Elsie Maud Wakefield (1886-1972) was an English mycologist and plant pathologist. She published over 100 papers on fungi and plant pathology, along with two popular field guides to the larger British fungi. Wakefield described many new species during her career, one of them being her discovery of Psilocybe cyanescens in 1938. The fungal genera Wakefieldia and Wakefieldiomyces are named after her, as are the species Aleurodiscus wakefieldiae, Amaurodon wakefieldiae, Brachysporium wakefieldiae, Crepidotus wakefieldiae, Hypochnicium wakefieldiae, Pneumocystis wakefieldiae, Poria wakefieldiae, and Postia wakefieldiae.

Helen Beatrix Potter
(1866–1943) is best known for her children’s stories and illustrations like The Tale of Peter Rabbit, but most people don’t know that she was also a mushroom lady. Over the years, on numerous trips to the Scottish countryside, Potter completed more than 350 paintings of different mushrooms and lichen.
Although her interest in fungi began as an appreciation for their complexity and beauty, Potter soon leaned deeper into the science of mycology through more and more detailed paintings—even microscopic depictions of mushroom spores—that were used by other fungi enthusiasts for identifying purposes. Potter was accepted to study mycology at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, London, and submitted a research paper to the Linnean Society of London. Unfortunately, she was forbidden from attending the standard proceeding and presentation for papers because she was a woman.

Emil Christian Hansen (1842–1909) was a Danish mycologist and fermentation physiologist known for his pioneering work in the field of microbiology, particularly his development of techniques for isolating pure yeast cultures. Hansen's method, known as "pure culture fermentation," revolutionized the brewing industry by enabling the consistent production of beer without the risk of contamination. Through this work he became one of the first to isolate a bottom-fermenting yeast that was later named Saccharomyces pastorianus. This yeast strain is used in the production of lager beer as it ferments at lower temperatures compared to ales and is the yeast strain from which the majority of yeasts used in brewing lager beers are derived.

Florida, Georgia, Idaho, and California have (stupid) laws that criminalize the spores from over 200 mushroom species within 8 separate genera, even though spores themselves contain no illicit substances whatsoever (28 of those species are native to Florida, 17+ native in Georgia, 15+ in California, and at least 8 grow wild in Idaho). Because this image was created using spore prints from 3 psilocybin producing species (Pluteus americanus (pink in hair), Gymnopilus luteus (orange skin), and Panaeolus cinctulus (black in background) pursuant to Georgia law O.C.G.A 16-13-71 (627), Idaho code § 37-2701 (34), and CA code § 11391, it is illegal in those states. So trumps image is illegal to possess in his home state in part because of the color used for his skin.

Alexander H. Smith (1904–1986) was an American mycologist from Wisconsin, renowned for his accuracy and scientific rigor in his extensive contributions to the study of fungi. During the course of his 57 years of field work, Smith amassed over 100,000 fungal samples along with an extensive library of photographs which are now located in the University of Michigan Herbarium. Among the species he first described are Psilocybe collybioides, P. yungensis, P. pelliculosa, P. baeocystis, P. muliercula, P. strictipes.

Pier Andrea Saccardo
(1845–1920), an Italian botanist and mycologist. He served as the director of the Botanical Garden of the University of Padua and was the founder and editor of the journal "Sylloge Fungorum," which published descriptions and classifications of fungi from around the world. Saccardo authored numerous publications, including the monumental "Sylloge Fungorum Omnium Hucusque Cognitorum" (Sylloge of Fungi, 28,000 pages in 26 volumes), which was the first modern effort to compile all identified fungi within a single classification scheme and cataloged thousands of fungal species descriptions including their spore characteristics. To this day it remains a fundamental reference in mycology.

Charles Horton Peck (1833–1917) was an American mycologist from New York known for his significant contributions to the study of fungi in North America. He worked as the state botanist of New York and was associated with the New York State Museum. Peck authored numerous scientific papers and monographs on fungi and named over 2,000 new species during his career. His work laid the foundation for mycological research in our region and has contributed to the broader understanding of fungal diversity and taxonomy.
Some of the species Peck first described include Gymnopilus aeruginosus, Gymnopilus braendlei, Gymnopilus luteofolius, Gymnopilus luteus (used for his face), Gymnopilus validipes, Psilocybe caerulipes, Psilocybe graveolens, Psilocybe silvatica.

Roger Heim (1900–1979) was a French botanist and mycologist. He served as the director of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle (National Museum of Natural History) in Paris from 1951 to 1970, publishing over 560 articles during his career.
Heim is likely best known for his collaboration with the renowned ethnobotanist R. Gordon Wasson in studying the cultural significance of entheogenic mushrooms, particularly in indigenous Mesoamerican cultures. Heim and Wasson's work introduced psychedelic mushroom use to western culture via an article published in life magazine May 13 1957 titled “Seeking the Magic Mushroom”. That collaboration also led to the identification and classification of several species of psilocybin-containing mushrooms new to science, including
Psilocybe aztecorum, P. cordispora, P. fagicola, P. hoogshagenii, P. kumaenorum, P. mexicana, P. zapotecorum.

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) was an English writer and philosopher who’s bibliography spans nearly 50 books, though he remains most widely known for his 1932 novel “Brave New World”. Perhaps lesser known was Huxley’s role as an early advisor to Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert in their research work with psilocybin at Harvard in the 60s, before he later parted ways due to his differences with Leary. Possibly even more obscure is that Huxley’s grandfather was also a prominent biologist named Thomas Henry Huxley, who is credited with coining the word “agnostic” in 1869. A. Huxley was widely acknowledged as being one of the foremost intellectuals of his time, and he warned about society's susceptibility to persuasion and the tendency for politics to prioritize nationalism and power struggles over the more pressing ecological and humanitarian challenges we all face.
“By shifting our attention from the now completely irrelevant and anachronistic politic of nationalism and military power to the problems of the human species and the still inchoate politics of human ecology we shall be killing two birds with one stone -reducing the threat of sudden destruction by scientific war and at the same time reducing the threat of more gradual biological disaster.”

Crows are linked to death and the afterlife in many cultures. They are sometimes seen as psychopomps, guiding souls to the afterlife or serving as messengers between the living and the dead.
The crow is made from the spores of two gourmet edible species(golden oysters and wine caps), perched upon a flowering branch made from spores from 3 psychedelic species, surrounded by grain that is infected with ergot, the fungus responsible for both "St. Anthony's fire" and LSD. The branch is missing its leaf’s; waiting in vain for the only green spored mushroom, Chlorophyllum molybdites (aka the vomiter). Printed on and framed with a used cardboard pizza box, a substrate that is both a byproduct of human food consumption as well as one that could be consumed as food by the mycelium of the spores printed upon it if any of those spores were to germinate.
