Mushrooms:

Study done on miscrodosing with psychoactive mushrooms- good introduction section on what the alleged benefits of micro-dosing are; small, double blind study.

The other Main study done on micro-dosing so far- bigger sample size than the first study linked, and results seem to air more on the positives.

Good basic summary of the microdosing topic from Harvard Health- includes easy-to-read summary of the two studies linked.
