Mazin claimed that mushrooms and other fungi might theoretically infect humans, but added, “It’s true – it’s real to the extent that what he says about fungi happens,” Mazin told the media. “And they’ve been doing it for a long time. Some amazing documentaries may be incredibly unsettling. Now, his concern — what if they evolve and infiltrate humans? — from a scientific sense, would they do to us exactly what they do to ants? No, I don’t think so. I have my reservations. He is, however, true in that LSD and psilocybin are produced from fungus. ‘In this circumstance, what we’re doing is persuading people that this has always been here,’ I said to John.”
