Are Psilocybe mushrooms Anti-Viral or is this a myth?

Psilocybin is an antibiotic I think..so it makes sense..I know cacti is anti viral..and ayahuasca..mushrooms probly are as well.

are you sure caapi and cacti are antiviral? you have any source for that? What I do remember is ayahuasca's anti-parasitic effects, but whether they are anti-viral or not I dont know.

I would be careful, though, with these kind of claims people make, wade... Even if there was demonstrated some kind of anti-viral activity of psilocybin/cin in the lab in a specific situation (just supposing, because maybe its not true), still this wouldnt necessarily mean that taking mushrooms will kill any bad virus you have.. So if you have a nasty dangerous viral infection, please go to a doctor, dont just sit and home and take mushrooms Very happy

Though considering there is no negative pharmaceutical interaction with whatever treatment you are getting, depending on the viral infection, I guess one could try it as supplementary treatment, but knowing that tripping while being sick might not be the best set and setting Pleased

This is why im asking you all if you had heard this or if you have any sources because I cant find anything to back the claims
