SUMMARY:Eugenia Bone - Bumps in the Road: The Challenges of Mainstreaming Magic Mushrooms
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 6th\, 7:30pm — virtual event \nOur first myco-consortium lecture of 2025 features former NYMS president Eugenia Bone. \n \nMany people in psychedelic advocacy see psilocybin\, the psychoactive molecule in many Psilocybe species\, as having the potential to improve mental health and enhance spirituality. They ask what could possibly be problematic about legalizing and medicalizing a drug which might do so much good? \nIt turns out fitting magic mushrooms into our medical\, legal\, and commercial models is like trying to put a round peg into a square hole. Eugenia will break down some of the most significant bumps in the road to mainstreaming magic mushrooms use. \nThis talk is derived from her book Have a Good Trip\, an analysis of what is known\, what is unknown\, and what is unknowable about Psilocybe mushroom consumption\, and a resource for anyone curious about using them. \nEugenia Bone is an internationally known food and nature writer whose work has appeared in many anthologies\, magazines\, and newspapers. She is a member of the faculty at the New York Botanical Garden where she teaches classes on mycophagy and psychedelic mushrooms. She is the author or co-author of nine books on food and biology\, including the category staple Mycophilia\, and most recently\, Have a Good Trip: Exploring the Magic Mushroom Experience (October\, 2024). She has been nominated for or won a variety of awards\, including a James Beard Award. Eugenia is featured in the documentary directed by Louie Schwartzberg\, Fantastic Fungi (2019)\, and in the Netflix children’s show about food\, Waffles + Mochi (the mushroom episode) produced by Michele Obama’s Higher Ground Productions. She is past president of the New York Mycological Society. \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.
