Psilocybin, which is found in 200 species of fungi, has mind altering effects which have been harnessed by humans for years. The reasons for experimenting with mushrooms can be varied, from curing anxiety to treating depression or to explore your spirituality. Find out which stars like Prince Harry who used shrooms as a coping mechanism had the trip of a lifetime...

Turns out the ‘Watermelon Sugar’ singer doesn’t just get high off fruit. Harry Styles admitted using mushrooms to tap into his creativity when making his 2019 album ‘Fine Line’. He said: "I felt so safe. It was like, ‘I want to take some mushrooms, I’m going to take some … I don’t think it’s that crazy. I think my thing with with substances is, if you’re taking anything to escape both to try and hide from stuff then you shouldn’t even drink. And if you’re taking anything to have fun and be creative, then great.”

This pop star certainly ‘Can’t Be Tamed’. Miley, who sought out a spiritual healer after losing her beloved pet pooch Floyd, tried ceremonial ayahuasca. She said: "When I was on my trip, all I could focus on was animals. I was puking up different animals - dolphins and seals and giraffes. It’s really crazy. “My dog was lifted out of my lungs and placed on my shoulder. I pet my dog for like three hours." The experience led her to want to try magic mushrooms.

‘The Good Place’ star hasn’t always been in a good frame of mind. Bell, who has struggled with depression and anxiety throughout her life, became interested in the healing properties of shrooms. She said: "There are aspects to those two particular substances that the places you can go in your brain are much deeper and more healing than anything else. “In my head, I had separated this body that had done so much good in my life, that has taken me through happiness and pain and workouts and laziness. I couldn’t stop touching my legs and go, ‘You’re so strong. You’re so elegant.'"

The former world heavyweight champion has been battling with his inner demons and his rage issues throughout his entire life. ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ used shrooms to try and find inner peace and they changed his life. He said: "Everyone thought I was crazy, I bit this guy’s ear off … I did all this stuff, and once I got introduced to the shrooms … my whole life changed. “To think where I was ... to this now. Isn’t life a trip, man? It’s amazing medicine, and people don’t look at it from that perspective.”

McCartney and his Beatles bandmates experimented with substances in the 1960s to expand their musical horizons. McCartney took DMT (dimethryptamine) - which become popular in the late 1960s due to having similar but faster acting affects than drugs like acid - as well as shrooms.

The ‘Pineapple Express’ star says his experiences with magic mushrooms have been “very insightful” having experienced ego death over 25 times. His experiences with mushrooms have even led him to make some life changing decisions. He said: "I did shrooms and then quit a job the next day. So yeah, I’ve made some real-life decisions as a result.”

It seems as though the late ‘Star Wars’ actress experienced “a galaxy far, far away” off set too. She said: "I had a lot of fun on mushrooms and all that stuff. It was a part of my life when I was very young."

The Duke of Sussex revealed his new book 'Spare' that he ate mushroom chocolates whilst staying at Courteney Cox's house. He said: “Beside the toilet was a round silver bin, the kind with a foot pedal to open the lid. I stared at the bin. It stared back. Then it became... a head. “I stepped on the pedal and the head opened its mouth. A huge open grin. “I laughed, turned away, took a p***. Now the loo became a head too. “The bowl was its gaping maw, the hinges of the seat were its piercing silver eyes. It said, ‘Aaah.'"

The ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ actor recalled his “amazing experiences” whilst tripping out. He said: "Look, I’m not in any way advocating young people do it, but I have had amazing experiences with mushrooms. I’ve always done it in a kind of ritualistic way, out in nature. It really can be a spiritual thing.”

Kacey Musgraves experienced a lot of sadness when going through her divorce to singer/songwriter Ruston Kelly. Kacey tried shrooms in order to “transform my trauma and my pain into something else". The singer - who struggled with anxiety, depression and addiction in the past – was able to channel her suffering into art. She said: "It was completely life-changing in so many ways, but it also triggered this whole big bang of not only the album title but the song 'Star-Crossed' and the concept, you know, me looking into the structure of tragedies themselves as an art form throughout time.”
