Gordon Wasson tried to argue in favor of Amanita muscaria, which is plausible but not particularly supported by evidence.https://www.amazon.com/Soma-Mushroom-Immortality-Ethno-Mycological-Studies/dp/0156838001 …

and since you asked for a hot take: Amanita tincture created through bio-contentration. Muscimol (psychoactive compound in the mushroom) is retained in urine. Yogi eats shrooms and then pees them out. Followers drink "soma", which is yogi piss.
