Psilocybin mushrooms [a] are a type of entheogenic, psychedelic, hallucinogenic mushroom and a polyphyletic informal group of fungi that contain the prodrug psilocybin.
Humans can grow this fungi?
Psilocybin is metabolized into the psychedelic compound psilocin following ingestion [2].
Rather than referring to one single mushroom species, the term "psilocybin mushroom" refers to a broad group of fungi found across several genera [3].
Other compounds such as baeocystin, norbaeocystin, aeruginascin, and Ξ²-carbolines may modulate effects.
The most potent species are members of genus Psilocybe, such as P. azurescens, P. semilanceata, and P. cyanescens, but psilocybin has also been isolated from approximately a dozen other genera, including Panaeolus (including Copelandia), Inocybe, Pluteus, Gymnopilus, and Pholiotina [2]. More

If these beings are real — science is over. Every time someone smokes DMT, that person meets the same thing: "machine elves," DMT entities. What are they? They are hyperdimensional beings who laugh, welcome you, trick you, and teach you. Who are they? And why do they act like they’ve known visitors forever?
π This video rewires how we understand consciousness, intelligence, and the mind. In this rare, mind-bending interview, Dr. Andrew Gallimore — computational neurobiologist and the author of Alien Information Theory — breaks down the DMT entity mystery in full.
This is not fringe speculation. It is a direct challenge to neuroscience, physics, and the very Jungian idea of a "collective unconscious."
Dr. Andrew Gallimore is a computational neurobiologist, chemist, and author of Alien Information Theory. He has spent over 20 years studying how psychedelic (entheogenic) experiences — especially on DMT — interface with the structure of our reality, the unconscious mind, and the possible existence of non-human intelligences.
He is considered one of today’s leading experts on DMT, altered states, and the neuroscience of visionary experience.
TREES, PEOPLE, AND PLANET: Paul Stamets started Fungi Perfecti® with the goal of building the bridge between people and fungi. Since its inception in 1980, Fungi Perfecti has become synonymous with cutting-edge mycological research and solutions. Its continued mission is to explore, study, preserve, and spread knowledge about the use of fungi for helping people and planet.
What is MYCELIUM? One of the most significant outcomes of research has been discovering the value of mushroom mycelium, the metabolically active and longest living structure of the mushroom (fungal) organism. It contains numerous novel compounds shown to benefit human health. Years of industry-based research, along with both internal and third-party testing, demonstrate that mycelium-based supplements offer significant immunological support.* More

Forget "Amoeba." WELCOME TO REALITY: Blood so deep the horse must hold his head up high/ In the valley of decision one third of the world will die/ Beat your hoes and plows into axes and spears/ As the armies meet in a battle they predicted for years// (CHORUS) Let the weak say I'm a warrior/ Bring down the warriors/ Let the faithless regain faith/ Your faith is hopeless// The prophets and the psychics and the military agree/ Continual crisis leads us straight to World War III/ Roll out the red carpet let the Angel of Death ride in/ To the valley of decision let the mayhem begin// (CHORUS)// Apocalyptic madness two thirds of the world in sadness/ The other third is gone but sadness lingers on/ Crumbled cities and an aftermath of hate/ No way to stop them 'cause now its too late/ The Antichrist's mission's done/ The dead are the only lucky ones/ Are you ready?/ The picture's painted/ For the valley - the scene is set/ Of decision - make your decision/ For the valley it's too late/ Welcome welcome to reality/ Welcome welcome to reality/ Make a decision cause you've got no choice
The Festival takes place across multiple venues on Figueroa St. and beyond — The Lodge Room, Oblivion, Highland Park Ebell, Cheerio Collective, De La Playa Records, Blind Barber, North Figueroa Books, and a few pop ups and buskers. All Arroyo Secodelic shows are ALL AGES.

In Bear Awareness, Ajahn Brahm answers meditators’ questions, actual questions from students of meditation––questions readers may have wondered about as well.
While most satior mindfulness meditation teachers praise the benefits of "bare awareness," Ajahn Brahm teaches bear awareness.
He helps us make friends with the scary things that come up on the cushion, and he shows how to lift the mood with a well-placed stuffed teddy or a well-timed pun.
The intimacy of the question-and-answer format provides a fresh experience of learning from a Western master meditator who studied with the awakened Thai master Ajahn Chah.
Whether he is urging readers to fly Buddha Air (as we sit back and relax on our way to nirvana), giving tips for dealing with panic attacks or depression, or extolling the bliss (piti) of meditation that is better than sex, he gives us permission to enjoy our lives and our practice. More
