Mushrooms in our country have a history of different types of consumption.

Whether medicinal, recreational, or therapeutic, understanding the positive and negative consequences for people's quality of life is an ongoing, community-based research project.

Carlos Damin, a toxicology specialist and director of the Fernández Hospital, explains that their hallucinogenic effect "works on one of the neurotransmission pathways, that of serotonin."

"They began to impact me from a very deep place after taking psilocybin," says Adriana Funaro. But what is this compound?

Psilocybin, as Antonio Castsigyanis describes it, is "a key very similar to serotonin."

Its medicinal use is present in conditions such as autism, eating disorders, and therapeutics, among others.

Physician Cecilia San Martin comments that adaptogenic mushrooms can be used in very severe cases of autism.

And there is a huge variety of mushrooms that do not contain psilocybin and are used medicinally, like all adaptogens, according to Luis Osler, lawyer and president of CAINCCA.

"They are substances that help us adapt to the different types of stress the body experiences."

However, all their use is illegal and is governed by the narcotics law.

What is being researched? Is there scientific validation? What are their effects and how do the treatments work?
