Wow!

I mean, sure, many organisms produce the same chemicals, but they usually produce them in extremely similar– if not identical– processes.

The fungi is clearly benefitting from producing psilocybin in some way.

Y'know, aside from bringing us Double Rainbow Euphoria bro, may he RIP.

Say for the sake of argument that it aids spore dispersal. Actually, utulizing Double Rainbow Euphoria bro makes a lot of sense.

But I digress.

Either way, long ago a path diverged in a wood– and those two paths essentially ended up devising novel ways of being the same path.

WITH NO DISCERNIBLE DIFFERENCE IN TIME OR DIFFICULTY.

SERIOUSLY, WHO DOES THAT KIND OF S**T ON A PUBLIC NATURE TRAIL?!

Different types of magic mushrooms use unique biochemical paths to produce the same active compound

A German-Austrian team led by Friedrich Schiller University Jena and Leibniz-HKI has been able to biochemically demonstrate for the first time that different types of mushrooms produce the same mind-altering active substance, psilocybin, in different ways.

For folks new to the page, welcome!

We have a lot of searchable content and are adding more daily (oh, do I have a backlog!)

We also have content on our YouTube channel, including full-length hikes for the less mobile!

If you'd like to see a specific topic covered– or more info on a topic already covered– just ask!

Again, welcome to the page!

My goal is to present materials suited for everyone–from any and all backgrounds, novices on up–all in a judgement free environment. Drawing on nearly a lifetime of experience, I take you along on my angling and other outdoor excursions, give rundowns on angling and wilderness survival technique...

We took a new path that was advanced difficulty– it was almost entirely altitude changes and new (to us) habitat. We were rewarded with a ton of new species. As a matter of fact, I'm going to have to split up the posts!
