The Mushroom Show

Could growing mushrooms be as easy as blasting the woods with liquid spores from a super soaker? In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we delve into the idea of "guerilla mushroom gardening", including how successful it can be and why anyone would do it in the first place. We also cover the recent bankruptcy of Synthesis Institute and its impact on the Oregon Psilocybin Movement. This episode also includes a great conversation with Kyle Buller from Psychedelics Today about training psilocybin therapists and the state of psilocybin worldwide.

Lion's Mane is known as a powerful natural nootropic used for memory, mood and cognition, but it is still a mystery as to exactly how it works. In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we break down new research that has revealed compounds which might be responsible for the growth and protection of neurons. We also dig into how mushrooms might be the ONLY non-animal source of an essential nutrient, and discuss new regulations for psilocybin therapy in Australia.

Amanita muscaria is one of the most iconic mushrooms of all time, but we still don't really know much about it. In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we explore the potential therapeutic benefits of Fly Agaric (aka Amanita muscaria), specifically how it might be useful for relaxation and sleep. We also touch on two pieces of mushroom news, including the shocking story of a guy who injected "magic mushroom tea" into his veins, and how the world's deadliest mushroom has found a new way to reproduce, helping it spread across the US at a much faster pace.

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.

In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we test 4 different types of mushroom jerky (so you don't have to) and figure out which mushroom makes the best one. The answer might surprise you. We also cover everthing you need to know about the growing trend of "psilocybin retreats", what they're like, how people are benefitting from them, and what's the reason behind the increased popularity in recent years. Finally, we interview Justin Townsend, the head facilitator and CEO of MycoMeditations, a long standing psilocybin retreat in Jamaica.

In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we head out into the frozen woods to find, harvest and extract wild Chaga (aka The "King" of Functional Mushrooms). We also cover how functional mushrooms can benefit our gut (including and interview with Dr. Jonathan Fields), and discuss the recent shutdown of a number of mushroom dispensaries, Oregon's Measure 109, and potential issues surrounding access to psilocybin.

Bios:
Rashad Evans
UFC Champion. A former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Rashad knows a thing or two about the connection between mind and body, and the importance of having both in sync. He credits mushrooms for that one-two punch of focus + energy in training and competition, and then easing the transition from fighter to “just getting back to being me.” Rashad is passionate about transforming sports nutrition and transforming access to education so that others can have the same opportunities that he did.

Del Jolly
Advocate & Educator. Focused on shifting the cultural narrative, Del worked as part of Decriminalize Denver and Charlotte’s Web CBD before co-founding Unlimited Sciences, a psychedelic research nonprofit partnered with the likes of Johns Hopkins University. He believes functional mushrooms have just as much, if not more, potential than psychedelics and is committed to exploring and unearthing everything we can.
