The Lightning said: At the risk of talking to myself here, how can L-Tryptophan be immediately phosphorilized into either Psilocybin or Psilocin?

Can you give me a quick understanding of what that process would take?
It's not. In the mushroom the 3 step reaction from Tryptophan to Psilocybin is done enzymatically. Psilocybin to psilocin can be converted naturally even by heat. In the lab its a little more difficult to convert to psilocybin.
