Mushrooms are mentioned in a context that, although obscure, is certainly reli- 
gious. Today no trace of the use of Sacred Mushrooms has been found in Guatemala, 
where the Kakchiquel Maya live. For discussion of this text see Entry 1, p 282. R.G.W.

The good bishop deplores the use of mushrooms among his people. This is the 
only indication of the use of Sacred Mushrooms in the Huasteca, and unfortunately 
it is not clear whether Hausteco Indians were using them or Nahuatl-speaking 
immigrants. R.G.W.

One of two illustrations of the Sacred Mushrooms coming down to us from the 
16th century. This one, painted probably by an Indian under strong Spanish influence, 
expresses nevertheless the Indian’s awe before the miracle of the mushrooms. R.c.w.

A horrifying (and, as we know, fanciful) description, by a devout son of the Church, 
of the effects of taking the Sacred Mushrooms. He states that their name in Nahuatl, 
teonandcatl, means in that language “God’s flesh”, and ends his disquisition with the 
observation that the Indians served the mushrooms in Holy Communion. k.G.w.
