Presence of Phenylethylamine in Hallucinogenic Psilocybe Mushroom: Possible Role in Adverse Reactions O. Beck, A. Helander, C. Karlson-Stiber, and N. Stephansson
The use of mushrooms containing the hallucinogenic substance psilocybin for intentional intoxication is relatively common. Occasionally, this results in adverse reactions with typical tachycardia that is not evidently caused by psilocybin. This study demonstrates the presence of phenylethylamine in the species Psilocybe semilanceata using gas chromatography?mass spectrometry and shows that the amount of this substance may vary much more than that of psilocybin. The highest amount of phenylethylamine (146 ?g/g wet weight) was observed in mushrooms from a case of three young men hospitalized because of adverse reactions. Comparison of the symptoms observed in clinical cases of magic mushroom intoxication with those after intake of pure psilocybin or phenylethylamine suggests that phenylethylamine might have a role in the development of adverse reactions to Psilocybe mushroom intake.

I think he's making more of a statement.
Species Psilocybe semilanceata contatins phenylethylamine which when ingested produces adverse affects with tachycardia. Psilocybin does not cause this.
Are you saying stay away from that strand because it's fairly common among shroomers and to my knowledge no one has died from it. This is the first I've heard of hospitalization (which could be just due to having a bad trip).
-------------------- We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies--all these are private and, ex- cept through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.

As far as i understand he's just throwing in an interesting article, that may help understand why sometimes people have adverse reactions to shrooms.
Just because semilanceata's contain PEA, doesn't mean you shouldn't take them. Many other things contain PEA including chocolate.
PEA is produced endogenously and is often said to be one of the neuro-chemicals responsible for the Love feeling in our species

Shulgin has taken up to 1600mg of PEA with no activity found.

Several European scholars have since re-examined P. semuilanceata and found no speed like chemicals inany of them. This again is a flase positive bit of research as bad as the FBI papaer which wrote about the purchase of Psilocybe cyanescens spore sp yringes from PF, wrote and paper and said no psilocine was found int he mycelia.
The saddest part is they id'ed the mushrooms from pictures from other mycol9ogisits books, having no knowledge that PF did not sell syrin ges of P. cyanescens but did sell P. cubensis.
The same is Carlos Castaneda's smoking humilito mushrooom powder and the recent FBI/DEA 11 million dollar 25 pounds of mushroom raid.
Ill informed persons studying botanical plants of which h they have no knowledge of to begin with.

There is no reported literature in journals or newspapers describing such an incident as you reported and a telephone conversation with the Poison Control Center in Atlanta, Georgia also has no written record of such a reported incident and no news service such as AP or UPI has any record of such an incident.

With something as safe to ingest as mushrooms the anti drug lobby are forced to invent bullshit.
