DMT ---> 4-HO-DMT?

I was comparing molecules on erowid, and I noticed that psilocin's only difference from DMT was the hydroxyl group attached to it. Would would it be possible to hydroxylate DMT, directly or indirectly, into psilocin?

First think about getting regeant grade DMT, after think about it. Second the only good way I think is to use mushrooms (which according to http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/24373 is not a good way due to the inhibition created)

I don't really plan to do it, I'm just curious. I just want to know if it's possible, I don't really care about getting it. But I don't think it is from what I've looked at so far. Seems like you have to start with a simpler molecule.
