Why can’t/doesn’t LSD occur naturally

LSD can only be synthesized, and while I have no interest in learning how it’s made I can’t find a source that can tell me why it can’t occur on Earth without human intervention

In order for such advanced organic molecule to occur naturally it needs to be made by some sort of protein made by a living organism. As it just happens no organism makes the exact LSD molecule. There are several fungus and seeds that have the precursor to LSD but is missing the last step in the process.
