Psilosoma Project (mediterranean area)'s Journal

The exploration mission in the identified habitats bordering the Matese park in Campania and Molise is continuing well. The map analysis has so far been followed by six explorations carried out during August, September, October and November. The nature of the calcareous soil, the climate, however, hot and dry, and the now inevitable decrease in temperatures are contributing to conditions that are, still, not optimal for the abundant development of coprophimic fungi, so that this year it would seem difficult to fully assess the potential biodiversity of these mountains. Nevertheless, it has so far been possible to identify different species of fungi, some of which are wild shrooms; when the rains arrive, we will return to explore.

Collecting wild mushrooms can be dangerous thay could have poisons and toxins, anyone choosing to seek out or consume wild mushrooms does so at own risk. The risk of misidentification with other taxa (some of which are potentially toxic) that share the same habitat and fruiting season, makes necessary to educate the public about taxa cerapters, by the mycological divulgation of this project. In this project are showed species may contain compounds classified as a scheduled drug by many national drug laws. The entire genus Psilocybe has been included for simplicity, although some species in Psilocybe may not contain psilocybin and they are not a list of species considered safe for consumption as psychedelics. This video is age-restricted, it is intented for use strictly as entertainment and informational product, it doesn't encourages dangerous or illegal activities that risk serious physical harm or death; instead it want to invite all the professionals and enthusiasts who can be interested to get involved in this biogeographical scientific study project. Please Don’t use drugs or alcohol to escape your problems and check the legal status of psilocybin mushrooms, in the area you are researching.

finally a lot of rain has arrived... so we set off on a new exploration mission for the matese regional park... and here it is a little-known species in Italy, but one that is very abundant on the calcareous soils of the apennines and has a high therapeutic potential. The Psilocybe serbica found among the ferns. The mission was suspended due to persistent rain and temperatures that reached -5°C at night. time to recover and regroup, and it's back to exploring. If you would like to participate or support the explorations, please do not hesitate to contact us. Any help is welcome.
