The opioid epidemic continues to devastate families and communities across America, leaving researchers and clinicians desperately searching for new treatment approaches. What if a compound found in mushrooms could help break the cycle of addiction? In this riveting conversation, Alex Dorr welcomes Dr. Stephanie Daves from Temple University's Center for Substance Abuse Research to discuss her groundbreaking work exploring how psilocybin might combat heroin addiction. Dr. Daves shares her personal journey into addiction research, motivated partly by witnessing the devastating impacts of substance use disorders firsthand. She explains the science behind addiction as a chronic disease—not simply a matter of willpower—where individuals prioritize obtaining and using substances despite severe negative consequences to their lives and relationships. The heart of their conversation revolves around fascinating research showing how psilocybin targets the serotonin 2A receptor, which changes in the brains of rats exposed to heroin. While psilocybin didn't prevent rats from taking heroin when available, it significantly reduced drug-seeking behavior during simulated relapse scenarios. Dr. Daves hypothesizes that beyond psychedelic experiences, psilocybin may work through anti-inflammatory pathways in the brain, potentially offering a new mechanism for addiction treatment. They explore the distinctions between two therapeutic approaches: high-dose sessions producing profound psychedelic experiences versus microdosing protocols where individuals take sub-perceptual amounts. Each approach may benefit different individuals or conditions, highlighting the need for personalized treatment strategies. The discussion also touches on how environmental factors and social connections play crucial roles in recovery, drawing parallels to the famous "Rat Park" experiments. Despite promising results, the conversation reveals significant challenges in addiction research, including lengthy study timelines and difficulties securing consistent funding. As communities continue fighting the opioid crisis, this research offers hope through innovative approaches that might help address both the biological and psychological aspects of substance use disorders.

Today we travel to space with Marta Filipa Simões to talk about what fungi has been found in space, how they can survive, what tests we are doing on earth to discover their space exploration potential, and the possibility of fungal life on other planets. Extra information and details: For detailed information on astromycology research and experiments done, or even fungal species tested in both real outer space conditions and simulated conditions, you can check out the publication: https://www.mycosphere.org/pdf/MYCOSPHERE_14_1_13.pdf . As mentioned, me and my research team, we've done several experiments in hypergravity (10 and 15G). This was done through a project entitled "HyperSpacEx – Medical and Biotechnological potential of Fungi in Hypergravity for Space Exploration", where we had access to a large diameter centrifuge (LCD) to simulate the selected hypergravity values. This LDC is available at the facilities of the European Space Research and Technology Center (ESTEC), Noordwijk, the Netherlands, which we accessed through the HyperGES programme ( https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/access2space4all/HyperGES/HyperGES_Index.html ). HyperGES is a cooperation programme between the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the European Space Agency (ESA), developed under the Access to Space for All Initiative. Hydrothermal vents were discovered a few decades ago and are a relatively recent discovery in the field of oceanography. Initially, these extreme environments were thought to be sterile and devoid of life. However, subsequent research revealed a high diversity of microbial life thriving there. These microorganisms are highly adapted the harsh conditions. This discovery was highly significant for astrobiology and expanded our understanding of life’s potential habitats. Furthermore, hydrothermal vents are considered terrestrial analogues for Mars. This is due to the detection of ancient hydrothermal vents on Mars, which suggests that similar conditions might have once supported life on the Red Planet. Panspermia is the theory or hypothesis that defends that life exists throughout the Universe and can be carried out into different locations, like our own planet, through space dust, meteorites, asteroids, comets, and planetoids. This is one of the theories that attempts to explain the origin of life on Earth.

Today we get an auditory transport to Hawaii to sit down with Nicole Hynson to chat about the fungal biodiversity of Hawaii. We focus on the importance of mycorrhizal fungi on the island and the relationship between these rare tropical plants and their fungal allies. We end the episode talking about how to inspire young kids to get excited about mushrooms and how to best teach kids in our school systems. Dr. Nicole Hynson is a Professor in the Pacific Biosciences Research Center at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. There, she teaches mycology and ecology as well as runs a research lab. The focus of her group's research is the ecology and evolution of symbiotic fungi. They are particularly interested in defining "rules of life" for microbial communities. Another focus of their work is endangered plant species conservation through a better understanding of plant-microbe interactions, including the mycorrhizal symbiosis between plants and root-inhabiting fungi. Nicole has been classically trained as a mycologist since her time as an undergraduate at the Evergreen State College under the tutelage of Dr. Michael Beug, she received her PhD from University of California Berkeley where she studied mycoheterotrophy in the lab of Dr. Tom Bruns, after which she worked in the lab of Dr. Kathleen Treseder at UC Irvine on fungal ecosystem ecology before starting her lab at the University of Hawaiʻi in 2012. Her favorite part of her job is getting students excited about fungi in the hopes of training the next generation of mycologists.

Mycorrhizal fungi are critical to life on Earth. They have symbiotic relationships with surrounding plant life and are vital for the growth and health of forests. Today we are joined by Dr. Suzanne Simard, one most influential researchers on these fungi. Suzanne has largely contributed to the scientific acknowledgment to mycorrhizal ecology, as well as creating awareness about their critical role in local and global ecosystems. As we learn more about these subterranean networks, their function in the world more and more vital. We are in an era where we are losing our forests faster than we can understand (let alone protect) what we truly lose from deforestation. Suzanne is sounding the alarm by proclaiming what we've discovered so far. We discuss what we do know about the vitality of mycorrhizal communities, current and predicted repercussions of disturbing them, and how we can support their restoration. Topics covered: A dive into Suzanne’s personal and professional journey Why old growth forests are imperative What our world would look if we did not have mycorrhizal fungi The function of mycorrhizal communities in local and global ecosystems Dark septate endophytic fungi and other forms of fungal symbiosis Suzanne’s book “Finding the Mother Tree” Show notes: Suzanne’s website: https://mothertreeproject.org/ Lessons from fungi - Toby Kiers Ted Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/toby_kiers_lessons_from_fungi_on_markets_and_economics?language=en www.mushroomrevival.com We are a functional mushroom company and make 100% certified USDA Organic and Vegan mushroom supplements.

Today’s show is all about spalting fungi and its unique mycology. This time, we are joined by THE expert, Dr. Seri Robinson, who has been studying the phenomena for over a decade. Aside from spalting’s unique mycology, we discuss the auspicious applications of these fungi and their metabolites. Seri is an artist and Professor of wood anatomy at Oregon State University. They were introduced to spalted woods through wood working, quickly discovering the lack of information about the phenomena, and therefore pioneering a new subfield of science. Topics Covered: A look into Dr. Seri Robinson’s life as an artist and scientist, and their unconventional path to studying spalted woods The history and urban legends of spalted wood Defining spalted wood and spalting fungi Specific environmental conditions for spalting fungi How to spalt wood in the lab Ecology of fungal pigments Function of fungal pigments, especially fungal melanin Decay stages of fungi and how that affects wood spalting How to extract the spalting pigment Chlorociboria’s pigments and it’s impressive applications Wood anatomy and how fungi are influenced by their substrates Show notes: Spalting Cooperative Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/spalting Northern Spatling: https://www.northernspalting.com/ Spalted Wood Book: https://www.amazon.com/Spalted-Wood-History-Science-Material/dp/0764350382/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_i=0764350382&psc=1 Spalting 101 Book: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/spalting-101-dr-seri-c-robinson/1137088019?ean=9780764360893 Publication on zone line mycology: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264127521000332 Xylindein pigment research: https://today.oregonstate.edu/news/fungi-produced-pigment-shows-promise-semiconductor-material www.mushroomrevival.com We are a functional mushroom company and make 100% certified USDA Organic and Vegan mushroom supplements.

We are joined by Mycologist Neil Gow who has formal training in mycology, especially in relation to infectious fungi. On today's show, we look at fungi through the lens of pathogenic interactions with humans. Which fungi are most likely to cause a human zombie apocalypse? What happens when you inject psilocybin tea into your veins? Although his research is on combating fungal infections, Neil is a big time mycophile with jaw dropping information on this impressive kingdom of life. Topics covered: Common fungal infections in humans The status of research and understanding of pathogenic fungi, esp with humans Why are fungal infections so hard to treat? What are the mechanisms of fungal infection in humans? Mucormycosis or the "black fungus" outbreaks The pervasiveness of candida Evolution of drug resistant fungi Case Study: Intravenous Injection of Psilocybin The morbid question: which fungal species are most likely to cause zombie humans? Forensic mycology and microbiology Prevalence of fungal products The mycobiome and mutualism between human and fungal species Show notes: What is this field of Mycology?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3farm1uFrbI Neil Gow's Publications: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Neil-Gow-2 The Genus Plague: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33946360-the-genius-plague A “Trip” to the ICU: An Intravenous Injection of Psilocybin: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S266729602030015Xv ECMM: https://www.ecmm.info/fecmm/fellows/gow-neil/ WHO Data on Fungal Infections: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/the-top-10-causes-of-death https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7278517/ www.mushroomrevival.com We are a functional mushroom company and make 100% certified USDA Organic and Vegan mushroom supplements.
