Kacey Musgraves: Heart of the Woods (Mycology with Paul Stamets)

Recorded live in front of a sold out crowd at the Ryman Auditorium
in Nashville on September 18, 2025, Kacey Musgraves and pioneering
mycologist Paul Stamets dive deep into the biology, evolution, and
mental health potential of psilocybin. From its ancient ritual
roots to its emerging role in modern therapy, their conversation
reveals how this once-taboo organism is transforming our
understanding of consciousness, creativity, and healing. Along the
way, they wander through unexpected terrain—spirituality,
pandemics, AI, bees, dogs on mushrooms, and more—in a
mind-expanding exploration of the heart of the woods.
