Psilocybin mushrooms

They grow almost all over the world, they can be found both in the fields and in the meadows. Before the advent of human civilization, they only existed in closed ecosystems. Many of them benefited from natural disasters. Volcanoes, landslides, floods, hurricane spots are their favorite natural habitats. The appearance of man, along with its exploitation of natural resources in the form of logging, wood processing and animal husbandry, also favors the spread of psilocybin mushrooms. Today, many psilocybin grow near the human environment, in suburban parks, on golf courses, at schools, in industrial complexes, etc. This successful adaptation process is a recent phenomenon, because in the not so distant past the mushrooms of this species must have existed in a completely different environment.

Mycologist Paul Stamets has ventured to suggest that since humans, like other animals, unwittingly spread microscopic spores, perhaps psilocybin mushrooms have developed a symbiotic bond with our species by taking advantage of humans' interest in the world of vision. A similar strategy is used by fruit-bearing plants, wrapping the seeds in delicious fruit that humans and animals desire.

Psilocybin and the fungi from which it was isolated for the first time belong to the group of substances that resist easy classification. In addition to psilocybin, it includes: mescaline, derived from the North American and Mexican peyote cactus; DMT (dimethyltryptamine), along with its chemical relatives, which is a psychoactive ingredient in the Amazonian Ayahuasca concoction, as well as cohoba or epena inhaled powders; the infamous LSD, originally derived from ergot growing on the grain; ibogaine, (more about ibogaine) derived from the root of the Middle African Tabernanthe iboga shrub; and many others.

In the past half-century, these substances (as well as others, discovered in laboratories, but having no shamanic uses), extracted from plants or synthesized in laboratories, have been subjected to numerous scientific studies. The primary purpose of this research was to elucidate the chemistry and pharmacology of these substances; then checking their possible therapeutic application; and in some cases checking their impact on the development of awareness, creativity and deepening of religious and spiritual experiences.
