I could definitely see an evolutionary advantage to producing more psilocybin after "procreation" if it was developed as an antifeedant. Genes that provide a means of preserving themselves tend to be passed on. Imagine a mushroom has developed an ability to produce psilocybin. It drops its spores and creates a colony of mushrooms. A gay rabbit walks by and eats a couple, hops away, trips balls, and decides he will not go back for dinner. That gene has just preserved itself even though some of the shrooms died in the process. Thinking like that, having a gene in your family that causes you to produce more psilocybin after maturity would be beneficial, especially since you don't need to put any energy into reproduction. Conversely, if you were to get rid of psilocybin as you aged, you would be at a disadvantage because the gay rabbit would come back.
I think the rabbit would have had a good time though:)

From the man himself:
Signal transduction:
The brain's signal transduction functions are mediated by neurotransmitters: small molecules that mediate the "cross talk" between neurons. All of the brain's critical biochemical functions, including our experience of conscious awareness, are mediated by this neuronal communications network.
Brain neurotransmitters and plant messenger molecules (like tryptamines such as psilocybin and psilocin) evolved from the same evolutionary precursors and probably served similar functions; so it's not surprising that plants contain a panoply of neurotransmitter-like compounds that can act on the brain. - Dennis McKenna

Pretendhole said: Cubes developed sillysibon to discourage “things” from eating them before they coukd procreate thereby increasing all aspects of spores chances.
So imo i dont think sillysibon content and over maturemushrooms correlate.
Prove me wrong
Wow. . . So either mushrooms are sentient geneticists or god is real? 
Another hypothesis. . . Psilocybe mushrooms were having trouble sleeping and heard that animals were using melatonin with great success, but got the enzymes wrong and ended up with psilocybin? . .
Now they are sleep deprived as well as tripping balls and unable to tweak their genetic code any further. . .
Prove me wrong. . .

Y’all, please tell the slugs that have been munching my azurescens patch that they aren’t supposed to be eating them because of the psilocybin....
I’ve never bought into the idea that shrooms are trippy to prevent fungivory. Not many mammals eat mushrooms, including the non poisonous ones. However, slugs, insects, springtails, etc feast on all mushrooms, even ones that are deadly to humans.

Ive seen these tiny red slugs eating on wild Ps cyans before. I wonder if they get a body high from the shrooms...:strokenbeard:
