Yes, mushrooms can be laced, meaning that they may have been artificially modified to contain a controlled substance. Lacing is often used in illegal markets and can occur in various types of mushrooms, including but not limited to, those containing psilocybin, mushroom poisoning (the presence of toxins in mushrooms) and synthetic drugs like fentanyl. Consuming laced mushrooms poses serious health risks, even in small amounts, as they can trigger intense hallucinations, paranoia, and other mental health issues. To ensure safety, it is crucial to only consume mushrooms from trusted sources and to understand the potential risks associated with their consumption.
