Psilocybe semilanceata, is my best guess. The symptoms point towards a ressemblance of the LSD molecule, which was first isolated from mushrooms in Switzerland in the mid 1900's

Magic mushrooms (species Psilocybe, Conocybe, Gynmopilus, Panaeolus) contain psilocybin and psilosin and produce hallucinogenic effects. Those compounds are chemically related to LSD and serotonin.
