Why is there psilocybin?
    #17947606 - 03/13/13 05:17 AM (11 years, 2 months ago)

I was wondering what the biological use of psilocybin is for the mushroom/mycelium? Maybe the experts know what it does exactly apart forum making us trip balls:smile:

Its a way for the mushroom to keep small mammals from munching on it. Apparently not the case with humans.

This is not advanced mycology.

The question that you're asking gets asked all the time, and no one knows the answer.

However, it is somewhat plausible that it causes animals (particularly humans) to gather and eat them thus spreading spores and the mushrooms much further than they would ordinarily be able to. This is like "why do apples taste good?" At first, it was random, but then it confered an advantage over time. However, there is no proof of this or any other theory.

This thread has been closed.

Reason:
Not an advanced mycology topic.  Nobody knows why it exists and can only invent theories.
