Being the gourmand I am, I had to think about that for a while; but I think I'd have to say "tree mushrooms"; the kind that are jelly-like when cooked. Aesthetically? Probably this species I don't know the name of, but they grow usually on rotting logs or roots, can grow pretty large, and turn a bright orange as they mature. Not your stereotypical stem-and-rounded-cap mushroom, but flat and broad, I think.
Psilocybin mushrooms have definitely had a positive impact on my mental health. They've been really helpful for me in dealing with anxiety and depression.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.

Something about experiencing reality in a way that humans aren't able to by default is fascinating. My first time I got the typical 'We are all one/connected' realization, or in my case, i thought of all life on earth and earth itself as a living creature or Gaia.
When I was tripping on a high dose (to me), I felt like I was dying, I started elevating and seeing my body in the ground and I ascended to the sky thinking I was dead. When I was up there I saw some other souls like mine in the sky and watching humanity from the sky, I saw humans and earth just like a scientist sees bacteria growing, reproducing and dying in their petri plaque. It was craaazy and that caused me an immense existencial crisis that was solved later in the trip. It was the craziest and deepest experience in my life but it was some powerful that I’m not doing it again in many many years
I thought I was experienced with psychedelics, but DMT opened up a whole new plane of reality. In fact, it switched reality to something else that was so weird and alien that my brain really couldn't comprehend.
Learning mycology and growing mushrooms is the most enlightening and enjoyable parts of my life ! I can't believe the journey and I'm excited to keep going and learning 🙌 ❤

The true crown jewel of the magic mushroom kingdom is Panaeolus Cyanescens, most potent mushroom currently known to man and also the most incredibly life changing experience. Far more visual, colorful, joyful, spiritual, and profound, and far less body discomfort. You won't find many people that sell them, really rhe only way is to grow them yourself or pick them wild if you live in a part of the world where they grow naturally. Although cultivated mushrooms seem to be consistently more potent than wild picked, and picking mushrooms can be very dangerous if you aren't experienced and know how to spot potentially dangerous look-alikes.
@@DouglasRyan-ux9cj your pain is physical his is psychological that's 2 different things. you should go to physio therapy, strengthen your backmuscles and not take hallucinogenic drugs. if you got ptsd or depression it can help if overwatched by a speciallist
12:30 I can partially answer your question about why mushrooms are "so hard to grow on purpose". The short answer is, they're not. What's difficult is growing a pure strain of mushroom. I used to work on a mushroom farm that had 3 barns going at all times...2 stories tall. You'd have 1 barn sterilizing, 1 barn growing, and 1 barn harvesting. Then you'd switch. Anyhow, the thing about the mushrooms is, if you're growing them for human consumption, it requires a lot of regulation, a lot of testing of the manure (herbivores with no bad bacteria) , proper sterilization techniques (steam at a very high temperature for days) and sterile millet or other delivery method for the spores. Since the spores are airborne, they need to be affixed to something that can be sown, so you use something like sterile millet (bird seed). The long and short of it is, growing mushrooms is easy, but growing edible mushrooms takes science.
I was reading that growing something like lions mane on a stump or log is a bit easier because no other mushroom looks like it. Dunno if that is true or not.
I love how Chuck is all jokes and then boom He points out that therapeutic use of hallucinogens at time of death is a "phycological pain reliever", So profound! nice one Chuck Great show as ever guys and great guest too.
One of the questioners asked about the level of consciousness in fungi which, if I'm not mistaken, went unanswered. The World Science Festival did a fascinating video about intelligence without brains a few years back. It would be great to know if Bryn had any updates on this topic that didn't make the cut for this episode!

some of the research I've seen covered regarding psychedelic's for treatment of mental conditions suggests that there can be a "reset" effect to either the overall effected neurological system (like shaking the etch-a-sketch) OR that it resets (or otherwise alters) the sensitivity of the receptors.
I've enjoyed Psilocybin in my youth. One of my favourite rides, was back in the late 70s early 80s in the winter during a heavy snowfall with those really big snowflakes, just walked around town for hours watching it snow 😊 I've heard the rumors, but I've never hallucinated. Saw tracers on cars taillights that's the extent of it. I found the high to be similar to taking acid, but without the hangover (gut rot) when coming down. The common side effect i had, was sore jaw muscles from laughing so much. 😊😎
Set n setting. Next chance you get, get good headphones with bass, good long playlist, blankets and a dark room. Take a very large dose and this will be a trip that will transcend the boundaries. :)
Was the acid tabs much better back then? I was born in 88 so I missed the good days for that. Seems like I have had to eat 4-6+ tabs just to get a proper effect. Opinion seems they are often diluted down so much more these days. More worth my time to just harvest and extract my own LSA for conversion. If I go back to that. Morons putting fent into everything these days.
I am very lucky to live near the mushroom capitol of the world: Kennett Square PA. You will find mushroom dishes in all the local restaurants and they are cheap to buy in all the local grocery stores. There is a mushroom festival every year where they line the streets with booths and food trucks and you can sample all the different dishes.
Fascinating episode Guys Bryn was a delight to listen to!I i watched a great video here on youtube about how mushrooms ruled the planet at one time millions/billions of years ago and i gained the utmost respect for these genius plants!! the writers on star trek discovery really went wild with the mycelium network idea through the galaxy as a new form of travel which was very interesting concept, also one of my all time favorite video games has glowing mushrooms in the post apocalyptic wastelands of DC and Boston Fallout you can pick the glowing mushrooms and make a stew with them for a slight increase in Radiation resistance!
Great guest, With some instruction on picking various indigenous herbs, and tidal sea plants, edible and medicinal mushrooms and wild mollusks , I can identify a few things, and you pass on information, to those who politely ask. Its an adventure and workout picking wild products, best done in groups, and taking the rare opportunity of field courses offered. You can easily get lost, and it happens. In the pacific northwest Chantrelles, pines are among the most prized at the same time usually in early fall they flourish there all manner of boletes, lobster mushrooms as well. Lately I have cooked with amanita mushrooms, in small amounts with no effect just a tasty mushroom. One is always experimenting in moderation with wild products. What is deemed safe to consume one year, can be stringent, taste like crap and toxic the next year. Good picking years for mushrooms come in cycles, it seems. Particular high end mushrooms cannot be cultivated. Perhaps in some far off future. No local is going to share that information, or disclose their special patches and secrets

19:21 here, there was a discussion about defense mechanisms that I think deserves more arguments. First, the type : There are more active or passive mechanisms of defense characteristics in the nature. Second, the predators you have: Fungus has evolved from very long time and have tried to protect themselves from large spectrum of species. Human is a tiny part. So if the effect is hallucinatory to us, it may be paralytic for something smaller, like a squirrel. Third, the the timeline: Getting high on mushrooms sitting on a couch is very secure, but think at others Human era. If you are high but a sabre tooth tiger try to get into your cave, you may want to rethink your survival chance eating this. Fourth, the group versus individual: defense mechanisms from plant in fungus are group oriented rather than individuals. For a predator, getting sick(at any level) for eating a couple individual of a group, will be enough if it learn where is pain come from, to not eat that again. Therefore the group is safe. So there a lot of spectrum to think of and get outside our little modern human egocentric live to evaluate the effectiveness of a defense mechanisms :)

I didn't believe the hype and then I took about an eighth first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Changed my life in such a positive way. My ego got out of the way and I found answers to questions I didn't even know I had. Such an enlightening and emotional journey. I was hesitant as I hav/had severe anxiety but once I just let go and let the 🍄 do their thing it was such a warm experience. Highly recommend! Not to be abused
Good for you! And sound advice. They can be fun but they are medicine. They heal. They teach. They are what could heal this world in more ways than just one!!
Mushrooms are very important for the soil, and plants. Mushroom mycelium can stretch for miles under the ground. Mushrooms are the cleaners of the planet.
Fun fact : In France we use dogs to hunt truffles but we also look at truffle flies ! (from wikipedia, faster than translation haha) : Its larvae develop in truffles, a behavior exploited in the search for truffles. The eggs are deposited in the soil above the fruiting bodies, and the emerging larvae dig for the truffles.
I did lsd in mild doses as well as mushroom occasionally (they made me throw up and I got tired of my whole trip being me sitting on the bathroom floor throwing up and watching the towels breathing) but the many experiences I had were always extremely pleasant I'm glad its helping people to have these events help them so much!
I grew up gathering mushrooms of all kinds, my favorites are the shaggymanes/maines, inkycaps. They will pop up through pavement, in round rock under overpasses, the drive thru at jack n the box. I have a big patch in the small lawn at a olive garden where the dishwashers tell me they arnt the mushrooms I want haha. The stems are amazing sautéed in butter.
Chuck is creating so much neuroplasticity in all of us by helping others think outside of the box using humor and science is brilliant! It takes intelligence to understand both.
7ish yrs ago, I stopped being able to consume shelfish. It suddenly started making me very sick. But I only ate 2-3x a year, so I stopped eating it, it wasin't worth the sickness. I don't like mushrooms, so I never eat them. But I got some Shrooms a yr ago (1st time in 7-8 years), & It made me SO SICK!! I even started with a LOW dose, but OMG did I get sick!! My body refused them ENTIRELY!! Then I started checking things out & found out about "Kyten" (spelling?), & when I discovered it is in BOTH mushrooms & shelfish - Everything made sense. There is only 1 way I can get the "effect" without getting sick - by processing ground up mushrooms with 1.5-2.0oz of lemon juice, eventually straining it thru 5 layers of cheese cloth & drinking the lemon juice. It tastes terrible, but works. After an hr of stirring it B4 filtering it, the acid of the lemon juice breaksdown the "Kyten", making it digestible. But it is not a fun way of going about it. Plus it's HARD to get the taste outta yer mouth!! That may be why other people have trouble with mushrooms. My body FORCED it out of me because of the "Kyten.".
hello, I am Maanas pandya a 16-year-old boy and I have a question about quantum entanglement. actually, I have come up with a theory: the 2 electrons that u are observing are at opposite ends of the US (first they need to be near each other) so they do not transmit the energy (information) in a straight line but they synchronize with each other then after there is no communication happening between them can you pls explain me, why it can be true or not?
I cannot explain this to you, but I think it’s fantastic that you are thinking about these questions. Perhaps find a mentor at a university near you with whom you can explore these ideas?
A lot of times when people get sick or throw up from mushrooms is because they’ve not been grown in a sterile environment or they’re not washed. I enjoyed this. Thank you. I appreciate everyone learning from each other and growing together as species ❤
Love Paul Stamens!!! Please find him and have him as your guest!! Incredibly brilliant and wonderful speaker. He did a talk at Stetson that had profound impacts that led a friend to start a large scale mushroom business. He wrote so many wonderful books including how mycelium can save the world! Thank you for having these amazing guests! Chuck you are so damn lucky I want your job!! 😂
Just had my very first experience with shrooms last night and I'm still amazed, the experience was beautiful the images, the peace, the perspectives I was able to see, it still has me thinking about what it all means
If we have fungus inside of our bodies, does taking psilocybin mushrooms affect the fungus inside the body in any way, also do magic mushrooms affect the brain or body in any negative ways?
I have tripped on mushrooms once. I quit drinking alcohol the next day (after trying for years) and have had a much easier time sleeping since. Not saying that it will work for everyone, but I can't over state how much that one experience improved my life.
That GI distress in ayahuasca or dmt is also called purging and considered a part of the process in healing. And its not always puking. IT SEEMS the more you heal, the less your body feels it needs to purge. This is just based on my journey and the people ive had experiences with. You can get to a point where you can sit and be present with it. In the daime church you sing for the whole ritual unless you purge. Its almost like an exercise.
0:59 go somewhere you can relax and see the stars - like a nighttime mushroom picnic- film it- I bet you will have a really nice trip. Extra points if you take a magic carpet to lay on 😂
I have been drinking Four Sigmatic reishi & turkey tail mushroom tea at night before bed for 3 or 4 years now. That paired with magnesium glycinate gives me the best sleeps and the best digestion.
I’ve done aya & yes there’s a puke bucket but there’s many forms of purging & it feels sooooo good (like you are puking out the darkest parts of your soul)! However in the morning you go to clean your bucket and there’s barely anything in there. It’s not that bad! Shrooms and acid can make you feel kind of blah as well….
My favorite mushrooms are sliced in the Green Giant bottle. I tried psilocybin mushrooms once...they made me throw up. And I don't like things that make me throw up and disoriented...
So Johns Hopkins has had MUCH SUCCESS with anxiety and depression with shrooms. Neurologists and osychiatrists have indeed had their interest piqued. Ive also heard claims that psilocybin increases the connections in the corpus callosum between hemispheres. We shall see how this research proceeds, but this isnt simply an "alternative wellness fad" they do have legitimate uses, which are being recognized more and more.
Thanks Neil & Friends that was fantastic! Does worry me the number queries about the hallucinogenic qualities of mushrooms. Stay grounded and get your buzz from discoveries instead.

some of the research I've seen covered regarding psychedelic's for treatment of mental conditions suggests that there can be a "reset" effect to either the overall effected neurological system (like shaking the etch-a-sketch) OR that it resets (or otherwise alters) the sensitivity of the receptors.
We need more Bryn Dentingers.
The algorithm is working. The first ad break was for hello fresh and the first line of the ad was “I have a large mushroom pizza”
😂
How is your brother Chris doing? Or Christopher you know how he is
For me it was Hyunday.
😁
I never saw any ads.
I don't know why but I never see commercials on youtube?
I've enjoyed Psilocybin in my youth.
One of my favourite rides, was back in the late 70s early 80s in the winter during a heavy snowfall with those really big snowflakes, just walked around town for hours watching it snow 😊
I've heard the rumors, but I've never hallucinated. Saw tracers on cars taillights that's the extent of it.
I found the high to be similar to taking acid, but without the hangover (gut rot) when coming down.
The common side effect i had, was sore jaw muscles from laughing so much. 😊😎
Aww snowfall on psychedelics was amazing, riding in a car with snowfall was better than any amusement park ride.
Just think of all the knowledge lost with the desimation of the peoples of North, south and central Americas.
Set n setting. Next chance you get, get good headphones with bass, good long playlist, blankets and a dark room. Take a very large dose and this will be a trip that will transcend the boundaries. :)
Was the acid tabs much better back then? I was born in 88 so I missed the good days for that. Seems like I have had to eat 4-6+ tabs just to get a proper effect. Opinion seems they are often diluted down so much more these days.
More worth my time to just harvest and extract my own LSA for conversion.
If I go back to that. Morons putting fent into everything these days.
I am very lucky to live near the mushroom capitol of the world: Kennett Square PA. You will find mushroom dishes in all the local restaurants and they are cheap to buy in all the local grocery stores. There is a mushroom festival every year where they line the streets with booths and food trucks and you can sample all the different dishes.
Psilocybin insights helped me with my PTSD, lyme disease as well as my addiction to weed.
Fascinating episode Guys Bryn was a delight to listen to!I
i watched a great video here on youtube about how mushrooms ruled the planet at one time millions/billions of years ago and i gained the utmost respect for these genius plants!!
the writers on star trek discovery really went wild with the mycelium network idea through the galaxy as a new form of travel which was very interesting concept,
also one of my all time favorite video games has glowing mushrooms in the post apocalyptic wastelands of DC and Boston Fallout you can pick the glowing mushrooms and make a stew with them for a slight increase in Radiation resistance!
Great guest, With some instruction on picking various indigenous herbs, and tidal sea plants, edible and medicinal mushrooms and wild mollusks , I can identify a few things, and you pass on information, to those who politely ask. Its an adventure and workout picking wild products, best done in groups, and taking the rare opportunity of field courses offered. You can easily get lost, and it happens.
In the pacific northwest Chantrelles, pines are among the most prized at the same time usually in early fall they flourish there all manner of boletes, lobster mushrooms as well.
Lately I have cooked with amanita mushrooms, in small amounts with no effect just a tasty mushroom. One is always experimenting in moderation with wild products. What is deemed safe to consume one year, can be stringent, taste like crap and toxic the next year. Good picking years for mushrooms come in cycles, it seems. Particular high end mushrooms cannot be cultivated. Perhaps in some far off future.
No local is going to share that information, or disclose their special patches and secrets
Neil looks like he's on the nod , Chuck is obviously high af ! So , Doc McShroom seems the only sane serious one.... and we appreciate his paitiently humoring the zany, obviously altered , behavior of his hosts , who start laughing everytime he gets serious (waiting for the previous hilarity to die down) about answering a question ....... sooooo , great episode !! Was a trip , (pun intended) , and seemed like a good time had by all ! Lol
Always blows my mind about the giant (3.5 sq.miles !!!) that is a single entity ! Mind blown !😮
19:21 here, there was a discussion about defense mechanisms that I think deserves more arguments.
First, the type : There are more active or passive mechanisms of defense characteristics in the nature.
Second, the predators you have: Fungus has evolved from very long time and have tried to protect themselves from large spectrum of species. Human is a tiny part. So if the effect is hallucinatory to us, it may be paralytic for something smaller, like a squirrel.
Third, the the timeline: Getting high on mushrooms sitting on a couch is very secure, but think at others Human era. If you are high but a sabre tooth tiger try to get into your cave, you may want to rethink your survival chance eating this.
Fourth, the group versus individual: defense mechanisms from plant in fungus are group oriented rather than individuals. For a predator, getting sick(at any level) for eating a couple individual of a group, will be enough if it learn where is pain come from, to not eat that again. Therefore the group is safe.
So there a lot of spectrum to think of and get outside our little modern human egocentric live to evaluate the effectiveness of a defense mechanisms :)
Great episode. Really should have had someone who's done them on the episode tho. Duncan Trussle would have been awesome
Paul stamits or Rockefeller.
Mr. Tyson. Seriously. You should run for president. I know you have a day job and your passion is educating. But you could do so much for us. I think you would win in a landslide. YOU are my president.
Just want to say we love you Neil. You have done so much good by just being you and setting a great example for all humans alike. 👏🏽
I love mushrooms. I taught myself how to grow them.
You know we are in the wrong timeline when Neil Degrasse Tyson talks about mushrooms more often than Joe Rogan 😭
I didn't believe the hype and then I took about an eighth first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Changed my life in such a positive way. My ego got out of the way and I found answers to questions I didn't even know I had. Such an enlightening and emotional journey. I was hesitant as I hav/had severe anxiety but once I just let go and let the 🍄 do their thing it was such a warm experience. Highly recommend! Not to be abused
Good for you! And sound advice. They can be fun but they are medicine. They heal. They teach. They are what could heal this world in more ways than just one!!
Great show. Super knowledgeable guest.
Paul Stamets would have been a brilliant addition to this episode. Star Trek agree with me.
They got them outa space like ya watch 'Star Trek' and got you all in check.
paul is awesome. i would love to have him on a podcast with neil
lol, the conman who sells mushroom supplements?
He should have he own episode!
@@oldcowbbwasn't even aware he sells anything and I've probably watched 5 podcasts of him. Quite irrelevant
Mushrooms are very important for the soil, and plants. Mushroom mycelium can stretch for miles under the ground. Mushrooms are the cleaners of the planet.
Fun fact : In France we use dogs to hunt truffles but we also look at truffle flies !
(from wikipedia, faster than translation haha) : Its larvae develop in truffles, a behavior exploited in the search for truffles. The eggs are deposited in the soil above the fruiting bodies, and the emerging larvae dig for the truffles.
The best thing about listening to the podcast versions of these StarTalks, is that it is very hard to hear the picture shaking up and down. 😝😂
As usual, two bright guys and a guest, blowing my tiny mind. The co hosts here are a great combo.
Bryn is such an interesting man.. awesome episode
There's a fungus among us. 🍄 Why invite a mushroom to your party? Because he's a fun guy.
EWW 🤢
*ba dum tss*.
Wwewweeeeeeeee wake me to go wwewwwq it's LP
Ooh ok love 😘 llopli in my @@maxmordon7295
This comment is full of shitake. There just isn't "much"room for a fun guy 😅
Some people will go to a lot of truffle making a joke.
Fawnghee, Funjai ... Complex and fascinating subject, all the same! Excellent presentation! Thank you.
I want what you guys took or smoked before this episode. 😊
This was a fun and educational episode!
I did lsd in mild doses as well as mushroom occasionally (they made me throw up and I got tired of my whole trip being me sitting on the bathroom floor throwing up and watching the towels breathing) but the many experiences I had were always extremely pleasant I'm glad its helping people to have these events help them so much!
Must have seen all of your episodes twice by now haha
You guys make learning so much fun!!
24:00 “ I got some Romaine for 20 bucks.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I grew up gathering mushrooms of all kinds, my favorites are the shaggymanes/maines, inkycaps. They will pop up through pavement, in round rock under overpasses, the drive thru at jack n the box. I have a big patch in the small lawn at a olive garden where the dishwashers tell me they arnt the mushrooms I want haha. The stems are amazing sautéed in butter.
Chuck! I was thinking the same thing about using mushrooms as a 'skin' for spaceships! Great minds think alike buddy!!!
Chuck is creating so much neuroplasticity in all of us by helping others think outside of the box using humor and science is brilliant! It takes intelligence to understand both.
Feels like I haven't seen Chuck in a while, great to see you man!
Those dudes are so baked LOL
This guest is amazing. Scientifically speaking, he has good vibes.
7ish yrs ago, I stopped being able to consume shelfish. It suddenly started making me very sick. But I only ate 2-3x a year, so I stopped eating it, it wasin't worth the sickness.
I don't like mushrooms, so I never eat them. But I got some Shrooms a yr ago (1st time in 7-8 years), & It made me SO SICK!! I even started with a LOW dose, but OMG did I get sick!! My body refused them ENTIRELY!! Then I started checking things out & found out about "Kyten" (spelling?), & when I discovered it is in BOTH mushrooms & shelfish - Everything made sense. There is only 1 way I can get the "effect" without getting sick - by processing ground up mushrooms with 1.5-2.0oz of lemon juice, eventually straining it thru 5 layers of cheese cloth & drinking the lemon juice. It tastes terrible, but works. After an hr of stirring it B4 filtering it, the acid of the lemon juice breaksdown the "Kyten", making it digestible. But it is not a fun way of going about it. Plus it's HARD to get the taste outta yer mouth!! That may be why other people have trouble with mushrooms. My body FORCED it out of me because of the "Kyten.".
Hello
No
@@TheRealJoob
Why
oh i don't know 🙂 @@Space_Kade
@@TheRealJoob oh ok than 😋
I thoroughly enjoyed this show 💙💚💜
I'm a middle aged white male from the south, so I'm obviously racist, but i want to say I love star talk and enjoy every episode😂. Thanks
Obviously? Shoot I don’t assume that about anyone. No matter where they live or from. That’s a horrible stain that doesn’t wash off.
@@tonyhayes3950 it's a joke. Being a white man in the south, we get called racist all the time just because of where we live
@@dannybell926why continue the narrative tho?
hello, I am Maanas pandya a 16-year-old boy and I have a question about quantum entanglement. actually, I have come up with a theory: the 2 electrons that u are observing are at opposite ends of the US (first they need to be near each other) so they do not transmit the energy (information) in a straight line but they synchronize with each other then after there is no communication happening between them
can you pls explain me, why it can be true or not?
I cannot explain this to you, but I think it’s fantastic that you are thinking about these questions. Perhaps find a mentor at a university near you with whom you can explore these ideas?
Funny enough im picking up some mushrooms Tommorow
Listen to RUSH and have fun
Chicken of the woods
send them to mars
@@theperfectbotsteve4916 will do
A lot of times when people get sick or throw up from mushrooms is because they’ve not been grown in a sterile environment or they’re not washed. I enjoyed this. Thank you. I appreciate everyone learning from each other and growing together as species ❤
Love Paul Stamens!!! Please find him and have him as your guest!! Incredibly brilliant and wonderful speaker. He did a talk at Stetson that had profound impacts that led a friend to start a large scale mushroom business. He wrote so many wonderful books including how mycelium can save the world! Thank you for having these amazing guests! Chuck you are so damn lucky I want your job!! 😂
I wish Neil would just do psychedelics, I would love to hear his experience with knowledge like his. 👍 DO IT NEIL
Neil, love your 1st Nation artwork.
Just had my very first experience with shrooms last night and I'm still amazed, the experience was beautiful the images, the peace, the perspectives I was able to see, it still has me thinking about what it all means
I love how Regan and social control was explained here so simply by all involved. The normalization is super helpful.
Lol I live on the waterfront in Jersey City! And lived in Hoboken from 2019-2021- great area😂❤
this episode is fantastic btw! Per usual
If we have fungus inside of our bodies, does taking psilocybin mushrooms affect the fungus inside the body in any way, also do magic mushrooms affect the brain or body in any negative ways?
Just started listening.
And I have always wanted to have Professor De Grasse sober opinion on psilocybine and its cosmic connection.
Chuck Nice seems like a Fungi. When it comes to science humor, he doesn’t leave mushroom for improvement. 🍄
I have tripped on mushrooms once. I quit drinking alcohol the next day (after trying for years) and have had a much easier time sleeping since. Not saying that it will work for everyone, but I can't over state how much that one experience improved my life.
Good to have Chuck back 😊
Thanks!
Star Trek also uses a mycelium network in Discovery! They actually used it as a means of transportation! It’s a pretty cool concept
I love Chuckle! He is so innocent! Love him
I love when you guys get psychedelic
very good answers by Bryn
Thank you Chuck.
I liked him, he's very chill
Loved the in-depth look at the world of fungi.❤ Am I the only one who could only focus on the tree in the background? Must clear dead limbs!
Excellent guest and topic.
I learned a thing or two.
That GI distress in ayahuasca or dmt is also called purging and considered a part of the process in healing. And its not always puking. IT SEEMS the more you heal, the less your body feels it needs to purge. This is just based on my journey and the people ive had experiences with. You can get to a point where you can sit and be present with it. In the daime church you sing for the whole ritual unless you purge. Its almost like an exercise.
0:59 go somewhere you can relax and see the stars - like a nighttime mushroom picnic- film it- I bet you will have a really nice trip. Extra points if you take a magic carpet to lay on 😂
I have been drinking Four Sigmatic reishi & turkey tail mushroom tea at night before bed for 3 or 4 years now. That paired with magnesium glycinate gives me the best sleeps and the best digestion.
I’ve done aya & yes there’s a puke bucket but there’s many forms of purging & it feels sooooo good (like you are puking out the darkest parts of your soul)! However in the morning you go to clean your bucket and there’s barely anything in there. It’s not that bad! Shrooms and acid can make you feel kind of blah as well….
My favorite mushrooms are sliced in the Green Giant bottle.
I tried psilocybin mushrooms once...they made me throw up. And I don't like things that make me throw up and disoriented...
Best , funniest, informative!
Just started streaming Star Trek Discovery and finished watching the first season and I now have a whole new perception of mycelium 😉
Kale is SO good for you!! Kale and mushroom would be great for diet!!!
Gracias
this weekend is going to be fun going on a magic mushroom tour all while watching john wick 4!!
So Johns Hopkins has had MUCH SUCCESS with anxiety and depression with shrooms. Neurologists and osychiatrists have indeed had their interest piqued. Ive also heard claims that psilocybin increases the connections in the corpus callosum between hemispheres. We shall see how this research proceeds, but this isnt simply an "alternative wellness fad" they do have legitimate uses, which are being recognized more and more.
Chuck, you rock; lasing a ship w/ anti radition sheild is an awesome idea. Qutos to you!!!...
Thanks Neil & Friends that was fantastic!
Does worry me the number queries about the hallucinogenic qualities of mushrooms. Stay grounded and get your buzz from discoveries instead.
@jayhughes3843 Thank you Jay for straightening me out.
Being off your head has made America what it is today. A Nation of very stable Geniuses.
Mushrooms are the spice melange of reality.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is my hero!
Terrific episode! Very interesting episode, perhaps especially for us mushroom lovers.
