Scientists finally discover how to synthesize magic mushrooms' active ingredient, psilocybin

Yo! Markus, ole buddy, old sod.

My first thought was that Hofmann did it first in the late '50s via the reductive phosphorylation of a DMT analog.

Please, pleez, puh-LEE-uz! use words like biogenesis here instead of synthesis. We c’n handle it. Honest.

Your abiding fan,
Dan, da man.
