#psilocybe — Public Fediverse posts

“The timing and divergence dates of #Psilocybe coincide with the KPg boundary, the geological marker of the asteroid that threw Earth into a brutal, prolonged winter and killed 80% of all life. Two lifeforms that thrived during the darkness and decay were fungi and terrestrial gastropods… it’s possible that #psilocybin evolved as a slug deterrent."
