NORTH ELBA, N.Y. — In the Adirondack Mountains of New York, two hikers made a 911 call mistakenly reporting a comrade’s death, which was later attributed to their consumption of hallucinogenic mushrooms, officials stated on Wednesday.

On Saturday, a state forest ranger responded to a report of a supposedly deceased hiker on Cascade Mountain, a favored trek among the Adirondack High Peaks, as cited in a Department of Environmental Conservation news release.

The hikers who made the 911 call also informed a mountain summit steward that they were lost. The steward assessed that the hikers were experiencing an altered mental condition, according to the agency’s report.

The supposedly dead person called and was not injured.

The ranger escorted the two hikers down to an ambulance, which took them to a hospital, and brought the third to the group’s campsite, where they all later met up, officials said.
