This Innocent Garden Flower Might Be Growing Psychedelic Fungi

Move over magic mushrooms - there’s a new psychedelic partnership in town.
⠀
Recent research has uncovered a fungus living inside morning glory plants that produces a compound similar to LSD. Yes, the plant-fungus duo naturally generates psychoactive compounds known as ergot alkaloids - the same class that inspired breakthroughs in mental health treatments like PTSD and anxiety.
⠀
But before you rush to buy seeds: in places like Australia, morning glory plants and seeds are restricted for this very reason.

Nature’s pharmacy keeps surprising us 🧠
