Is psilocybin antibacterial/antifungal?
    #27942891 - 09/10/22 01:49 AM (1 year, 4 months ago)

Thinking about the life history of psilocybin mushrooms, it would make sense if psilocybin helped suppress the germination of competing organisms. That helps this mushroom against competitors and helps it establish a niche.

Let us say you had plates of two developed mushroom species, one psilocybe cubensis, the other agaricus bisporus. You applied a heavy dosage of pure psilocybin to both plates. Is it possible that the intense alkaloid would be more damaging to the agaricus than to the psilocybe? How about if you applied psilocybin infusions to molds like Aspergillus?

If psilocybe hurts the growth of competitors, it would make sense that the mushrooms would produce it even in its mycelium in culture - it is attempting to limit the growth of other things. It doesn't hurt itself by doing so because it is adapted to it.
