ABSTRACT Psilocybin, an indole alkaloid of psychedelic mushrooms, has the potential to sustainably improve the treatment of several psychiatric diseases. So far, the psilocybin demand for clinical trials has been met by chemical synthesis. In this study, we pursued the biotechnological approach to develop a psilocybin production process utilizing an overproduction strain of Aspergillus nidulans...
