Danish Researchers Discover Novel Way of Making Psilocybin from Kitchen Ingredient
Just as the immense potential of psilocybin is being recognized and accepted by the scientific community, researchers are already hard at work looking for new ways of making the chemical without having to rely on growing magic mushrooms on a large scale. To this end, a team of Danish researchers appears to have found an easy way to make this chemical by using yeast. The DTU Biosustain scientists discovered that a common species of yeast used in winemaking, brewing and baking can act as a host for psilocybin when this yeast is subjected to a process that the researchers refer…
