Treasure of magic mushrooms: Paul Stamets
The Treasure Called the Psilocybes
(SAND, Science and Nonduality, 11/22/19) In the second half of an extended talk at SAND 18, mushroom expert Paul Stamets -- author, mycologist, medical researcher, and entrepreneur -- tells stories of the early years of research into psychoactive mushrooms.
"Magic" Psilocybe semilanceata in the field
He describes a number of species and their characteristics, in particular psilocybes. He then surveys, and shows short films about, recent research into the therapeutic use of psilocybin, including micro-dosing.
Stamets ends by introducing a number of lesser known fungus species and makes the case for acknowledging their value, for medicine and humanity as a whole.
