Join us LIVE tonight on The MycoGeeky Podcast as we dive into the evolution of psilocybin, fungal genetics, and the debates that shape the world of mushrooms with special guest Edward Grand, PhD. We’ll break down how magic mushrooms may have acquired their ‘magic’ through horizontal gene transfer (Reynolds et al., 2018), what the genome of Pleurotus ostreatus (Larraya et al., 1999) teaches us about fungal evolution, and why the battle between Lumpers and Splitters in taxonomy matters—even for at-home cultivators. Plus, we’ll explore AFLP genetic testing and how it helps mushroom breeders identify strains and confirm successful matings. Don’t miss this exciting conversation—live audience Q&A included!
