 Psychedelic mushroom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psychedelic mushrooms are fungi that contain psychedelic substances, such as psilocybin, psilocin, or muscimol.
Mushrooms are approximately 90% water, though dosages for fresh mushrooms are not 10 times higher as some of the psilocybin and much of the psilocin are lost from oxidation in the drying process.
Magic mushrooms, whether dried or fresh were legal until 2001, when the Supreme Court of The Netherlands ruled dry mushrooms to be an illegal preparation of psilocybin and psilocin.

 Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms : by Ray Sahelian, M.D.
Basidiomycete mushroom - Active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) is a mixture of polysaccharides, amino acids, lipids and minerals derived from cocultured mycelia of several species of Basidiomycete mushrooms.
Mushrooms contain numerous substances including glycoproteins, glyconutrients, lectins, etc. Mushroom ingestion or a mushroom extract supplement can certainly influence the immune system and have an influence on cancer prevention or treatment.
Mushroom soup would be an excellent choice, because it is not only a hot liquid (which warms the throat and impairs viral replication) but one with the ability to boost a body's immune response.

 The Psychedelic State
Psychedelics were seized on by the beat writers, then by defrocked psychologists such as Leary and Alpert (subsequently Baba Ram Das), and finally by rock musicians.

 The History of Psychedelic Therapy with the Dying
The first suggestion that psychedelic substances could be useful in the therapy of individuals dying of incurable diseases came from pediatrician Valentina Pavlovna Wasson.
It seemed possible that her depression and anxiety, although reactive in nature and well substantiated by a painful life situation, might respond favorably to LSD therapy, as was the case in other conditions of a psychogenic nature.
And so, by the late 1970's essentially all psychedelic research in North America had ceased, and what remained of European research was a mere ghost of the promising work of the 1950's and 1960's.
