Welcome, mycophiles! Unveil the wonders of mushrooms through the whimsical tales of "Mycoman's Fungal Fairytales."

In the latest fungi festivities, we found ourselves amid the vibrant energy of Denver's Psychedelic Science 2023 show, hosted by MAPS. This colossal gathering buzzed with over 500 articulate speakers and a crowd of more than 11,000 enthusiastic attendees.

AGENDA:

• 😡 Voices of Change: Protest at the Psychedelic Science 2023 show

• 📔 Luminaries and Learnings: Summary of Psychedelic Science 2023

• 🪧 Spore-tacular Showcase: The Mycomatic Booth

• 🤝 Growing the Mycelial Network

Voices Raised: Demonstrations at Psychedelic Science 2023

A poignant interruption marked Rick Doblin's concluding remarks as protesters voiced their unease over the sidelining of indigenous contributions in the psychedelic renaissance. They demanded a pivot towards respect, mutual benefit, and inclusivity.

A particularly vocal protester had the audacity to question Doblin's position within the movement, challenging the structures which continue to uphold these disparities. Another protester boldly asserted that this so-called psychedelic renaissance is in reality a form of cultural appropriation, cloaking colonization under the guise of celebrating indigenous plant-based wisdom.

Psychedelic Science 2023: Mycoman’s Recap

Stealing the spotlight at both the Mushroom Summit and Psychedelic Science 2023 was renowned mycologist Paul Stamets. His speeches were like a love letter 💓 to psilocybin mushrooms, lauding their ability to teach unity and interconnections. He painted a vivid portrait of their multifaceted characteristics, from medicinal wonders to mind-expanding agents 🧠. Intriguingly, he equated their vast mycelial networks to interconnected structures dotting our universe.

In line with the spirit of inclusion echoed throughout the events, Stamets championed the 🗣️ call to reschedule psilocybin and psychedelics. His appeal for broad acceptance was underpinned by the burgeoning evidence for these substances' therapeutic potential.

Psychedelic Science 2023 emerged as an unparalleled global gathering of psychedelic experts, enthusiasts, and advocates. MAPS shone brightly, revealing encouraging results from their latest trial of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD. 💊 Their findings reaffirmed the promising trajectory of psychedelic therapies.

Mushroom Summit served as a rich platform for delving into the booming functional mushroom sector, stirring up enlightening discussions - particularly those debating the preference of mycelium versus fruiting body in functional medicine. Moreover, it cast a well-deserved spotlight on the burgeoning potential of mushrooms in the realm of health research 🧪

Religious leaders experienced divinity through psychedelics, while a legion of motivated mothers prepped to march on Washington DC, advocating for Psychedelic Therapy. And, so much more that we might need to create dedicated blog post.
