It has been suggested that northern Europeans’ wariness of mushrooms may stem from long-established taboos relating to the use of mushrooms containing mind expanding substances.

 

These would originally have been reserved for those shamans or priests who served as intermediaries between the common folk and the unseen worlds of spirit.

 

The Amanita Muscaria or fly agaric may have been the earliest source of entheogens, that is hallucinogenic substances used for religious or shamanic purposes, the use of which date back possibly over 10,000 years.
