New York hikers called cops thinking their friend died on a trail – but they were just high on mushrooms: authorities

They had quite a trip.

A pair of New York hikers called police, believing their friend had died on an Adirondacks trail but were discovered to be entirely mistaken and stoned off psychedelic mushrooms, according to authorities.

State forest rangers near Cascade Mountain received a disturbing call from two hikers who said their friend was dead on the popular Adirondack Mountains trail and that the pair was lost, the Department of Environmental Conservation said in a release about the May 24 incident.

A ranger was successfully sent to recover the two stranded woodsmen and quickly determined they were “in an altered mental state,” and later discovered they had ingested the psychoactive substance, according to the release.

The friend they believed to be “dead” also called park officials and was found alive and completely uninjured, according to the release.

That third hiker — who was separated from his two pals — was found and escorted back to the group’s campsite, officials said.

In a twist of irony, park officials called an ambulance not for a “dead” hiker but for the loopy duo who were zooted off of the psychoactive fungi.
