"Psychedelic mushroom" is also called "magic mushroom", and its psychedelic ingredients are mainly made of a poisonous fungus "poisonous fly umbrella", which is similar to ordinary mushrooms. Psychedelic mushrooms have thick stems and long and small tops. Some places are processed into powder to eat, which tastes bitter and makes people nervous and hallucinate, hence the name. If ingested in large doses, it will seriously endanger your health. It is listed as a second-class drug for preventing and treating drug hazards.

"Poison fly umbrella" is a kind of poisonous mushroom, which contains components similar to psychedelic drugs that stimulate sympathetic nerves, and will cause many hallucinations after taking it. The ingredients of "psychedelic mushrooms" mainly contain two internationally banned chemical components, namely dimethyltetrahydroxytryptamine and dimethyltetrahydroxytryptamine phosphate, which may make users hallucinate.

Extended data:

For a long time, people think that the illusion caused by psychedelic mushrooms is just a small trick to make a small number of people feel happy, and sometimes it may be a fatal big trick. Recently, however, the team of Imperial College London David Nutter in London, England, published an article in the medical journal The Lancet Psychiatry, pointing out that these "tricks" may have the potential to cure diseases and save lives.

Studies have shown that psychedelic mushrooms contain a "toxin" called gymnosperm essence, which can inhibit some pessimistic and negative thoughts in the brain.

To verify the effect of psychedelic mushrooms, David's team recruited 12 patients, including six males and six females. They have a history of depression for nearly 20 years on average, and have tried more than five methods to treat depression, but all of them have no effect.

David's experiment proved that among the 12 patients who participated in the experiment, 8 patients had their depressive symptoms improved after taking the gymnoscentin component contained in psychedelic mushrooms.

Compared with traditional treatment methods, the highest success rate is only 20%, and this ingredient of psychedelic mushrooms can be described as a "panacea" for treating depression.
