Toronto Sun: "Long before the modern hippy discovered them, magic mushrooms -- hallucinogenic fungi -- were used by ancient humans in religious ceremonies.
Cave paintings discovered in Spain depict fungi with hallucinogenic properties in relation to religious rituals.
According to a report in New Scientist, a row of 13 small mushroom-like objects in the painting also match the known size and shape of so-called magic mushrooms, called psilocybe hispanica.
The report notes, however, that these are not the oldest representations of magic mushrooms used by people. A similar mural in Algeria dates the practice as far back as 9,000 years."
