Mushrooms are chemical factories, and psilocybin mushrooms are particularly good at creating compounds that can interact with our brains and alter perception. But are their other compounds that can cause different effects? Psilocybin gets all the headlines, but there is also psilocin, baeocystin, norbaeocystin and aeruginascin that might all play a role in the mushroom experience through the entourage effect. Andrew Gallimore, a neurobiologist, pharmacologist, chemist and writer joins us on The Mushroom Show to break it all down. We also chat about Cordyceps fungus and whether or not it could cause a zombie outbreak like The Last Of Us, and the new psilocybin regulations in Alberta Canada.
