There may be two reasons for this: first, a fresh mushroom when crushed or pressed becomes a soft mucoid mass; the second could be an ancient connection between Fomes fomentarius and the fly agaric, which, if improperly prepared and then ingested, might lead to the same sort of frenzied, hyperactive behavior observed in botfly-infested animals.
