If you dont believe in religion or god you can say its no purpose. Myself however am Catholic and feel that they are good food in addition to helping to regulate other species.
I feel that the hallucinations from magic mushrooms are probaly some kind of defense mechanism.

hey I think they are a good tool in exploring different states of mind, and learning how the mind works. But if that is not the reason, they are fun trip anyway!

in the natural order of mostly earth, fungis is there to consume decaying matter, like dead leaves, dung, rotting wood, mostly decaying organisms.
They break down the decaying matter in such a way that other organisms (animals like humans, bears, mice and such) can consume them as food, therefore continuing the great circuit of existence (see: Lion King).
It can be said that Psychedelic fungis developed Tryptamines as a defense mechanisms to get animals to not eat them right out, it would make them uncomfortable and "trip".
It could be said that Psychedelic fungis are a natural ally of animals capable of higher choice, memory and intellect (note, not all animals capable of intellect are actually intelligent, see: Paris Hilton).
Did Psychedelic plants and fungis aid in the development of spiritual and religious experience throughout the evolution of human consciousness/culture? I believe so (see: Food of the Gods, Terrance McKenna)
The mind is malleable, thought the flesh and psychedelics the scalpel. Conversation the pique of human evolution as we know it, the tool to bind thought flesh together.
Evolve with love!
Evolve with a vision for humanity in the future, and in the present.
Trip again.
And again.
Think about Love, and connecting your ego with your fellow trippers, do not be self serving in such a matter that it is detrimental to everyone else.
be self serving in such a metter that it aids everyone around you...
BE BEAUTIFUL.
Be love.

you know, i often wondered what the earth's purpose was in having all these naked monkeys running around trying to find and eat said 'wierd ass shaped organisms'. like they enjoyed it or something...
now my g/f asked me to contribute this: she wants to know what the earth's purpose was in having naked monkeys with a 'wierd ass organism' shaped like a mushroom growing from between their legs that she is supposed to eat...
ahh, the wonderful cyclical nature of life...

Well put Todcasil, I was going to say essentially the same thing. When they consume certain things, the waste that they leave from consumption is left in the soil for plants to use for their nutrition. It also helps to get rid of waste left, (so we don't have 65,000,000,000 years worth of leaves lying on the ground). Humans aren't the only organism that serves much of a purpose, everything on the earth serves some purpose or another, providing in one way or another to the great sphere of life.
Oh god... I sound like a fucking druid or something,

I believe Humanity's purpose on earth is to witness the sheer beauty and wonder of it.
No magic in modern science? no magic in modern religion?
Spirituality and science are wonderfully magnificent things! Enchant your life with thoughts of beauty and love.
Any human can act like any animal it cares to emulate.
But any human can also obtain a higher ideal of Love, compassion and Beauty (and also of Hate, Greed and Repulsiveness).
Is it our purpose to choose, given that we have this higher way of choosing?
Is it our purpose to choose to perceive everything as beautiful? Is it our purpose to Give AND Receive simply for the sake of brotherhood, sisterhood, HUMANITY?
As far as we know, we are the most highly evolved land mammals, what then is our end?
Is it to consume and enslave our environment, scoffing and ridiculing the lower beasts, perhaps puttying them? Maybe secretly, or vocally wishing their freedom?
Or shall we nourish the land in which we SPRANG from? shall we hold hands with the trees and look in the eyes of the animals in recognition of the beauty that is our existence?
blah blah blah!!
