Fungi: Coal-Puffs:

In MaL the fungus Morchella Alogia, more commonly called a Coal-Puff, grows on either crushed or solid lignite coal, its puffed exterior dry and stiff, but the interior of the fungus is spongy and moist.  It is a delicacy due to its savory and lightly bitter taste, but some governments strictly regulate or ban the harvesting or growing of the fungus, as the base of the black and gray coal puff is surrounded by thin purple tendrils.  These tendrils contain a potent hallucinogenic which when crushed and smoked may cause the inhaler of the fumes to have alternating sensations of space expanding and closing in on them.  Taken orally or through other means without first exposing it to air and drying it tendrils its toxin even more potent and has a seventy-percent chance of causing heart attacks or strokes, so most adventurous drug users still tend to follow the advice of those that have tried it before rather than risking almost certain death.
