This fucking rules. I’m jealous of the high level of mental databases you’re both able to store and call upon. Can’t wait for more content w/ Alan the collab is always must see
I read the description before seeing the whole thing, here's a somewhat on-topic comment: In the Florentine Codex, there's a chapter focused on mushrooms, some them hallucinogenic, the one known as teonanácatl (“flesh of the Gods” [quite possibly the Psilocybe mexicana] was highly valued and use for different rites, nowadays, as you surely know, some folks just wanna' get all crazy with em' for the vibes. As far as I'm aware, in places such as Acaxochitlán, Hidalgo, women have passed on the knowledge of identifying, recollecting & cooking all kinds of edible shrooms from generation to generation (most likely for more than 500 years), sadly, climate change has made the rainy season less humid which has gravely affected their foraging, alongside that, some authorities don't allow them to profit off of their hard work when they try to get some money for their family's well-being: they take away their baskets full of mushrooms and they throw them away to the garbage. Unbeknownst to you or not, videos such as yours help preserve this type of ancestral knowledge that was once pretty valued and that is sadly being lost since it's mainly knowledge passed orally; thank you for appreciating the wonders that Mexico has to offer and thank you for being so thorough and respectful about how you go about talking about all of this.
Yes! I am zuni, and we have so many oral traditions that havent ever been written, and the elders are dying out without passing on that knowledge because the newer generations havent learned the language because of assimilation and whatnot. Many of these traditions include the foraging of species of medicinal plants, edible plants, fungi, and even theories about domestication of wild crops. Our creation myth even accounts for the creation of fossils. Although by supernatural means, it Shows that we understood that we came from the life before us even at that time. “The world before man was wet and muddy, with monsters of webbed feet and slimy skin roamed the land, the rainbow twins new that if this place were to be habitable to man, it must dry out. So when they shone their rainbow down on the earth, the planet dried and the monsters turned into sand and stone” “And when we emerged from the earth as grain, it was from a special grain picked by the mother. She cared for us with water and sun, and waited until we were ready to find our home.”
@@Kiu_8 you can edit and keep the heart I've done it before. Getting a lot of likes on a comment and them changing what it originally said can be funny.
I've been waiting on this since Alan posted his picture on Facebook. You two are fuckin amazing, thank you both for sharing your vast knowledge of our wonderful natural world.
My dad traveled to San José del Pacifico In Oaxaca where Zapotec people still forage and use psilosybe mushrooms ritually. I believe that’s where Maria Sabina the curandera lived and scientists found psilosybe cubensis and brought it to the US to study. I traveled there recently and it’s pretty much just overrun with hippies now and just an area for psychedelic tourism. Still gorgeous and a very special place.
Maria Sabina is from near Huautla de Jiménez, a different mountain range. It also still sees some tourism but San Jose del Pacífico really channelled the tourism.
Braving the sketchiest terrain to bring botany, geology, AND mycology? Well, I’m grateful as fuck. I can’t stop being entranced by each little slice of habitat you show, and the story it tells about evolution in the language of regional morphology.
Your depth of knowledge and understanding blows me away every time I watch your content. Einstein said “I have no special talent, I am only passionately curious.” Your level of curiosity is pure genius. Thank you for inspiring curiosity in all of us lucky enough to discover the shit you put out. Sorry, I couldn’t resist a little “Santore lingo” there. Love you, Brother!
Barring the human trash, I feel like I've been taken on a tour through Fairyland. Thank you for sharing this with those of us who will never have such an opportunity. Just beautiful.
¡Bienvenido a México Joey! Los mexicanos vivimos en un paraíso, y muchos no nos damos cuenta, es una lástima que hayas encontrado tanta basura. Muchas gracias por mostrarnos nuestro propio país.
I believe these are the spores Alan gave me a swab of at the mushroom classroom in Denver last Saturday. They are currently on agar. Thank you sir! Mush appreciated! It was an honor to meet Alan. It was on my bucket list! He has a plethora of myco knowledge!
Very well done sir!! My botany professor in college was the shit! The class was college of the desert in palm desert, ca. He was tall as fuck and ruled his class with an iron fist in an empathetic way. Don’t know how else to describe him. Tough as nails but always willing help out when you were stuck. Not quite a gentle giant or a teddy bear but supportive as hell. I really enjoyed it! He took us on a 3 day trip to the Grand Canyon where we camped and hiked down to the last plateau before phantom ranch and then back up. The trip was a 3 day education on every single plant ftom the top down to the bottom. We did the hike and learning part of the day and then he took us to the store where he said to “get what we need” to hang out in the campsite for about 4 hrs and then we would go to dinner. Luckily we had a 21 yo with us. Before he dropped us off at the campsite he told us sternly that if there is news from the campsite we would leave that night snd we would fail this part of the class. Needless to say we put a good buzz on and behaved. Toward the end of the class he pulled me into his office and told me that either i knock off the antics in class or i was gonna fail. I ended up kickin ass and doing really well. Great great guy!!! Never forget him!! What a cool channel you’ve got here sir!! Thank you for taking us along Professor!
my favourite ever video of yours mate. Love it. Something extra special about pschedelic fungi. They always look so beautiful and grow in such magical places.
Love the production Joey, you had me laughing in the intro. Thanks for chapping your ass for our amusement. Damn if that Cuphea doesn't look just like the one I bought 2 years ago & have been propagating for the hummers. Some expensive 4" but I've made several from it.
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn’t take my life when i was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, I’m doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."
I have been looking for good measurement tools to assess people's reasons/motivations for using psychedelics but have not had any luck finding validated or reliable measures... does anyone have suggestions or leads? I can't wait to try any of them.
Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. They drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quit illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had become medically dangerous to quit.
@free man I've always wanted to trip but am so scared it might end up bad.. I've heard a story of how a trip went bad so am so terrified of having one..
@@Neto37375 There are breathing exercises and meditation techniques you can do before taking psychedelics. Set and Settings are so important meaning your MINDSET and setting where you'll be tripping. The more comfortable and relaxed you are prior the smoother and insightful the experience Will be..
So happy that you are doing more stuff together with Alan! ❤ I love these fungi and am interested in working with em / studying them, have spores of many of these exotics. Btw afaik the blue compounds are oligomers and the polymers are more muddy dark/black, but.. Semantics.
I love how u can tell that u had a rly good time bc of the especially polite and nice extended outro compared to the more abrupt suddenly-it’s-over gfy-bye of most of ur other videos lol
Man I'm glad this guy gets the views deserved. This passion is infectious. I once had a beautiful dream vision of people like flowers and pollinating each other. Real special Vision.
Hey joe, I want to take you to a special place here in Mexico City. Big plant market. It could be a crazy video, i think. It has a sad part, as theres usually lots of poached cacti. Nevertheless could be interesting to document it as you sometimes do.
👍YES I've been waiting for a video from Alan ever since he mentioned this species and the landslide aspect of their life cycle . Didn't know ide get a video from my favorite dirty mouthed youtuber with it 😃
what mind blowing documentation! Thanks you so much for sharing what a lot of us could never have the chance to see for ourselves. Not to mention surviving possible flash floods and climbing falls - you guys rule! :) --complete Alice in Wonderland hike!
Always love yours and Rockefeller's content! Fascinating about the insect polymer in the psilocybin fungi! My question is why the fungus would wany to get rid of the insects because it would seem the insects would help propagate the spores?
Seen plenty of slugs eating gills of cubies in FL.so as a insect repellent seems to be mild .but maybe no gills would survive long enough with out some chemical defense .this explains non trippy bluing reactions in boleets but they always have bugs unless picked young
Fungus question: If the *forgot the name* stuff forms a polymere, does it work in a similar way to superglue? Does the polymere clog up the insect's organs or is it more like a regular poison, but activated inside the insect?

As a fruiting amateur mycologist I always appreciate the mushy vids with Alan
Alan rules. It's such a treat to get a video with Alan and some brilliant fungi. I can't help it. I just wanna eat em
You should visit El Cielo biosphere reservation in Tamaulipas, such a beautiful ecosystem!
Wonderful mealtime video after a day of gardening. Thanks buddy, you do some good work.
would be very interesting to see you guys sample these for another video
Tbh, Tony seems like he’s trippin’ baIIs (to one degree or another) in every video. 😂
"Landslide Mushrooms of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt" sounds like the morning after a night of heavy drinking and bad ceviche.
Mexico, botany, mycology, Joey AND Alan?!!
I goddamn LOVE the mushroom content! What a mystery to me but Alan is such a fountain of knowledge!
Love the fungi focused videos.
what was that in the dirt at 23:33 that lit up pink under the black light?
I saw that also. Definitely looked to be some type of fungus on that piece of wood. 👍
Banger video banger mushrooms and plants ly keep it up tony
The way you use the scientific names is so fun.
I really appreciate you calling out some of the pseudo-scientific bs that plagues the psychedelic community.

Yes! Awesome.
More videos with alan!
This is great! Allan is so likeable, he has all balls in his field of play if you know what i mean;)
That was awesome & interesting. Quite the crazy adventure! Hope you did not get too itchy & got the oils cleaned off quick.

How do they get on the oak tree?
Maybe they didn't evolve for us but the fact they exist has helped me!
Such beautiful mushrooms! I hope you took photographs made me want to draw them😁
Happy trails Joey.
Always love yours and Rockefeller's content! Fascinating about the insect polymer in the psilocybin fungi! My question is why the fungus would wany to get rid of the insects because it would seem the insects would help propagate the spores?
The insects they're defending against are things like maggots and slugs that would eat it before it can sporulate!
Seen plenty of slugs eating gills of cubies in FL.so as a insect repellent seems to be mild .but maybe no gills would survive long enough with out some chemical defense .this explains non trippy bluing reactions in boleets but they always have bugs unless picked young
I want to hang out with you and Alan some spring in Ovoid country, we could go to Amish land.
Brilliant episode, Tone!
