A 23-year-old Hamilton woman has died after eating magic mushrooms.

Senior Sergeant Marcus Lynam, of Hamilton police, said the woman died at 10pm yesterday after consuming "a quantity" of magic mushrooms.

He warned the public of the dangers of the mushrooms, which contain an active ingredient classified as an illegal class A controlled drug.

The compounds in the mushrooms were psychedelics and caused a loss of reality and possibly paranoia. They can induce a "bad trip" and can be fatal.

"Under no circumstances should magic mushrooms be consumed," he said.

Mr Lynam said there was also danger in consuming any unknown wild mushroom.

Investigations were continuing to determine the exact cause of the woman's death and the matter had been referred to the coroner.

Police do not intend to release the woman's name.

Psychedellic mushrooms are not lethal in doses within reason (say, under 10 grams dry).
