    An amanita species being mixed in accidentally is actually exactly what I suspect happened to their bars. But there are many many other mushrooms that could do this too. Per their product page, there’s no amanita in these, either. Mushrooms also tend to absorb toxins, pesticides, and heavy metals, so they may be the right species but otherwise contaminated as well. Many options.

      I bet they mixed something up. My mother loved mycology and could identify a thousand different mushrooms, and the more she learned the more she learned not to trust fungus gathered in the wild, they all have a lot of imitators and lookalikes that can be incredibly dangerous.
