Magic mushrooms may have been to blame for Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s mortifying bow before a Chinese official last week.
Yellen, 76, gobbled four portions of jian shou qing, a type of wild mushroom, when she dropped in at a casual Beijing restaurant soon after she arrived there on July 6, Chinese state media reported in an effusive story that took care to praise the secretary’s chopstick skills.
But the funky fungi are known in their native province of Yunnan for their unpredictable psychedelic effects, CNN reported.

This ties to other magic mushroom news in the last few months - AOC, Cranshaw and FetterBrain have all fungicided into the news their views on the topic.

I must confess, I clicked on this thread for the comments.

I just posted the same article. You are apparently quicker at formatting and posting an article than I am because we had to be posting it at about the exact same time.
I’ll hit an abuse on my thread.
This is a hilarious excuse! Someone must have been on ‘shrooms when coming up with such a thing.

I guess Yellen was trippin’ on mushrooms while the Chinese chain sodomized her in an act of domination.

GMTA.
Way back, when she said she was going on a Trip, she meant it literally.

What a stupidly written click-baity article. Psilocybin is illegal in China and the stock photo of the dish shows Agaricus bisporus. The article implies that since the mushrooms in the dish came from the same chinese province where shrooms are found, then Yellen must have eaten shrooms. Airtight logic. When the authorities do run into wild shrooms, they cordon it off like nuclear waste and pick them all for disposal. Can't have people questioning authority 'n stuff.
