The Mushroom Show - The Best Mushroom Jerky and Psilocybin Retreats

The Best Mushroom Jerky and Psilocybin Retreats

01/10/23 • 43 min

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.

Do All Magic Mushrooms Have The Same Effect? (The Mushroom Show EP 5)

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.
