You dodged my question. Are there any Egyptian texts describing ritual A. muscaria use, or for that matter, any psychoactive mushrooms?

I have no idea. Maybe google.com will reference it. We do know that the present Egyptian population is substantially descended from the NEOLITHIC people who moved to the banks of the Nile when the grasslands of the Sahara disappeared.

Earlier populations were much more primitive. They didn't build stuff for one thing. However, there were undoubtedly itinerate Sumerians coming into the area for raw materials.

The Nile valley was a wild place in those days without civilization.

Get your time line together. When Neolithic Semitic speaking Egypt started the old mushroom culture was gone! Did these guys use dope? I don't know. Probably. Everybody used dope in the old days. Now, did they use Soma? Could be. Probably if they traveled to Sumer or the far North they did, or even to the top of a mountain somewhere.
