In North Elba, New York, two hikers in the Adirondack Mountains mistakenly reported a third member of their party dead after consuming hallucinogenic mushrooms. On Saturday, the two hikers called 911 from Cascade Mountain, a well-known peak in the region, claiming a fellow hiker had died. Upon arrival, a state forest ranger discovered that the third hiker was alive and unharmed. The two individuals who had called for help also informed a summit steward that they were lost, leading the steward to assess their mental state as altered, likely due to the mushrooms.
The ranger facilitated the safe descent of the two hikers to an awaiting ambulance, which then transported them to a hospital for evaluation. Meanwhile, the third hiker was escorted back to the group’s campsite. Eventually, the three reunited without any serious injuries. The incident highlights the potential dangers associated with hallucinogenic mushrooms and the importance of ensuring clear communication and safety in outdoor activities.
