1658
A Polish prisoner of war writes about a culture from western Siberia (Ob-Ugrian Ostyak of the Irtysh region) "They eat certain fungi in the shape of fly-agarics, and thus they become drunk worse than on vodka, and for them that's the very best banquet."   

Originally published in Kamiensky Dluzyk. "Diary of Muscovite Captivity" 1874. pg 382.
