It would be much more interesting and akin to actual berserkers if a special type of mushroom were to be found in Dunland, which once consumed gave 2 hunger points, speed, and strength, and a almost unexistant small level of resistance similair to the zombies in vanilla- but nausea for 30 seconds before and after the experience.

And (don't ask me how I know this) but to consume any type of psychedelic mushroom in a liquid form it would have to be brewed as a tea, not fermented in a barrel.

However, I doubt that the Mod wants to add drugs in this game, despite already having added pipeweed. It said that they would often put it in mead, that's why I said to put it in mead, and I proposed an option for brewing it, or like put it in the cup of mead AFTER the brewing

Not everything has to be that realistic though, I'm starting to wonder if you've even read the whole suggestion.... I have- It was never said they put it in mead- they were directly ingested. Wether it is placed in or before, Psychedelic Mushrooms must be either physically broken down with the teeth and enzymes in your mouth and become ingested to release it's psychoactive properties, or heated up and drunk.

"Although classified as poisonous, reports of human deaths resulting from its ingestion are extremely rare. After parboiling—which weakens its toxicity and breaks down the mushroom's psychoactive substances—it is eaten in parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. Amanita muscaria  is noted for its hallucinogenic properties, with its main psychoactive constituent being the compound muscimol. The mushroom was used as an intoxicant and entheogen by the peoples of Siberia<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, and has a religious significance in these cultures. There has been much speculation on possible traditional use of this mushroom as an intoxicant in other places such as the Middle East, Eurasia, North America, and Scandinavia.

Depending on size, 3-4 is usually good for visionary stupefacient effects, while 1-2 are good for GABA-ergic inebriation."

It's just much more simple to either make a 'brew' which is made with 6 mushrooms, and 3 buckets of water, until tea-kettles are implemented- or have them be eaten raw with a much weaker and perhaps damaging effect.
