This research reveals that magic mushrooms contain many more natural compounds than previously known. By studying the genetic code of different Psilocybe species, scientists discovered these fungi have the potential to produce a wide variety of compounds beyond the well-known psilocybin. This knowledge is important for understanding both therapeutic benefits and potential risks of magic mushrooms. Impacts on everyday life: • Helps explain why different magic mushroom species may have varying effects • Supports development of safer therapeutic applications for depression treatment • Aids in understanding and preventing adverse effects like temporary paralysis • Contributes to more informed policy decisions regarding mushroom use • Enables better emergency medical response to mushroom-related incidents
