Carlos Castaneda smoked mushrooms

[Just Curious]

In the first book of the series, titled "The Teachings of Don Juan", Carlos is introduced by Don Juan to smoking a mixture of 3 parts mushrooms and 1 part of floweres and leaves.

Has anyone tried something similar?
I have read that heat destroys psilocybin, but nevertheless in the book it worked.

Here is the book. You can see the entry of Saturday, 27 January 1962 for some context

Unfortunately we don't know all the exact substances he used.

I have shifted my assemblage point on lsd though. (I literally went to a different version of my city).

His books are more like a tool to do what the old shamans did. Not everything is literal.

I heard he did a shit ton of lsd too.
