They are not here to ask, and nothing can be ruled out. When was the first law, hence illegality or taboo? We simply do not know. If nothing can be ruled out because we can't ask, then the negation of any possibility is equally applicable . i.e .do not discount the possibility that the stones were erected because of the absence of certain types of mushroom ,or , do not discount the possibility that the stones were not erected in some areas due to the presence of certain types of mushroom , or, do not rule out the possibility that the presence or otherwise of certain types of mushroom had no influence at all of the choice of site where stones were erected . Open season does not get us very far without some support for the possibilities . I've no idea about mushrooms or whatever, although there was a time in my youth..but we'll not go there, ahem, many accidents. I'm just thinking about this being a "young" culture in terms of how we think now & how that might have been.
