The mushroom you see is one expression of a much larger, mostly hidden organism. From spore to mycelium to fruiting body.
The Genera That Produce Psilocybin: A Field Overview
Psilocybin is not the property of a single mushroom. It appears across several distinct genera that are only distantly related. We survey the main psilocybin-producing groups — Psilocybe, Panaeolus, Gymnopilus, Pluteus, and others — and explain what convergent evolution tells us.

The Fungal Life Cycle: From Spore to Spore
A mushroom is one brief moment in a longer story. We trace the complete life cycle of a fungus — spore, germination, mycelial growth, mating, fruiting, and dispersal — and explain the strange genetics that make fungi unlike plants or animals.
