- Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen inadvertently consumed magic mushrooms during a visit to China.
- Yellen says she didn't trip on the shrooms, and properly cooking them kills the psychedelic properties.
- The dish sold out at the chain's other locations after Yellen ate there.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen almost took her trip to China a little too literally.
Yellen said she was unaware that the "delicious mushroom dish" she ordered at a popular Chinese restaurant contained mushrooms that could be hallucinogenic.
"I was not aware that these mushrooms had hallucinogenic properties," Yellen told CNN's Erin Burnett. "I learned that later."
