We traverse the underexplored mountain ranges and high meadows of California to learn about the unique geographies that give rise to diverse biological communities of plants & fungi, including everyone's favorite morel mushrooms, with lifelong Sierra Nevada naturalist Thea Chesney!
We sit down with Reggie, Ian Bollinger and Tomás Garret, 3 of the citizen scientists behind Oakland's own "Hyphae Labs", to learn about their groundbreaking work testing compounds within psilocybin containing mushrooms and we get pumped for the first annual Oakland Psychedelic Conference!
We travel to England to absorb researched perspectives on spirituality, religion, consciousness, ideas of "self", deep ecology and then take a deep dive on modern psychedelia and the cultural influences of the magic mushroom with ecological and religious scholar, Dr. Andy Letcher!
