Your Mind Improved On Mushrooms
Let’s Explore How Psilocybin Mushrooms Bridge The Gap Between Your Mind & The Universe
There is a fascinating & seemingly cosmic, aspect of mushrooms. 🍄🟫
One that transcends mere edible treats or ecological drivers.
Some mushrooms contain molecules that are structurally similar to Neurotransmitters found in Our 🧠Brains, creating a bridge between the human mind & the natural world.
Think of this… We connect our 📱devices to a 🛜WiFi or Cellular network to access a whole universe of information & all the things We can tap into via the internet. Well… it’s as if Psilocybin Mushrooms in particular, offer an unseen link to the universe & things not normally accessed until paired to some type of Technology(Like 🛜WiFi), connecting individuals to the cosmos through mind-expanding experiences.
So what is the extraordinary relationship between mushrooms & human consciousness❓
There’s The Chemical Connection
At the heart of this cosmic connection are certain molecules found in Psilocybin🍄🟫Mushrooms. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring Tryptamine.
Tryptamines are a class of compounds that include several naturally occurring substances, such as Serotonin; a Neurotransmitter, & other psychedelics like DMT (DimethylTryptamine) & 5-MeO-DMT.
When ingested, Psilocybin is converted into Psilocin & has a profound impact on the 🧠brain…
Which is when, why, & how We “Trip”❗️
Quick side tangent 👇🏽
I’ve always gotten such a kick out of the fact that the type of chemical compound that Psilocybin is, is named a “Tryptamine” & We call it “Trip’n”.
This was a completely coincidental thing❗️
Neither was derived from the other & came to be completely independent of each other… Even though the term “Trip” refers to the journey You embark upon… I can’t help but to notice how applicable it seems.
Ok
Back to the matter at hand
Then There Is The Relationship With The Neurotransmitter Mimicry
The remarkable aspect of Psilocybin is its structural similarity to Serotonin. Serotonin plays a crucial role in regulating mood, emotions, & various cognitive functions in the 🧠Brain.
Psilocin, once it enters the 🧠Brain, binds to Serotonin receptors, leading to alterations in perception, mood, & consciousness. This Neurotransmitter mimicry is at the core of the mind-expanding experiences associated with Psilocybin Mushrooms.
“Altered States Of Consciousness”
Mystical & Mind-Expanding Experiences
Consuming Psilocybin Mushrooms often leads to profoundly altered states of consciousness. People report a wide range of sensations, from enhanced perception & sensory distortion to vivid visual experiences & deep introspection. These experiences have been described as feeling interconnected with the universe, leading to a sense of unity with all things, a profound connection to nature, & even spiritual insights.
I for one would say these things are positively life changing & I’m not the only one with this viewpoint.
Influence
Historical & Cultural Significance
The use of Psychedelic Mushrooms in various cultural & spiritual contexts dates back millennia. Cultures around the globe have long incorporated these Mushrooms & other psychedelics into their rituals & ceremonies for healing, divination, & spiritual exploration.
& Don’t even get Me started right now about the Amanita🍄 shaping the picture of the Christmas You know & love. I have a whole breakdown for You another time on…

It Goes Back Further Than You Probably Think
Research & Medicine
There has been a recent resurgence of interest in the potential therapeutic applications of Psychedelics in general & in particular Psilocybin Mushrooms as a healing modality.
However, not even going into ancient times… but in modern times there was early research done & insights were gained… really You could say over 100 years ago now❗️
I’ll have to do a whole thing just on that, but we’ve had MDA(predecessor to MDMA) since 1912 & I believe it was being used in counseling by 1914. We started to have an understanding of LSD as early as 1942-43 from Albert Hofmann. & We have had an understanding about the healing properties of Psilocybin Mushrooms since the 50’s when We were introduced to a little old lady named María Sabina.(I have break downs that I have shared or will share on all The Alumni We owe a lot to. 🔥)
So We have ample research that shows Psilocybin & other psychedelics benefits in treating mental health conditions like Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, & End Of Life Anxiety. Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy(PAT) is being used as a promising approach to healing & personal growth.
The easiest & first place to look is The John’s Hopkins University’s Psychedelic Research Unit for the work done in Our modern time.

Some Things To Consider
The use of Psilocybin Mushrooms is not without risks, & responsible & insightful usage is of course highly recommended.
I of course am no medical professional, but unless You’re dealing with something like schizophrenia or serious bi-polar conditions… psychedelics are the least harmful way of approaching treatment resistant & persistent depression & so many other predicaments.
Clinical supervision when exploring the mind-expanding properties of these Mushrooms is available, however not a necessary obligation in order to Benefit.
If You have partaken… You know like I did. Even at first eating shroomies recreationally, I just got that these things were like no other drugs I’ve done for fun.
As a teenager I had no clear idea of why… but I knew 2 things for sure at an early age:
I was happier after & for weeks sometimes❗️
I’ve dealt with depression My whole life & eating mushrooms from time to time makes that different. Straight Up.
I wanted to be a nicer person after eating them.
It’s kind of cool having things confirmed that You’ve known all along. Check out Paul Stamets going on about this in particular here 👇🏽 If You don’t know Him… He’s basically Our Mushroom Moses, Leading Us to new & exciting things with Fungi.
Be Autodidact & Educate Yourself.
Do not let the GateKeepers succeed in keeping You away from Your health❗️
We Others have compiled so much info about the wholesome & responsible use of Psychedelics.
You need look no further after coming across someone like Me❗️
I have & will continue to create, compile, & disseminate Mushroom & Psychedelic information.
The connection between Mushrooms & The Mind is a subject of exploration & fascination. The structural similarity between Psilocybin & the 🧠Brain’s Neurotransmitters opens doors to experiences that bridge the gap between the individual & the cosmos. Whether for spiritual insights, therapeutic applications, or personal growth, Psilocybin Mushrooms have the potential to offer transformative experiences that heal Us & make Us better than We were before.
As research & understanding of these substances continue to evolve, they will continue to shape the way we perceive & interact with the universe & Our own consciousness.
