And we played around with those for a couple of years, trying to figure out how to grow them. Finally, almost by accident, I figured out how to grow them. You know, and the initial very simple technique, growing these things out of mason jars and all that. Very simple.

I basically tried – there was a mycologist who worked for the USDA who published this paper in Mycologia, how you could grow small amounts of agaricus bisporus on sterilized substrates in mason jars for genetic research and that sort of thing. And I had the spores. I had the mycelium and I decided, well, give it a shot. Let's see if it works. And what do you know? It worked very well.

So suddenly mushrooms were back in our lives again. We had access to mushrooms and we were very happy about that. And we decided to publish this book, Psilocybin Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide. which is still available, and we published it, and it got a lot of notice. And now, of course, there are lots of simpler, better ways to grow mushrooms.

But it was a simple technique that almost anybody could do. And we published this book and it got a lot of notice. So people say, what was the real impact of our trip to La Charrera? That was the impact. This had a tangible effect on society because it brought mushrooms basically within the reach of anyone.

Anyone with a bit of patience and a spare room could grow lots of mushrooms if they wanted to. And we did. And those mushrooms got out there. The book got out there. So that was – that had a social impact. Nothing supernatural about it. or anything. We sort of stumbled on this method and we shared that method.

And that's had a big impact because at that period, you know, psychedelics were not popular. Psychedelics were, you know, very much oppressed by the government and a lot of people were scared. People that were really interested had a way to, as Terrence sometimes, as he once said, just a simple way to get great dope out of mason jars. And people did. And it kept them sort of alive and alive.

and people's attention so then later when clinicians and people like that decided that they're wanted to you know start working with psychedelics mushrooms were obviously the one to the one to to use because because in some ways mushrooms are the ideal psychedelic right more than lsd or mescaline or some of these things more than dmt more than dmt why is that
