'Hallucinogenic' MUSHROOMS may be to blame for US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, 76, repeatedly bowing to China's vice premier after she ordered four portions at dinner

• The usually stately Yellen has come under fire for breaking diplomatic protocol by bowing to her Chinese counterpart
• It has now been suggested her behavior may have been the result of  hallucinogenic mushrooms she consumed at a restaurant in Beijing 

Hallucinogenic mushrooms may be to blame for US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's cringeworthy bows to China's vice premier after she ordered four portions at dinner before their meeting.

Jian shou qing mushrooms, which have psychedelic properties, formed part of a traditional dish Yellen polished off at Beijing restaurant Yi Zuo Yi Wang.

The usually stately politician, 76, then came under fire for bowing repeatedly to her Chinese counterpart, He Lifeng.

Her behavior may have been the result of the mushrooms Yellen appeared to enjoy so much.

'Our staff said she loved the mushrooms very much. She ordered four portions of jian shou qing. It was an extremely magical day,' the restaurant posted on Weibo, a popular Chinese social media site.

Yellen, 76, ordered four portions of the hallucinogenic mushrooms during her trip to Beijing last week

Yellen's meal soon trended on the site and prompted discussion of the mushroom's properties.

'I have a friend who mistakenly ate them and hallucinated for three days,' Peter Mortimer, a professor at the Kunming Institute of Botany in Yunnan told CNN. 

Mortimer explained that the mushroom was considered poisonous because it could be hallucinogenic. 

Jian shou qing - which look very similar to porcini mushrooms - translates literally as 'see hand blue'.

After her repeated and effusive bows to He Lifeng, Yellen was criticized for showing weakness on behalf of America.

An American official does not bow. Bowing as an American official is a breach of protocol.
