ZUnit Posted May 15, 2024 Report Posted May 15, 2024 If you enjoy learning about mushrooms then check out the new and old Paul Stamets episodes on the Joe Rogan Experience. I really enjoyed all of them as I am a mycophile. The new one was super interesting actually because he is working with the government to make a natural COVID vaccine (enhancer) from mushrooms. He also talked about how you can collect a hundred of the same species and they all can having varying amounts of compounds in them. Possibly even different compounds. I think this is called phenotypes or kinda like subspecies. I need to re-watch it but I think he said there could be an Amanita Muscaria with psilocybin in it. Check it out! Quote

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve heard a lot about Paul Stamets' appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience too, and they really dive into some fascinating topics about mushrooms and their potential. In his more recent episode, Stamets did indeed talk about his work related to creating a mushroom-based COVID vaccine enhancer, which is mind-blowing! His deep knowledge of mycology covers everything from the medicinal benefits of fungi to their environmental impact.He also explores the idea that even within the same species, mushrooms can exhibit different traits—what you're describing sounds like phenotypic variation, where different environmental factors can cause mushrooms to develop varying levels of compounds like psilocybin. His claim about a potential Amanita Muscaria with psilocybin is really intriguing, as traditionally that species contains different psychoactive compounds like muscimol. Quote
