I was reading about liberty caps recently and came across this...
Quote:Using standard antimicrobial susceptibility tests, Psilocybe semilanceata was shown to strongly inhibit the growth of the human pathogen methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The source of the antimicrobial activity is unknown.[

On this
MRSA forum there's actually a report of a psilocybe mushroom working to help heal an MRSA sore.
I wonder if this is the case with psilocybes in general or something special about the liberty caps... i do prefer liberty caps myself and feel they bring something else to the experience i can't quite put my finger on.
Other 5-HT2A agonists like LSD and DOI have also been shown to be
anti-inflammatory, so perhaps that is one of the main medicinal qualities of psilocybin mushrooms as well.
Please share any of your knowledge or experiences with psilocybin mushrooms for healing...
