Plants synthesize ergothioneine, showing a link to abiotic stress
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Various plants possess ergothioneine biosynthetic genes and can synthesize this antioxidant, where increased EGT levels under abiotic stress conditions indicate protective functions. Abstract Ergothioneine (EGT) is a sulphur‐containing histidine derivative and a potent antioxidant that exhibits beneficial effects on human health.

Wherefore the Magic? The Evolutionary Role of Psilocybin in Nature
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study explores the evolutionary role of psilocybin, the psychedelic compound found in Psilocybe mushrooms. We provide the first experimental tests of defence and community‐level evidence for invertebrate responses to psilocybin‐producing fungi, revealing significant negative effects on invertebrate locomotion, development, and survival.
