Event Details

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.
