Today, researchers are working hard to investigate the mechanisms of action and possible medicinal applications of psilocybin truffles for various mental disorders.
This is taking place at Johns Hopkins University in the United States, where psilocybin truffles are administered to cancer patients, among others. After a single dose, 80 percent of the patients feels noticeably better mentally. It also appears to have a greater effect on depression than the standard medication used until then.
