Gold Tops and Blue Meanies… are these magic mushrooms, Australian?

Howdy info seekers! Thanks for listening  on this fine Thursday edition of Brisbane Line. Here's a run-down of the story we ran.

12:30pm - Brisbane Line "Live" Discussion - Magic Mushrooms

Gold Tops and Blue Meanies… are these magic mushrooms, Australian? Do we even know all the psyllocybin mushroom species here in Australia?

Thereʻs renewed interest in Magic mushrooms and they arenʻt well documented.  4ZZZʻs Eliot Rifkin chatted with Dr Alistair McTaggart, a mycologist who is trying to remedy that oversight.

For a deep dive...

Here’s Dr Alistair McTaggart’s UQ researcher page as well as his Magic Mushroom blog which has his recent findings on his study's research.
If you’d like some more info on the medical aspects of psilocybin mushroom, visit Mind Medicine Australia
and PRISM to learn about clinical use for people in Australia
...and finally, a link to the Queensland Mycological Society for anyone who wants to join the mycological community.
