Reindeer "Processing"
The article states "Dr Patrick Harding describes the laplander custom of processing the fly agaric through reindeer.[63]"
This intrigued me, so I went to the cited source to see what it meant. The professor says nothing about reindeer processing the fungus. He talks about people drinking the urine of shamen to get the hallucinogen because they weren't important enough to get the actual mushroom. He also said that reindeer would consume human urine for the same purpose. He does not say that people consumed reindeer urine.
My suggestion would be to rewrite the sentence to reflect what the cited source actually said. Dkelber (talk) 19:41, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
