I was pleasantly surprised by how well researched Hamilton was. Usually when people make shows about mushrooms they have no idea what the hell they are talking about and it makes it hard to watch.

i agree on the pronouncation. How they pronounced "psilocybe" was very weird!
I always pronounce it "Sill-Low-Cybe".
Also those Florida pickers near their stuff. I wonder what their screennames are 
On the cultivators, i will argue it does take years to master growing. Its not hard to learn but it is hard to master it where u can get consistent results grow-to-grow.

I have pronounced it "s-eye-low-sibe" for a long time and I think it will take something for me to change that.
I'm sure that reading that will make some people cringe.
In the end though, a lot of it is taken from Latin, and we have only written accounts and guesses of pronunciation for large amounts. So screw you.

This was well said, I'm sure there are more than a few of us who feel this way.

I don't think it's a regional thing. For me it just read that way back when I first read it.
I'm not saying that you're suggesting it is. I don't know where all the different pronunciations come from.

Those are enormous. I wonder if they'd grow in the wild around here, if introduced. According to the oracle (wikipedia) "It often grows in sunny locations". I've never heard anyone refer to London as a "sunny location".

You're missing the point. Look at that hat. That is the hat of a mushroom hunter right there.

The farmers were jaw jacking about those in the cane being the strongest, is this likely? I'm aware they are most likely not aware of all the other species and not lab rats. Ham ate a fresh one that looked to be about a gram and felt the effects. Sugar cane, steroids for fungus.... Aren't allenii supposed to be the most potent?

Absolutely. Good stuff Alan, cool to see you on this.

Agreed. The girl in particular was pretty annoying.
Pretty dumb of them to even do the show IMO, a mask only goes so far. Tempting fate...
Yeah that was a joke. Using tiny tiny monotubs with no headspace, the whole room setup was weird an unnecessary. They were using a glove box, not a still air box or flowhood. Lots of stuff wasn't done well. Implying cubensis is difficult to grow...
Anyways, enjoyed Alans part though. Cool to see Oaxaca.

Yes - I had assumed there might be a regional influence, but it may not make sense for words like this that are not in common parlance. Rather, I suppose, new pronunciations are being spontaneously generated in isolation and then not necessarily brought in line with consensus because they're not so often used in speech.
