Exciting new research looking at mushroom derived substances for the treatment of various mental health conditions, coupled with recent popular books and programmes, has brought ‘magic mushrooms’ into the mainstream consciousness. Legitimate interest in psychoactive fungi has never been so high and at the same time, there is a huge amount of confusing, misleading and sometimes dangerously inaccurate information circulating.
