Fascinating, never head of anyone tying fungi (the magic sort) consumption to neurogenesis - curious to investigate some more.
I do love the mushrooms, consume them quite often...trumpets, enoki, reishi oysters, shiitake. Never tried lions mane, don't imagine that can be bought at my health food store.
Micro-dosing is becoming popular in California right now. I want to try but have been out of college for too long to buy any magic mushrooms. But it has been raining so.... maybe I can find some.
I hear ya. I'm pretty far removed from my days of collegiate psychedelics, though they would be a fascinating revisit with a more mature, spiritually-oriented awareness. The trend of microdosing very frequently (daily or multiple times per week) concerns me...intuitively I'm thinking that regularily/permanently altering your state of perception may be a bad idea, create an awareness that is not inherently yours (potentially devolving into escapism). However, as a recreational/infrequent mechanism (a perception/awareness "holiday") I think it could be an excellent way to refresh the manner in which one sees and interprets the world around them.
Right, like camping, maybe a few times a year for a few days at a time.
yes, yes, would be an excellent way to enjoy the experience :)
