Mushroom picking is becoming increasingly popular in Switzerland - especially among young people.
But experts are warning about a growing trend: the search for so-called “magic mushrooms.”
These hallucinogenic varieties, which alter perception and mood, are being consumed by more people each year.
A recent study shows that 30 percent of those seeking addiction advice in 2024 had used them, up from 9 percent four years earlier.
Mushroom inspectors say they’re facing new challenges identifying or handling such finds, with some confiscating them and others refusing to intervene.
Experts urge caution - mistaking toxic species can be deadly.
