[OC] The Black Star mushroom

This mushroom has grown in the forests of Europe. These mushrooms have been used for 1000s of years as a psychedelic. They release black mucus like spores, when an animal eats the mucus, they will die only a few hours later, the mushroom spores will start growing inside the body, decomposing the animal.

The psychedelic property comes from (S)-2-amino-2-(3-hydroxyisoxazol-5-yl)acetic acid found inside the mucus, if taken in small doses, it will offer a mild to severe hallucination that are typically characterized by delirium, distorted sizes of objects, and profound sedation. If too high of a dose is taken, the creature will die from respiratory failure caused by the other neurotoxin, Muscarine
