We recently brewed a 20% rye (Weyermann®) and while milling the grain we noticed some long black "grains". I did not think too much of this at the time, but it since then I've been wondering if this might not have been Ergot:

i unfortunately did not take a photo of this, but it looked very similar to this image. There were only a few of these "grains" and we did not add these to the batch, but I am now wondering if it is safe to drink.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Have we created a hallucinogenic beer?
