So suggests a cave mural in Spain, which may depict fungi with hallucinogenic properties – the oldest evidence of their use in Europe.

They believe that the objects are the fungi thehawkseye.com/hispanica/hisp.html a local species with hallucinogenic properties. Isn’t good knowing that your misbehavior has its roots in the history of mankind?
