... So far, eight people across four states have been sickened"four in Arizona, two in Indiana, one in Nevada, and one in Pennsylvania, the FDA reported. Of the eight, six have been hospitalized.

Steve Dudley, director of the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center, added that there's "clearly something toxic occurring" with the chocolates. "We've seen the same phenomenon of people eating the chocolate bar then seizing, losing consciousness, and having to be intubated." Dudley noted that the state is aware of additional cases beyond the eight reported Friday by the FDA. Those cases were reported from Nebraska and Utah. It's not entirely clear what is in the chocolates or what could be causing the illnesses. The FDA said it was working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as America's Poison Centers to "determine the cause of these illnesses and is considering the appropriate next steps." On its website, Diamond Shruumz says that its chocolate bars contain a "primo proprietary blend of nootropic and functional mushrooms." The website also contains reports of laboratory analyses on their products, some of which indicate the absence of select known fungal toxins and compounds such as the hallucinogen psilocybin and cannabinoids. ...

Mushrooms aren't always easy to identify. There's probably a poisonous one somewhere in their "proprietary blend."

I had some mushroom chocolate. The crucial missing keyword from its ingredients was psilocybin. Whatever else was in the chocolate did fn(k-all. I have a feeling that marijuana dispensary adjacent products (the ones that don't have THC, but have some other "magic" in them) are new-age BS. CBD does absolutely nothing for me as well

There are bold mushroom hunters. There are old mushroom hunters. But there are no bold, old mushroom hunters.

I used to live in North San Diego county and every year like clockwork there'd be field workers dying after eating poison mushrooms.
They look "just like" the ones back home, except for the liver failure.

Yikes! Tripping should not involve seizures and intubation.
