We should live in Shroom world, everybody will be connected by the mycelium, live long and prosper together.
Yes... let the cordyceps eat your brain... become one with the omnifungi... let our will become yours... listen to the mold as it whispers in your mind...
🤷♂️
Okay, sure, why not
Eh, beats fascism.
I am the Globglogabgalab
WE ARE THE ONE!
Did you drop this? /s
You're making it sound pretty damn amazing, frankly. Have you looked around lately? 😅😶🌫️

There is already fungi that grows in your throat. Humans are connected to the mycelium - the most advanced lifeform on this planet.
Forgive me for doubting any studies that don’t involve blinded trials… but this is just one study. Let’s see if it can be replicated before we get excited
A newly published study in Nature Partner Journals’ Aging demonstrates that psilocin, a byproduct of consuming psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms,
Maybe my memory is wrong, but I had it the other way around: Psilocin is the active substance, but its not very stable. Psilocybin gets metabolized to Psilocin. Calling it a "byproduct" is kind of underselling it. Psilocybin itself isn't active by itself.
Quick wiki check confirms this. I always have troubles with articles opening with. I can't even read that as unfortunate wording.
Results indicated that the mice that received an initial low dose of psilocybin of 5 mg/kg, followed by a monthly high dose of 15 mg/kg for 10 months, had a 30% increase in survival compared to mice who hadn’t received any.
So if we take a standard 80 kg adult male, 80 * 15 mg = 1.2 g, which sources indicate is enough for a standard trip. That's also like almost half an ounce of dried mushrooms. Time to start tripping... for science.
HOLY SHIT IM GONNA LIVE FOREVER
Well, I know I've done mushrooms a few times, and as of a CT scan at the age of 27, apparently my brain isn't showing the ordinary signs of aging. Wonder if it's related.
Idc, I'll just die old, no one's ever gonna get me to willingly take hallucinogens
Go ahead and hit me with the
, don't care if that's an L take or notYou do you. Have fun!
no healthy adult should feel the need to take any drug
Need? Of course not. Desire? Certainly.
Nuh uh. I've seen the Last of US. We all know where this ends up
Wake me up when once there are results of a well-designed clinical trial.
My understanding of the article is they're extrapolating from experiments on mice and on a few human cells in a lab.
