I did something about one of the gospel writers beign on mushrooms in a cave, wasn't it the one who wrote the Armageddon end times stuff in revelations?
Is that what they were referring to?
Not sure.
But there are parts of the old testament that talk about eating 'manna'.
I think they mention it about/after 1:20. They even say that a Bishop's hat is shaped like mushroom.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MannaA number of ethnomycologists such as R. Gordon Wasson, John Marco Allegro and Terence McKenna, have suggested that most of characteristics of manna are similar to that of psilocybe cubensis, namely that such mushrooms are notorious breeding grounds for insects and decompose rapidly. These peculiar fungi which naturally produce a number of molecules which resemble human neurochemicals first appear as small fibres (called mycellium) which resemble hoarfrost. This speculation (also paralleled in Philip K. Dick's posthumously published The Transmigration of Timothy Archer) is supported in a wider cultural context when compared with the praise of Haoma in the Rigveda, and Mexican praise of teonanácatl as well as the peyote sacrament of the Native American Church, and the Holy Ayahuasca used in the ritual of the União do Vegetal.[25]
