Sheldrake: I found the effects of LSD very helpful in allowing me to approach questions from new angles and imagine the relationships between plant and fungus from different points of view.ĭER SPIEGEL: You attribute cognitive abilities to fungi. Each participant had to name a problem they were currently working on and, under the influence of LSD, we were to try to solve that problem. Among other things, it was to be examined whether LSD promotes creativity. But both substances have similar effects. Sheldrake: Yes, though it was LSD tested in that study. Once you know that this forest exists, it is much easier to find your way into it.ĭER SPIEGEL: You even took part in a scientific study. It was as if I had spent my life in a garden until then, and now I suddenly discovered that this garden has a gate through which I can enter a strange and wonderful forest, that was largely unknown to me.ĭER SPIEGEL: Does the gate disappear once the effects of psilocybin fade away? Sheldrake: Yes, under their influence I realized that most of my consciousness was unknown to me. Does psilocybin change the behavior of certain insects in a way that induces them to spread fungal spores? Or do they change the behavior of insects in a way that deters them from eating the mushrooms?ĭER SPIEGEL: Have you personally tried the effects of psychedelic mushrooms? But the receptors that this substance binds to can also be found in many animals. The first mushrooms to make psilocybin lived 75 million years ago, long before humans arose. How do mushrooms benefit from making psychedelic drugs for humans?
