It could very well be that his wife was tripping -on mushrooms- when it was drawn!   
Also, it's very possible that various factors during the capture of that photograph including lighting, resolution, etc. could have not transferred the finer details of the cave painting.
Or maybe it is just all bullshit! But, would that take away from Terrence's magickal powers with words and ideas? He spoke so much about art saving the world that I will accept that he made shit up to support his ideas. He didn't want followers anyway, he just wanted people to THINK for a change!

A deplorable tactic used by drug prohibitionists.

we don't know how he arrived at that version of the picture. it seems just as likely that they did some sort of laser scan computer simulation recreation bullshit, as it is they just added extra mushrooms.
anyhow, while i don't agree with alot of mckenna's ideas,its how he tells them, and the way his mind works that is important to me.

Never assume for a moment that I don't think Mckenna is Dandy. And very, very Goose. Kay??

Mckenna was not here to teach. Unless it was about sterilization with bleach.
All he did was point each leach to the peach.

Wow, I looked all round the internet for more information and found an article about the Tassili mushroom man right here on the Shroomery 
It appears that there are two figures, one at Matalem-Amazar which is the one featured in Kat's drawing in Food of the God's (copied from another drawing made the original in 1963 by Jean-Dominique Lajoux) and another at In-Aouanrhat which the one appearing in the photograph I posted earlier and has fewer mushrooms in it.
So apologies for suggesting McKenna was being overly creative without looking for more evidence, although i thinking questioning things that don't appear right is important!
Here is the Shroomery article.
