FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT – JULY 28: Psilocybin mushrooms await harvest in a humidified “fruiting room” in the basement of a private home in Fairfield County, Connecticut, on July 28, 2023. Recent studies suggest that psilocybin mushrooms, also known as “magic mushrooms,” may be effective in treating anxiety, anorexia, depression, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and various substance abuse disorders. Scientists say psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, or rewiring of the brain, giving patients a new perspective on long-standing mental illnesses. Psilocybin is classified as a Schedule 1 substance in the United States and is illegal under federal law, but many municipalities across the U.S. and the state of Colorado have moved to decriminalize psilocybin locally. Oregon has legalized the use of mushrooms by adults; they must now be administered within regulated “psilocybin service centers.” (Photo: John Moore/Getty Images)
