	Psilocybin is a naturally occurring, tryptamine alkaloid and psychedelic secondary metabolite that is a prodrug compound produced by more than 200 species of fungi. Chemically, it is the main alkaloid present in [[psilocybin ~~mushrooms~~]]. It is a substituted tryptamine that features an indole ring linked to an aminoethyl substituent. It is structurally similar to serotonin. Psilocybin is a member of the general class of tryptophan-based compounds that originally functioned as antioxidants in earlier life forms before assuming more complex functions in multicellular organisms, including humans.
