Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound found in certain species of mushrooms and is receiving growing attention from researchers for its potential role in mental health and well-being. Clinical studies have found promising results in the treatment of depression, including major depressive disorder, and research is also exploring its potential to reduce anxiety and emotional distress associated with serious illness. In controlled clinical settings, psilocybin-assisted therapy has been associated with relatively rapid reductions in depressive symptoms, with some benefits lasting beyond the immediate effects of the experience. Researchers believe psilocybin may temporarily change patterns of communication in the brain and promote greater psychological flexibility and neural connectivity. (JAMA Network)

Our mission is to help the public understand the science and history surrounding medicinal and therapeutic mushrooms, including the promising research into psilocybin. We believe people deserve access to accurate information about potential natural and plant- or fungi-derived approaches to wellness, while also understanding their limitations and risks. Psilocybin is not currently an FDA-approved treatment for routine medical use, and research is still developing; experiences can be unpredictable and may cause anxiety, confusion, increased blood pressure, or other adverse effects. (NCCIH) We encourage everyone to educate themselves, speak with qualified healthcare professionals when appropriate, and make informed decisions based on reliable evidence. If you have questions about psilocybin, medicinal mushrooms, or the research behind them, please reach out to us. We are here to share information, answer questions, and help you explore the science.

Additionally, we believe people also deserve access to these potentially life changing mushrooms, to make decisions for themselves and take back control over their mental and physical well being. Donations make it possible for us to continue learning, growing, and giving back to our community by always having these medicinal fungi available for those who chose and/or need it for their health and well being.
