The mushrooms used are called hed ki wua in Thailand (cowdung mushrooms) because they are growing quite readily in the wild on this substrate; they are the normal, well known Psilocybin shrooms you can get back in Europe grown "commercially", I would not be so sure that the amounts you could consume in a shake or a magic pizza could be uncontroled and therefore dangerous.

To my great surprise the Thais in Isaan did not even know of their psychoactive properties and thought me quite crazy suggesting that they could be prepared and/or consumed; so I never got the chance to try them.

I know they can be had quite readily on Koh Phangan; they are as illegal as any other drug in Thailand, so be careful.
