This paper establishes the hypothesis that the Selva Pascuala mural, a work of post-Paleolithic rock art in Spain, contains fungoid figures depicting neurotropic fungi, especially Psilocybe hispanica, a species that occurs in a neighboring region. The mural represents the first direct evidence for possible ritual use of Psilocybe in prehistoric Europe.
