Presented by Dr. Michael Beug
The webinar is in two parts: Part 1 on psychotropic fungi and Part 2 on general
medicinal/culinary fungi. Part 1 deals briefly with mushrooms in the Amanita muscaria,
A. gemmata, and A. pantherinoides groups where the principle toxins are muscimol and
ibotenic acid and then explores in depth the species containing psilocybin and psilocin
as the main active compounds. Part 2 examines mushroom food value and nutrition and
the vast range of potential functional food and medicinal uses of fungi. I also briefly
examine evolving uses of fungi to grow homes, make recyclable materials to replace
plastics as well as synthetic dyes and thus ease adverse human effects on the
environment.
