Wadd up fellow shroomers!I am so new to this world but I come from a world not so far away it's green and legal in some places. I have since in my mind graduated from that lifestyle. Well got to a point where it is autonmous. Now I'm ready for a new hobby. I have used psilocybin recreationally and prolly abused it when I was young like most. But anyways now im interested even more because of Paul Stamets. I'm sure everything im saying is nothing new so I'll leave it at that.

I have not read it. I stick to these forums and they have never let me down. Teks update frequently as more cultivators experiment with various variables. Not all teks work for everyone due to differences in budget, grow space, altitude, temperature, and humidity. This hobby is about finding whats best for you.

For some reason there's a sizeable number of people who regard Stamets as a charlatan

Yeah I understand that completely. Budget dictates anything for sure. I guess there's a million ways to skin a deer. Is the biggest part of it keeping a sterile area. I know that's not the only but for the most part is that the make or break part?

Haha. Hey morrow, those same people prolly think the earth if flat. Here you have a guy who spent his whole life for the better part scientifically examining this field, Passes all the test, and meets all credentials but gets ridiculed by some asshole who isn't happy with his life on YouTube.

no, it's actually some of the more respected and clearly knowledgeable members of the shroomery. I wish I could remember specifically whom.

I also don't remember who mentioned it first...
But it was along the lines of false advertising.
If I recall correctly, it was basically that he is mostly talk, and when it comes to most of his actual products, they are over priced and sub-par in quality.
Also I heard he's made a few outlandish claims, with seemingly no evidence.
Anyways...
Welcome to the shroomery!
Sterile technique is very important, but there are lots of critical areas that can ruin a grow.
For me it was always the humidity... battling to give them enough fresh air, without drying them out.

Well that's very interesting considering he kinda is fighting the good fight for all of us directly or indirectly. I mean it's one thing to say the products he sells are misleading, but to dismiss his scientific findings is absurd. Whoever that is I would like to hear what they have to say. Sounds like trolls to me. Sorry

As far as I'm concerned he is the reason John's Hopkins University is doing research on the medicinal uses of psilocybin but whatevs.

why? are you a scientist? believe it or not there are several members of this board who are legitimate professional mycologists. as I stated, they regard stamets as a charlatan who basically exaggerates the hell out of whatever findings he does have in order to personally profit monetarily and in terms of reputation. it's hard to know if a given scientific claim is bogus unless you have a deep understanding of the field it pertains to. I am just relating what I've heard, I'm humble enough to know that I don't know enough about the field to make a judgment call
oh yeah btw welcome to the shroomery

I know enough about the science community too make a pretty good judgement call. Considering if your a charlatan you don't get grants for your research, You don't get DEA liscense, you don't have three or four books out that are praised by all other mycologist since the 80's. You don't get too name pretty much any new species of psilocybin. Are they saying his research on fungi combating diseases is bogus? Are they saying his research on mycelium helping the bees is bogus? Again it's amusing to me somebody on shroomery would argue against him. I think those people have some motive or stuck in their own dogmatic ways. Do you think science doesn't get political lol?

I said abused not addicted. If you don't know simple English words you should Google them before typing.

From what I recall, yes, people were saying that he way overstates the neuroregenerative potential of fungi like lion's mane and psilocybin. And yes, we're all very much aware of anything he releases, it's in the news service forum. I actually posted a thread on the bee research in reddit's science subreddit. I've got no dog in this fight. Just keep talking about stamets and eventually his opposition will come out of the woodwork and you'll be able to ask them for yourself what the deal is

Every single company in the health field whether natural or otherwise does this. Minimize overhead while maximizing profit while painting the best possible image of the product and it's owner's as possible. That's just business and he is smart about it. If he uses profits to live the life he lives, host seminars, workshops etc, then in my book he's a good teacher.
