Best news images of 2023 FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT - JULY 27: Psilocybin mushrooms stand ready for harvest in a humidified "fruiting chamber" in the basement of a private home on July 27, 2023 in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Recent studies have shown that psilocybin mushrooms, also known as "magic mushrooms" have promise in combating anxiety, anorexia, depression, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and various forms of substance abuse. Scientists say psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, a rewiring of the brain that gives patients fresh perspectives on longstanding psychiatric problems. Although psilocybin is classified in the U.S. as a Schedule 1 substance, making it illegal by federal law, many municipalities throughout the United States, as well as the state of Colorado have moved to decriminalize it locally. Oregon has legalized the adult use of mushrooms, which currently must be administered within regulated "psilocybin service centers." (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images) (John Moore/Getty Images)
