Description:This talk will cover psychoactive fungi from a multitude of angles. You'll learn how to identify common psychoactive fungi of the North East in the field; covering species within Psilocybe Panaeolus Gymnopilus Pholiotina Pluteus and Amanita. We'll survey their use in different cultures from the past to the present and learn how their unusual biochemistry is being put to therapeutic use. We'll end by looking at their current legal status and how this is expected to evolve with their increasing acceptance. About Sigrid Jakob:Sigrid is an active member of the New York Mycological Society with a particular interest in Russulas and fungi growing on dung. She has lectured and written about Russulas and citizen science and is a proud volunteer for the North American Mycoflora Project.
