I have a friend who's reading those books, I was actually thinking about picking one up at the library the other day.

Anyway, are you sure he's smoking psilocybin mushrooms? Because like the above guy said, I was pretty sure psilocybin was destroyed by the kind of heat that would be necessary to smoke it.

Amanita Muscaria on the other hand is very smokable, and the high from smoking them is very nice and calm, though nothing psychadellic. Of course, Amanita's were the most fucked up experience I've ever had. -vomits on himself just thinking about it- Man, getting lost in my own head.. then getting lost in my friends head. Then taking over my friends body and making him share his weed with people. HA, man, tripped out hilarity.
