Toxicologists are often consulted about 🍄foraging misadventures (wild mushroom ingestion).
Usually you don't get a clear mushroom image like this video (at best a blurry photo of some OTHER mushroom), or more often no image.
So what to do?

If you do have a good sample or photo you can work with a mycologist (your posion center knows one) to identify the shroom. But this is not frequent.
Since we almost never have that we usually rely on history and symptoms
Key to differentiating mushroom toxicity types: time to onset of GI issues. Most mushrooms upset the tummy. The 5hr “rule” helps identify bad ones.

The same researchers conducted a year long trial... & found that 🍄🍄 (rather than red meat) resulted in ⬇️ total energy intake.
💬 1 problem with this study (it seems to me) is that it's not clear what kind of red meat (?🍔🍟) the participants were eating.
Interesting tho..

This study has:
34 participants, about half of which had previous experience with psychedelics
Randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, within-subjects design
0.5. g psilocybin mushroom in capsule and edible, non-psychedelic mushroom as placebo

Randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, within-subjects design
0.5. g psilocybin mushroom in capsule and edible, non-psychedelic mushroom as placebo
typical "microdose" is 0.1 - 0.5 g of dried mushrooms, which still can produce some type of altered consciousness, hallucination effect depending on the person.
most common regimen is 1 day on 2 days off, based on Fadiman's work.

1/ @michaelpollan's highly-expected @netflix series #HowToChangeYourMind just premiered! 📺🍄 Despite near-universal praise, #HTCYM is rife with errors & borders on historical revisionism 🤥

2/ Before I get started, I'll give everyone a little bit of background information. @michaelpollan released a non-fiction work entitled "How to Change Your Mind" in May of 2018. Before the end of that year, his book about #psychedelic drugs became a @nytimes bestseller.
3/ @michaelpollan achieved massive coverage for this self-described "mental travelogue" of his #psychedelic experiences. Soon enough, Mr. Pollan became a prominent figure w/in the so-called "Psychedelic Renaissance". In the process, he gained a rather interesting reputation.

📜Source enough undyed/brown cardboard and paper to fill the crate. You can also add some freshly used coffee grounds or even a little compost.

Thread/What do you think of when we talk about #biodiversity?
There's so much more to our planet's ecology than just plants, trees & animals... Our #soils are home to a quarter of the world's species - many of which include #fungi 🍄

2/ From the ingredients we cook with, to the medicines that heal us and the #woodwideweb that runs beneath our feet, #fungi are vital to our existence, and all life on earth, yet they are the oft-neglected kingdom...
3/This month's #BookClub features @MerlinSheldrake's 'Entangled Life' - an exploration of the amazing world of fungi, and the role they play in shaping all aspects of our world - "eating rock, making soil, digesting pollutants and nourishing and killing plants"
