I did not realize just how many different kind of mushrooms produce that chemical. All over order Agaricales.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom

So what's weird is that Massopora isn't even in the same division as Agaricales. They're both fungi. So what does that mean? That the classification is wrong, convergeant evolution, or fungi have been making drugs for an insanely long time?
