I guess I just want somewhere to share my story. When I was 19 I took shrooms, and it was like I was turned inside out. As a child, I was very extroverted and loved being around people. And after the shrooms, I felt disconnected from everyone and everything around me. I just wanted to alone. I am learning to feel happiness from within myself, not running from myself. It's been a LONG and PAINFUL process but once it's healed, it's healed and beautiful.

The mushroom ID apps are very hit or miss. I took a photo of the wine caps I was growing in my garden, which I knew were wine caps since _I planted them there myself,_ and the app got completely confused. Wine caps weren't even on the list of possibilities it showed me.

Another great episode, Tony. It's always good to hear from you.

I don't trust AI to write a Grimms' Fairy Tale correctly.

You have no idea how much joy this brings me! I've never been so proud of the mushroom community and family as I am rightnow! MUSHROOMS. ARE. THE. FUTURE!! Thank God for this show and all of you other amazing myconots. I've been at it for 2 years now, it's been an amazing journey hunting in the woods, and I've never been more fit. 😊 I absolutely love mushrooms and love talking about mushrooms 🍄 🍄 🍄. Keep up the good work!!!!

Great show!

There are just too many details that we need to know, to trust apps. There are lots of plant apps out there and those frequently don’t get it even close to right. There’s no way I’m going to trust one to identify a mushroom, let alone a mushroom I’m thinking of eating.

I’m so into Turkey Tail mushroom foraging as I make them into a medicinal tincture that I share with my family and we use it daily for all its health benefits.

There is someone on Facebook using your pics on a fake profile to scam people

I work at a huge amazon facility that just started printing books to order and theresca flood of all kinds of BS Ai generated books and coloring books.

Hey I have a question. If I’m making the mushrooms buckets and want to stack them is it okay to stack different mushrooms atop each other? Further more can I keep them in the same greenhouse or do the need to be separated?

Placebos are known since a long time to have positive effects, in some cases rivaling the actual medicine.

Toney shield like mushroom in the field. !

Btw... Love the blood orange wall! 🎨

This is not a maybe quit playing games this is amazing medicine that instantly works it saved my life.

Hey can you do a fistulina hepatica show? Pple said someone find out how to grow it or maybe an episode of mushrooms that never been grow before

I listened to the test about depression. It did help all that took it. The gov. stoped it and I think that was because it would be too cheap. No pharma.

I love smelling mushrooms

3:54 nah thats not where Psilocybe comes from, psilos and kybe meaning bare head

I can detect a AI journalist before the first period.

Все видео класс! Есть какая то информация по выращиванию аурикулярии уховидной ( гриб муэр) ? Если можете дать информацию о составе субстрата на котором она растет , был бы весьма благодарен.

AI can't even get the number of fingers or limbs right...

I would rather up Omega 3 with flaxseed oil and increase the magnesium intake to steady the brain 😅

Great show. Is there someone in Calgary that knows about mushrooms that I could share some pictures with. I just seen lot of mushrooms on cut up pine trees in my yard. Thank

See... Faking it IS dangerous.

Interesting video, except for the half that was a bunch of hippies doing hippie things.

Hmm. So it's finally happened.. the ai have been unleashed..as in the terminator franchise movies..lol I'm jking it is funny to think about the level of advancement that ai has gotten to even be thinking this sort of thing lel 😂. It's so cool making this comment ..even before the live stream video begins..it's going to make history happen lel haha.

Get Hemp the CBD company is now selling Powdered Shrooms Im curious if you agree with their claims.

Do you think magic mushrooms and microdosing really helps with your mental health?

For a period, we'll have to buy no new books, until we have mandatory AI-labeling laws.

Do the facilitators of these studies have PERSONAL experience with psychedelics? Do these therapists go to therapy? I understand folks need help but these therapists could potentially do more damage if they don't have working knowledge of the medicine they're utilizing. Rachel Harris, PhD, spoke of these things both on the MycoGeeky podcast, a couple weeks ago, and in her book Swimming in the Sacred.

25mg is not strong enough for most people by body weight. Perhaps if you've never had any experience with psychoactive drugs other than alcohol, caffeine and nicotine and you are exceptionally average weight and height and neurologically typical it could be the perfect dose. Most people don't fit that category especially people suffering from mental health issues and considering how safe larger doses are we really need that research! Anyone who has a lot of experience with psilocybin know that things really start to get interesting and truly profound at 50mg+. That usual clinical bullshit of giving someone just enough to function better within cultural norms, but not enough to see clearly that it's those usually unconscious cultural expectations which make people ill in the first place. Good example is shoes; people always winging about new shoes giving them blisters, but instead of complaining to the shoe providers that there's something seriously wrong with the shoes they go buy foot salves and blister plasters and allow their feet to become deformed, then they complain about having back ache and so it goes on! Once you see these insane behaviours clearly you can't go back!

How many people here have helped their depression with psilocybin?

Hi good day like to trade I have saw mill with lots of saw dust and logs do you have any Reishi spawn ☮️🏴‍☠️🇨🇦I'm North of Edmonton

Mushrooms are the most organic and natural thingin existence. AI is the exact opposite, inorganic. I was on a trip the other night, 4gs of steel magnolias and 1g penis envy and I said to myself, I wonder what ai would be like tripping? *Sarcastic* then I was like nah man it's not aware or conscious and it's not aware of being aware.

Are you serious? AI growing mushrooms?

Re-post

To check edibility, I make cream of mushroom soup and feed to the local raccoon population.😂

I'm glad you at least added "in my opinion" because gatekeeping, patronising and hyperbole were and have been my primary experiences and pain in the arse in introduction to mycology and I've seen the same frustrating arguments against AI and even the crowd sourced apps and things like Google lens multiple times and have yet to see actually useful or constructive criticism, sadly, this applies to your comments too. Conversely in the wider foraging world there's concern and safety but far, far less hyperbole and gatekeeping and I'd argue you're way more likely to kill yourself with plants than fungi in general foraging, at least going by the the numbers. That is to say, safety and erring on the side of caution are absolutely sensible and important but discouraging use of google lens or plant net or whatever else that makes things easier BECAUSE they make things easier is just plain fear mongering or naive gatekeeping.

The mushroom ID apps are useful for people who have absolutely no clue about what they've photographed. It's not going to be correct 100% of the time, but it at least it provides a suggestion of what it could be, which then you can look up in a field guide for verification. If the app is wrong, the field guide will likely have a list of "look-alikes" which can then be investigated. The important take-way is that you NEED to retain the mushroom for proper inspection. You might have to dissect, or take a spore print to be certain.
