fantastic discussion

great information on the science of psychoactive alkaloids. I was seeking information on alcohol extracts and Dr. K Mandrake and Virginia Haze deliver, as usual.

Hi there....

I love this podcast and all the info it has brought into my life. I started getting into mushrooms about a year ago and that's right around when I found this podcast. When I got started I was only interested in cultivating my own edible mushrooms, now I am very excited to forage for wild ones and trying to get a mycorrhizal network in my garden. This podcast is for anyone excited about mushrooms and everything that it brings with it. Thank you Darren for putting this out!
