Science Daily<\/em><\/a>. And now a microbiology student “has found a long sought-after fungus that produces effects similar to the semisynthetic drug…”<\/p>\n
\nMorning glory plants live in symbiosis with fungi that produce the same ergot alkaloids the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann modified when he invented LSD in the late 1930s. Hofmann hypothesized that a fungus in morning glories produced alkaloids similar to those in LSD, but the species remained a mystery… <\/i><\/p>\n
The researchers dubbed the fungus “Periglandula clandestina” for its ability to have eluded investigators for decades.
