Maybe don’t share random unverified information in the first place for the sake of community safety and responsibility.
No studied psilocybe species contains any dangerous amount of secondary toxins so far, but there are dozens of species that haven’t been tested thoroughly or specifically for secondary toxins, and we’re discovering new psilocybe species all the time, so sticking with the species we do know only contain psilocybin and psilocin is a lot safer then assuming anything about such a vast and growing group of fungi, especially when misidentification is so simple.
Haha, yeah but the disclaimer should go at the top.
I agree mushrooms are amazing. I’m pretty interested in how we’re going to take advantage of the material properties of mushrooms, seems like you can make pretty sturdy construction materials from them，woven fibers, styrofoam. I remember reading someone was working a mycoplastic, leather, tons of biomaterials.

Heh. I did put a huge disclaimer in my post. Thanks for further clarifying the issue though, its appreciated. Mushrooms are pretty fascinating.
