Examples of psychoactive substances include&nbsp;<strong><em><strong><em>alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, marijuana,<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;and certain pain medicines.&nbsp;<strong>Psilocybin<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>is a<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>hallucinogenic chemical in certain mushrooms known as magic mushrooms.<\/strong>&nbsp;Eating mushrooms that contain psilocybin can have a variety of effects, ranging from euphoria to hallucinations. Individuals use psilocybin as a recreational drug. It can provide feelings of euphoria and sensory distortion that are common to hallucinogenic drugs, such as&nbsp;LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recently, an increasing number of&nbsp;mushrooms have&nbsp;been found to&nbsp;<strong>contain insecticidal<\/strong>&nbsp;compounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by living organisms.&nbsp;<strong>Panellus stipticus<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>is one of the brightest-glowing bioluminescent mushrooms on Earth.&nbsp;<\/strong>These flat fungi, which look like a collection of tiny fans growing on sticks, are a dull shade of yellow-beige during the day, but they transform into dazzling decorations after dark. A mushroom documentation project in the forests of Northeast India has revealed not only 600 varieties of fungi<strong>, but also led to a new discovery: a bioluminescent or light emitting variety of mushroom<\/strong>.
