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.
