Olympic gold medalist skier Bode Miller pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of possessing psilocybin mushrooms, a hallucinogenic drug.

Miller was arrested in June in Idaho and pleaded not guilty to possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, the Associated Press reported.

Miller stated in a post on Instagram that an officer pulled him over after he had sped up to pass a vehicle on the highway. His friend had a small amount of marijuana and a pipe, which Miller said he wasn't aware his friend had. He said he cooperated with the office and expected the charges would be dropped once the facts were reviewed. The post doesn't mention mushrooms.

Court documents don't explain the circumstances of Miller's arrest, but Fremont County Sheriff's Deputy Jacob Hurt said in a probable cause statement that he found Miller with 4.1 grams of psychedelic mushrooms in a white dispensary bag.
