Redirected from Philosopher's Stone
The philosopher's stone has appeared in works of fiction, most famously in J. K. Rowling's novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This book appeared in the United States under the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, since the publishers felt that a title referring to the "philosopher's stone" would be too esoteric and dull-sounding to appeal to an audience of American youth.
Philosopher's Stone is one name for the fungus Psilocybe mexicana, also known as the truffle[?]. It is a hallucinogen, like the more well-known Psilocybe cubensis.
