your grandmother was apparently right because if you look through other plates including the large one posted, you'll see all the trees look like mushrooms

Pff, that was just the artist's way of showing us how important mushrooms are to Christianity.
One day, every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that mushrooms are holy.

This is by NO means a common text...its just a book ...there are lots of books out there w/ crazy pictures right now. And moreover books from those times (date seems vague) commonly picture all sorts of wild, fantastical stuff. In 700 years people will be looking at those pictures and saying "AHA - these people ALL worshiped a deity called ' Brad Pitt'. Just because it was printed or drawn and involves Jesus DOES not make it a seminal text. Unless you find a text COMMONLY used and recognized you have no smoking gun. The mana stuff sounds good and very well be true (I think so) BUT you cant claim b/c you found pictures of an old random text that the ENTIRE religion was at some point based on mushrooms. Thats bad scholarship. AND if it somehow was, it certainly is not now. I can't imagine you wil find many Christians who claim their religion is unchanged anywhere - outside of Ethiopia. I can sense the guys over at the Something Awful site getting ready to do a "Shroomery Wisdom" part 2 on this.

amanitas?

Is that (pretty much) what's represented?
And cannabis. (The green vine like structure. If considering weaving that makes perfect sense.)

It is the most tasty way to eat it...
it said they tasted like honey, not that they mixed them with honey I dont recall the bible mentioning moses lugging around a bunch of bee hives through the desert
Ever considered that EVERY SINGLE BIBLE until around 200 years ago was WRITTEN BY HAND. Also, consider that this is also a translation... Now, if just say 20 words in the entire bible was made slightly different each time it was written, (and considering the size of the book, that is quite a modest number.) the stuff can have a quite different meaning to it...
Also, one thing I'm wondering, is this whole argument that they couldn't have came across mushrooms in the desert, well how did they come across morning dew in a place with such a low amount of water? In any case, Desert could be a metaphor for hardship. It is very unlikely that they walked in an actual desert for 40 years.
