Yes, something must have hung out in this mushroom. I'm not sure what.

It seems like someone made a home of it?

That's not a really fun method to cure alcoholism. But I like the art part!

Edible but dangerous because it causes alarming symptoms (nausea, palpitations) when taken in conjunction with alcohol; indeed, it has been given to alcoholics to cause these symptoms and eventually cure their habit. Good black drawing ink used to be made from the deliquesced caps by boiling the black "ink" with a little water and cloves.
