Yeah, it must have been Moses' stash when he saw the burning bush.

My professor in college a couple of years ago (an Old Testament class of course) had a doctorate degree in religious studies and had study the actual Hebrew texts that the Bible is from. Manna was actually a reference to a certain bush/grass type of stuff that in the morning produce a sweet sticky substance (probably kind of doughy) that people in the desert would resort to eating. Manna is also a reference to unleavened bread, but having "bread rain from the heavens" was like saying that God provided for them.. showered them in a blessing when they awoke. It's a little symbolic :)

No, this part of the story was entirely mythological, IMO, unless the extraterrestrials who lead the party with a pillar of clouds by day, and a pillar of fire by night, had a supply of what-not they wise-acred the group with, I'm not sure. Manna sounds curiously like tofu, somehow. You ever tasted tofu?

No, too many people would have had very bad experiences for it to have been 'shrooms, but nice thought

No, I don't. But it doesn't surprise me that someone could cook up such nonsense.
