“Pendell's corner

The mushroom carries the prodrug; the body carries the active. Psilocybin is dephosphorylated to psilocin within minutes of ingestion, and what crosses into the brain is the simpler molecule. The pathway is brief and reliable — a small mercy of pharmacology, that the chemistry on the way in is exactly what the genus expected.
