Thank you! I absolutely love the world of fungi. We should be paying more attention to it.

Yeah Paul Stamets is amazing. I'm going to start looking into mycology myself. This makes me think of Mario going for the 1up shroom haha.

I believe chances are that they would have been. I dont think people who are on a constant quest for food discriminate as much as we do. And then one day they came upon amanita muscaria and psylocybin containing mushrooms. Terrence McKenna argued that this was a key point in our development of language and culture. I dont know if thats true, but its interesting still.

Are there any hunter-gatherer tribes that actually eat mushrooms?

thanks, I was curious since I don't hear much about hunter-gatherers eating them.
