13	Mulder and Scully investigate the mysterious death of a couple whose skeletons were found in the forest.
14	----
15	!!Tropes:
16	* AGlitchInTheMatrix: Both Mulder and Scully realize at various points that things are not what they seem and that they are in a hallucination.
17	* DoubleMeaningTitle: "Trip" as in "expedition" and as in "hallucinatory experience".
18	* DreamWithinADream: Mulder and Scully realize the mushroom is causing them to hallucinate and snap out of it... except, not really.
19	* FungusHumongous: The episode features a giant underground fungal complex; the non-sentient growth sucks down its human victims and doses them with powerful hallucinogens to keep them docile while it slowly digests them.
20	* MindScrew: Bizarre things happen inside Mulder's and Scully's hallucinations, such as the Lone Gunmen believing Scully's case report, as well as Mulder retrieving an alien from the cave.
21	* MonsterOfTheWeek: A ''very'' dangerous fungal complex.
22	* MushroomSamba: The spores Mulder and Scully are exposed to for most of the episode are said to have similar effects to LSD.
23	* SchrodingersButterfly: There's no way to be sure that the final scene in which they were rescued is real. It's possible that it wasn't, but they were still ultimately rescued, as people knew where they were going, and their vehicles were parked in the open not far away. It's also possible that they were never rescued and [[MindScrew the entire rest of the series is their extended hallucination as they lie dying underground]].
24	* TogetherInDeath: In the teaser, a couple is shown cuddling and lying together in bed facing each other. The final shot of the teaser reveals they are already skeletons.
