About this Event
Join us for an exciting event on Medicinal & Culinary Mushrooms presented by Dr. Michael Beug! Learn all about the fascinating world of mushrooms and their benefits. The talk will be in two parts: Part 1 on psychotropic fungi and Part 2 on general medicinal/culinary fungi. Part 1 deals briefy with mushrooms in the Amanita muscaria, A. gemmata, and A. pantherinoides groups where the principal toxins are muscimol and ibotenic acid and then explores in depth the species containing psilocybin and psilocin as the main active compounds. Part 2 examines mushroom food value and nutrition and the vast range of potential functional foods and medicinal uses of fungi. I also briefy examine evolving uses of fungi to grow homes, make recyclable materials to replace plastics as well as synthetic dyes and thus ease adverse human e)ects on the environment. The event will take place at the Everett Firefighters Hall, so mark your calendars and don't miss out on this unique opportunity to expand your knowledge on these amazing fungi. See you there!
