POD 128: Dr. Daniel Panaccione on a newly discovered lysergamide producing fungus
Added 2025-07-14 00:41:01 +0000 UTCIn this episode I interview Dr. Panaccione, Professor of Plant and Soil Sciences at WVU Davis, about a newly discovered lysergamide producing fungus his student Corinne Hazel isolated from morning glory seeds and gave the wonderful name Periglandula clandestina. Additionally we discuss a fungus that was found on a sample of a nitropropene in Shulgin's lab (currently being cultured by Alan Rockefeller), indole diterpenes, the kykeon, and the role of psychoactive alkaloids in soil ecology.

While it is interesting to entertain the idea of interspecies communication through the psychedelic experience, I'm not sure why you interpret your experience as such, rather you yourself caring about the state of the planet.

2025-07-22 05:50:53 +0000 UTCThe shrooms can communicate their needs through the psychedelic experience. I personally had an experience on magic truffles (=sclerotia=mycelium) where I saw a vision of a big digger - a bit menacing in it's machine's indifference - excavate a huge black empty hole in the ground. It was a communication on how the effectiveness of such construction machines mean mass death for mycelia, as they can't adapt that fast (in contrast to when e.g. digging with a shovel). "Stop this please", I percieved the 'mushroom spirit' to say to me. I responded that as much as I'd like to help, there wasn't really anything I could do about it... I also got an understanding that 'the muhsrooms' were trying to communicate with humans through other methods too, but that those were even less successful than the communication through psychedelic experience. Ofc accepting that experiences like that are what the experiencer percieves them to be (i.e. not just ramblings of their own mind) would imply metaphysics & ontology that's incompatible with how the (meta)modern humanity understands the reality to be. but anyway the point is that plz stop the mycelium massacre
