    Psychedelic, I am not so sure. But medicinal, yes, or most likely. This is a spectacular picture -- the stature resembles Ganoderma lucidum, but the colors are quite different. Look on google for reishi.

    I assumed they thought the mushroom had a psychedelic look to it, not that it could have actually been psychedelic.
