https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cicadas-zombies-hyper-sexual-sexually-transmitted-fungus-expected-to-emerge-this-year-massospora-cicadina/
Neither of these links state psilocybin is in the fungus.
Actually you're right, but I found a better source: https://www.science.org/content/article/psychedelic-keeps-cicada-flying-even-after-fungus-has-destroyed-its-abdomen
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/375105v1
From your second link:
It appears that the two chemicals come from two different fungi. Or I could be misinterpreting that.
Edit: PS. I appreciate all of the content that you post. I just thought this was an interesting subject.
No worries. I am half distracted tonight :)
There we are. Thank you for your diligence!
