Paul Stamets (@PaulStamets) is an intellectual
and industry leader in the habitat, medicinal use, and production
of fungi. Part of his mission is to deepen our understanding and
respect for the organisms that literally exist under every
footstep taken on this path of life. Paul is the author of a new
study in Nature's Scientific Reports, which details how mushroom
extracts—specifically extracts from woodland polypore
mushrooms—can greatly reduce viruses that contribute to bee
colony collapse.
Paul is the author of six books, including Mycelium Running: How
Mushrooms Can Help Save the World, Growing Gourmet and Medicinal
Mushrooms, and Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: An
Identification Guide, and he has discovered and named numerous
species of psilocybin mushrooms. Paul is also the founder and
owner of Fungi Perfecti, makers of the Host Defense mushroom
supplement line, and it is something I've been using since Samin
Nosrat recommended it in my last book, Tribe of Mentors.
Paul has received numerous awards, including Invention Ambassador
(2014-2015) for the American Association for the Advancement of
Science (AAAS), the National Mycologist Award (2014) from the
North American Mycological Association (NAMA), and the Gordon
& Tina Wasson Award (2015) from the Mycological Society of
America (MSA).
The implications, applications, and medicinal uses of what we
discuss in this interview are truly mind-boggling, and we get
into some of my favorite subjects, including psychedelics and
other aspects of bending reality. If you're interested in
contributing to psychedelic science and research, you can do so
at MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies),
or if you've got $100,000 or more to spare, visit me at
tim.blog/science.
I hope you enjoy this entire interview, but if you only have time
to listen to one part, I recommend checking in at the [56:25]
mark to hear how Paul's first experience with psilocybin
mushrooms affected his lifelong stutter. Enjoy!
