A Current Biology study reports a Florida swamp mushroom makes both psilocybin and deadly amatoxins.
The Current Biology research describes a little brown mushroom in Florida’s swamps that co-produces psilocybin and amatoxins. The researchers’ evolutionary analyses suggest its psychedelic genes came from unrelated fungi through horizontal gene transfer.
