Resumo
Mushrooms of the genus Psilocybe frequently are ingested by recreational drug users for their hallucinogenic effects. We present the case of a 30-year-old man who allegedly received an intravenous injection of an extract of Psilocybe mushrooms. His clinical course was characterized in part by vomiting, severe myalgias, hyperpyrexia, hypoxemia, and mild methemoglobinemia, and it was similar to two previously reported cases. The patient improved rapidly with supportive care.
