No idea what happened in this guy's case, but there has been a history of the FAA "revisting" PRNC medical conditions years later for whatever reason. Especially for mental health issues. In this case the timing smacks of maybe being some barn door slamming after the mushroom incident.
FAA can either re-open cases unilaterally, or direct AMEs to scrutinize applicants more carefully.
If you have anything like that in your file, and the AME asks about how things are going, are you busy, are you stressed... be careful what you say. They might not just be making small talk.
