The Sacred Mushroom was one of the Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond shows
in 1961 (about the shows on Wikipedia). Here is the full episode psilocybin mushrooms were introduced to the western world by the tv show One Step Beyond, and the host was filmed after taking some.
A January 1961 episode, "The Sacred Mushroom", deals with the discovery of mind-altering drugs. Newland traveled to Mexico where he met with a local shaman who was an initiate in ritual use of magic mushrooms. The then-unknown mushrooms were purportedly able to increase the user's psychic powers. On camera, Newland ingested several mushrooms and allowed his reactions to be filmed for broadcast. This was the only episode of the entire series to have a relatively reality-based "documentary" tone, rather than the scripted docudramas that made up all other episodes. Although the subject matter (the enhancement of psychic powers) was in line with the rest of the series, this episode was somewhat controversial and was omitted from the syndication package; it has been seen only rarely since its original broadcast. However, according to Newland, it was the most popular episode of the series.

From the Adventure Rider website, which has lots of nice pics: "November 23rd,1980 a big earthquake strongly damaged all the area called “Irpinia” (next to here) killing about 3000 people and making lot of homeless. Due to the risk of coming down Romagnano al Monte was abandoned and re-built downriver."
