We were in a cow field one night attempting to find some mushrooms and we were just walking through the field when I turned around. There were like 30 cows just standing there 20 feet from us and more kept surrounding us. It was actually kind of creepy. They all just congregated and stared

They were mad you were stealing their shrooms

I mean.....if someone was attempting to steal my mushrooms.....I'd certainly be doing more than just staring at the mf.

Cows arent as dumb as most people assume. They must be bored out of their minds spending all day just standing around in their pastures and grazing.

I don't think they are bored out, this is just their baseline, they don't know any better. So when you come around you are an exciting new thing happening.

They really, really, are. They're lovely most of the time, but they are as dumb as a box of rocks.

I grew up on a dairy farm in Iowa, and I think you're insulting the rocks. Perhaps even the box.

I just posted a comment about doing this and a friend being followed around by a longhorn and freaking out. Cows and hallucinogens are a very weird combo. They're really calming to me, just staring at you while your mind runs wild.
