Psilocybin is a psychoactive compound that is found naturally in wild-grown fungi. The compound provides its user a variety of experiences, which include, hallucinations, mystical-type experiences, along with other therapeutic effects. Psilocybin is more commonly referred to as “magic mushrooms” because psilocybin is contained naturally within the mushroom. More than 180 species of mushrooms contain psilocybin or its derivative psilocin.
