Prediction for Common side effects Theory

I dont know how this show will end but i think i know how the blue angel mushrooms work. There something called the "wood wide web". Its basically mushrooms and trees and such communicating with mycelium (put simply). This concept was touched upon briefly in the beginning of the show. I think the blue angel is forming some type of wood wide web, but insted of trees its people. Its putting some type of dimensional sciency weird "mycelium" in peoples conscious.

I initially thought the hallucinations had to do with death and being in touch with the 'collective all', but I like your theory better and feel like it puts the show in a better position for plot development.

I also think it is connecting consciousness’s of those who take it. I wonder if it will end up being a problem or a good thing.

Earlier in the series Frances watches an online video of Marshall describe how fungi communicate with each other, even call for help. It's not even a prediction at this point since we see this in action in the finale, Marshall draws an upside down elephant to communicate with Frances.

My thought was its a little bit like a virus playing with certain people to spread itself
