I had assumed from observing Brackenfellian natives that shrooms just grew everywhere and were leaking psychoactive compounds into the water supply.

If you can get hold of some spores then it's easy enough to grow your own. Look for discord groups around mushroom mycology. They send spore prints for mycology purposes only 
not sure if anything like this exists in the SA market though.
I never took personally while I stayed in SA but looking at what my friends got given while I lived there, called honey jars, it was cut up fresh shrooms which were then covered in honey and put in the jar. After growing my own I saw that most times it's unlikely to ever be enough to get a good high unless you get a potent strain or if you consumed multiple jars worth. As an indicator for an average run of the mill strain like golden teacher they recommend 1g-3.5g dried. From both the internet and my own experience drying has a 10:1 ratio meaning 1g dry is 10g fresh. Drying obviously allows for longer storage and can keep for years.
Look up uncle bens tek for the easiest way to grow.
You can look up Philly Golden Teacher on youtube. I used all his tek and had many successful yields.

I am going to hijack this thread quickly. I have been hearing about Turkey tail mushrooms and their benefits to cancer patients. But looking around I have no idea what constitutes good quality when it comes to extracts etc.
Is there some site that is trustworthy? Any place I can find out how to tell if a particular brand is good quality? Anyone have a suggestion as to a good product or place to order from?

Apparently the Oriveda products are extracts instead of powders?
And they are independently tested?
By the way, some mushrooms contain beta-glucans but there are also supplements for that.

Turkey Tail Mushroom (Trametes versicolor)

very knowledgeable local/ZA outfit.
A mushroom that makes you see tiny people but has no known psychoactive compounds. Guess that would make it legal in a lot of places.

This Mushroom Reliably Makes You See Tiny People, And Scientists Have

Perhaps what we perceive as tiny people is actually something else but our brains can't process it.

Quite possible. People who suffer from macular degeneration often experience seeing little people, small children and weird vicious animals and other strange things due to the brain trying to compensate for what the eye is no longer seeing properly. People often confuse this with dementia in older people. My mom often used to see these things and we thought she was crazy until an eye surgeon explained this to me. She later developed dementia and passed away at 96 still being confused with these "hallucinations."
Macular degeneration is not for sissies.
Your mom lived to a ripe old age. Was the eye surgeon able to help slow down the progression of the disease?

Unfortunately he couldn't help slow down the degeneration. She did go for some experimental treatment at the eye hospital in Benoni, it was very expensive and the medical aid did not cover this but it didn't seem to help.
Sorry to hear the treatment didn't help. Must have been very disappointing.
