Deep gratitude to MAPS and Rick Doblin, Ph.D., of MAPS for hosting an extraordinary convergence of minds at Psychedelic Science in Denver. It was an honor to contribute to this historic gathering uniting researchers, clinicians, activists, and myconauts alike, all committed to advancing the

Two newly discovered fungal species, Paleoophiocordyceps gerontoformicae and Paleoophiocordyceps ironomyiae, have been identified in 99-million-year-old Burmese amber. These ancient entomopathogenic fungi, closely related to the modern genus Ophiocordyceps, were found infecting

Grateful to rejoin Joe Rogan for another mind-expanding conversation, this time exploring my new book, AI, viral pandemics (from bees to humans), and how mushrooms and mycelium tie us all together. We touched on science, consciousness, and the urgent need to cultivate a culture

Could psilocybin could become a monthly neurotropic at high doses and/or a near-daily neurotropic vitamin at low doses? So exciting for this to be further explored. Will the U.S. government fund research? I hope so! Read more about this study: nature.com/articles/s4151…

Entoloma serrulata, Mycena amicta, and Hypholoma dispersum (pictured here) are among the most common look-alikes of the psilocybin species and are what I like to call, the tricksters. Many of the tricksters are also indicator species, meaning they often grow in proximity to
