Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Farmers in the speaker's college area put antifungal food in cow diets to prevent psilocybin mushrooms from growing.
The finding
What remains unresolved
This is a local recollection about farms near the speaker's college. No named farm, feed formulation or contemporaneous record is provided. A general absence of documentation does not prove it never happened, and dung-associated mushrooms are not explained away by saying fungi grow in soil. The specific antifungal-feed story remains unverified.
No supporting source was captured. This finding should not be treated as a sourced conclusion.
