P. Cyanescens grows EVERYWHERE in the world, and everywhere in the world they have undeniably been used in shamanic rituals. Why wouldn't this be the chase for Europe? I mean the Greek Oracles are a great example of this (though it had more to do with gasses?), Druidism another.
I do know that Amanitas Muscaria has been intertwined with some Dutch folklore, and it has been described as highly toxic ever since the dark ages. Probably by someone who ate it and thought he was possessed by a devil or something. Either way, once we got our own drug laws (Opiumwet), they were instantly put up as Class I. It seems Christianity has made us so scared of the indescribable that older shamanic rituals were forgotten.
