Berlin museum offers night on a magic mushroom BERLIN (Reuters) - Visitors to Berlin's Museum for Contemporary Art can book themselves a night in an installation created by artist Carsten Hoeller at a cost of 1,000 euros (889.6 pounds) as of November 5. The installation, which includes a floating hotel room on a platform shaped like a mushroom, gives guests an "opportunity to dive into the world of soma," the museum said. Soma is a mythical drink with powers to heal, enlighten and provide access to the divine, according to the beliefs of Vedic nomads in northern India during the second millennium BC. It is no longer known what soma was made of, but research suggests the fly agaric mushroom, more popularly known as "magic mushrooms," may have been the ingredient responsible for its effect. This provided Hoeller with the inspiration for his fantastical installation. The exhibition, which explores how to achieve enlightenment and the role given to science and myth in society, will be open until February 6 next year. (Reporting by Michelle Martin; Editing by Steve Addison) some stuff by Carsten Hoeller. I couldn't find the "floating mushroom hotel room" at the Berlin Museum. 
I think this one are a series of slides at the Tate Modern (London). 
This one is somewhere in Milan.  |

 Coolness: 37845 | That would probably be cool on real magic mushrooms. I've heard that amanitas don't make very good psychedelics. :P |

 Coolness: 50330 | Yeah....confusing Amanitas with Magic Mushroom seems like a good way of giving bad rep to Psilocybin. |

| Coolness: 102715 | Who the fuck knows what they put in the Soma they're offering at the Berlin's museum. The reporter wroted that they suspected it was this: [ www.erowid.org ]
Didn't think people give a shit about the reputation of a mushroom species. |

Think of it like this: amanitas are to psilocybin mushrooms as BZP is to MDMA. If someone who isn't all that informed about how the underground drug market works buys an "E" pill for the first time, and all that's in it is a fuckload of BZP, they're probably not going to have a very high opinion of MDMA. Likewise, if someone eats some amanitas thinking they're "magic mushrooms," they will probably think that magic mushrooms are a shitty drug. It's most likely that amanitas are being used at this event, and not psilocybin mushrooms, as in Germany mushrooms containing psilocin and psilocybin are to some degree illegal (like with much drug policy, the legality of some drugs in Germany can be quite vague) while amanitas are legal pretty much everywhere. |
