Hikers Mistake Mushroom Trip for Tragedy, Call 911
Two hikers went for a walk in the mountains and took some mushrooms.
They started feeling very strange and thought their friend had died.
They called for help, and the rangers found them in a weird state.
It turned out their friend was fine, and they were just having a bad trip.
Medics were called to help the hikers who were feeling unwell, not for their friend.
Hikers called 911 reporting their friend dead on a trail.

The hikers were found in an altered mental state.
The 'dead' hiker was alive and well.
Medics were called for the hikers who were experiencing a bad trip.
