Lycoperdon- Puffballs- Devil’s Snuff Box Lyco-perdon = wolf farts 💨 These fungi emit small clouds of spores when they are mature creating little plooms in the air around them. Most puffball mushrooms are edible when you, but slightly resemble young amanitas some of which are toxic. There are some varieties in Mexico and North America reported to have psychoactive effects, or a ritual important to the Blackfeet and Cherokee among others. A number of puffballs have been studied for their psychoactive effects with no trace of any psychoactive components. It is believed that the dream-inducing and visionary effects of some of these mushrooms is attributed to a more subtle mechanism. *please do not eat puffballs or any other unidentified mushrooms* Image from Wikipedia Commons #poisonpath #lycoperdon #magicmushrooms #ethnobotany #ethnopharmacology #plantlore #folklore #plantmagic #strangeplants #botanicaloddities #greenmagic #plantspiritally #plantspiritmedicine https://www.instagram.com/p/CdrXweqLE2-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
