WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Tuesday that she was not aware the meal she ate at a restaurant during her recent trip to China contained hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Yellen also said that she and the other guests did not feel ill or awkward after consuming the meal.
"So, I went with this large group of people and the person who had arranged our dinner and the order [said] there was a delicious mushroom dish. I was not aware that these mushrooms had hallucinogenic properties. I learned that later," Yellen told a American broadcaster.
In addition, the Treasury Secretary said she had read that mushrooms would not cause any adverse effects if cooked properly.
