- In this video I had the honor of filming Alan Rockefeller, world class citizen mycologist and leading mushroom expert. He gave this talk on day 2 of the 2022 Costal Fungi Symposium near Oysterville, WA in late October of 2022. The lecture was given from a tent in the cold, but in my opinion one of his best talks ever.
Alan travels the world studying mushrooms of all types. He is a master with a microscope and an amazing photographer. His photos are featured as many of the main photos on Wikipedia. His name is all over modern day mushroom papers and he is a regular ID'er on Inaturalist with over 100,000 identifications.
He is immensely generous with his knowledge and just wants to share what he knows with the world and asked He will even tell you where his favorite picking spot is, down to the coordinates. The world is a better place because of guys like him.

Psychedelic therapy is just one of those great leaps in the mental health space. It’s wonderful and the fact they serve recreational use and health as well.
Yes!! Heard of dr_xzavier?
Sure!!! dr_xzavier.
dr_xzavier has been my mycologist for some time now.
Psychedelics tend to fix problems at their core,unlike modern medicine which tries to fix the symptoms. This is why psychedelics work great for depression,addiction etc.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Yes, Doctor.coxx
Yes he is.. Doctor.coxx
Can Doctor.coxx send to me in OH?
Psilocyben help me get off a lot of stress...
I have suffered with CPTSD and major depressive disorder for 25 years. I've tried nearly every antidepressants and gained over 100lbs on them and they don't even work. I no longer trust the pharmaceutical companies or the prescribing doctors. I am looking into natural God given cures from now on.
“None of the mushrooms that contain psilocybin also contain poisonous compounds” this can only mean one thing..... we were meant to eat them. 😊
This statement/fact should be discussed by people smarter than I.
@Orthodox Church of the FSM of Latter-day Pirates or its a process of evolution on this planet.....who knows...
Psilocybin or the chemicals it breaks down into might just be as effective as the poisonous compounds found in other mushrooms as an insect/animal deterrent, or maybe it serves a different purpose completely
But what if animals eat them lmfao
Uhhhh I would not be so sure of that one bud
Let's just take a second to see that Alan isn't using notes. He's truly an incredible person
They sell the best shrooms, dmt, lsd and other psychedelic products and ship discreetly to any location of the world 🍄🌍
Maybe he Can't Read?
Ever thunk aboot that?
Smarty pants McSchoolman
He has no problems with massive information retention and recall. His demeanor is calm and unshakable. Obviously the mushrooms have damaged his brain.
“Sometimes a little brain damage helps”- George Carlin
I'm a mushroom 🍄, we don't need notes
Psilocybin mushrooms are just filled with so many health benefits. Psilocybin treatment actually saved me from depression and excessive alcohol use. Saved my life.
After doing some research on the psilocybin benefits, I honestly want to get into shroom microdosing but it's just so hard to get a reliable source. Really need!
Hey! Yes I'm very sure of Dr.benshrooms. what's helped me more personally is micro dosing. I don't take a lot at all I'll only eat a cap or two and I'm good for the entire day. It just helps to clear your mind and cleanse your soul. Very hard to explain... It's like trying to explain colors to a person who's never been able to see.
I've done microdosing for help and it works does cut depression out its been the best remedy I've ever had psilocybin been illegal is actually a crime against humanity
How can i find Dr.benshroomxs? Is he on instgram
Sure he's dr.benshrooms
Alan never ceases to amaze me. His knowledge of and love for mushrooms is hard to imagine. We are lucky he shares his passion with us so freely. Appreciate you posting this.

Can u send me a list ov wots available plz😂
Psilocybin containing mushroom saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. it has also helped me to survive depression
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again again but it’s just so hard to source out of there.
I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across bergwilly1, a very intelligent mycologist.He saved my life honestly
I’m feeling the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety level. I am so glad to be part of this community.
Is he on inSta?
Does bergwilly1 ship ?
Back in the 1970s I came across a patch of Psilocybe baeocystis. I was able to pick about 2 lb of them. I went downtown trying to trade them for $10 Grateful Dead ticket, but I had no success. I guess I had eaten about an ounce of them, and was feeling very good. They did not look like the typical psilocybin people were familiar with. I ended up giving away about 2 lb to the people waiting in line for the concert. I never did get into the show, but I had a great time standing near the stage door enjoying the music!
I can imagine you made some people very happy that night, good tunes and mushrooms - sounds like great times
If you picked em fresh and didn't spend the time drying them out you gotta eat 10-12X the weight to have the same affect. 40 grams of fresh mushroom is about the same effect as 3.5 grams of dried mushrooms.
Omg I would have given you 10 bucks and extra for snacks drinks just for being very kind and giving them away to everyone ❤
I'm in Ohio I want to find the wild magic mushrooms . I've never tried or seen one. ❤
Most people don't trust fresh mushrooms because they are under informed about them. I would have dried them and saved them lol
Babe, wake up, new Alan Rockefeller talk just dropped
Rs
I met Alan at Midwest Mushroom Camp at Circle Pines Center, and as a noobie, had no idea he was so popular here on youtube. He was gracious and had a plethora of knowledge. Had the privilege of going on a foray with him and getting a few photography tips. Thanks Alan!
literally staggering. (get it?) thanks Alan. no one was harmed in the making of this video.
Science and fungi. Amazing!
When picking psilocybin mushrooms pick every species you see 🤣 brilliant!
Great talk, and also great work by whoever was behind the camera to get a good view of each mushroom as he’s talking about it 👍🏻
Top notch delivery of information!
Awesome man!! Leading the way!! Thank you!!
This video is vital to the community. Very special work and thanks for uploading it!

Bots, Jesus.
It's not this guy is a shill
I’ve learned quite a few things from this channel.
Me to. Isn't it awesome! I love it!!!
The Big Little Island of Britain and Ireland has some VERY specific and Unique Myco goodness.
I WISH some of these amazing Americans would come and tell us how to Pronounce.. SilloSsiBeeeeee
Most mycologists do seem to pronounce it like: *sih-LAH-sih-bee*
the man deserves an award
Thanks again, Alan! So insightful
That was a lot of information so succinctly. And eloquently delivered.
Thanks for filming this. He sure covered a lot of ground in a half hour.
Brilliant! More please 🤩
I just recently discovered Alan Rockefeller and I wish I had heard about this lecture. I would have made my way to it. I live 2 minutes from oysterville. makes me so sad
i live in oysterville and didn't hear about the lecture rip
I know ovoids grow in my local wood's here in NE Tennessee, and suspect another similar species as well, but watching this I realize that there's very likely other's which I've found and not identified or did not realize contained psilocybin. There's some really cool fungi out there. I live in a shitty apartment just for access to the forest. Love the forest.
You probably have Psilocybe caerulipes in your area and a few of the psilocybin containing Gymnopilus species also.
Do you know if the ovoids come up to wv?been wondering herd they do but not sure where would you look for them at or how to tell the difference, found ones that look almost identical but didn't blue ,acual pinked some ,wasn't sure I didn't risk it
@@jimmystargel6203 They grow commonly in WV, closer to Ohio. They prefer floodplains of rivers and streams and grow near boxelder and Japanese knotweed. They rarely grow directly on logs, more commonly they'll grow out of mulch or the roots of boxelders. The cap tends to have a little knob, and if they're older will be wavy like cyans. The caps can also look greenish or blueish too. Bruising should always be blue but if you're unsure take a sporeprint, this should be purple. The best time to look is mid-April, and they're supposedly pickier about seasonality, though people have found them in the fall. I would go out and look in springtime after a good long rain.
After having so much experience with cubensis it's strange to see how few of the other psylocybe species have a pronounced veil or a veil at all. Cubensis usually take their time dropping the veil but all the pictures I've seen of wild north American ones they don't have them unfortunately although I've found plenty of flushes of what I thought might be psylocybe species while trekking around the Virginia woods none of them have bruised blue. I always wonder if you squish some of the blue onto your hand and lick it would that be like taking a microdose 🤔 some of the psilocin has to come out when you squeeze them.
I also live in NE TN and never thought I would ever be so desperate for relief from major depression that I would be willing to go hunting for mushrooms for relief. I'm that desperate.
Love wild magic North American, especially PNW mushrooms. I learned to cultivate them outdoors, which I see becoming more popular in gardens in the future. Or even bringing them indoors. Alan I really appreciate your work. I've done some research on other psilocybes but some of these are still all new, and I'm sure there's plenty more to discover. As our society warms up to the psychedelic culture, there's just so much potential to come out of it!
When I got my horticulture certificate, I was shocked how much information involving mycology was left out. Mushrooms are commonly encountered and play a crucial role in healthy ecosystems and landscapes.
Great talk! It took me a while to figure out what you were referencing when you kept calling “AGAR” auger. Auger’s are for drilling, agar’s are for growing.
Great presentation! Thanks.
Just to add...P. baeocystis has been found in Western Maine, associated with beech tree habitat.
Thanks for sharing!
Big fan of Alan and his wisdom.
Love the videos. Ty
Thank you for sharing this.
You are an amazing wealth of knowledge, information, and education! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, sir!
Mush ❤ Love and thanks for sharing this clip 👍
Thank you for sharing this fantastic presentation!!!
this gentleman is second to none!
Finally I found a vid of in the pnw looking for psilocybin mushrooms
@@MrBlueTimes wym call the vape shops 😭😂
I have so much admiration for his passion 😍
Great specimens in Oklahoma I think most people don't know just how special and great they are one love fam cubie
Fellow okie in okc. Was thinking about hunting some, do you know what species to look for around here.
How cool would it be to have people send you mushrooms in the mail. I may have found my calling MUSHROOMS BABY!
@Mycotenn_
My favourite part of psilocybin mushrooms is that they are free. I’ve saved so much money that I would’ve usually spent on weed or even alcohol. All it take is a 10 minute walk to find them growing in the right season
I'm just now learning about this stuff! I hope I still have some time to find some before the cold settles in 🙏🏾
Even if im pretty sure of the mushroom ive found im still afraid to try it. So many are so similar.
What do you as a guide to figure out the good from poisonous mushrooms?
Very awesome video and informative
Getting me confident thank you both for so much information
Great talk!
Yes, I saw you in the videos of crime pays but botany doesn't, I was waiting to see some of your discoveries in the trip to Mexico. Always glad to see the mushroom nerds getting in the way taking photos around 😂.
@Loveth how do you get a hold of him
Love Allen & Joey together, what a blast!
A person in the audience asked whether _P. cubensis_ absolutely requires manure. I'm guessing they were interested in growing. In fact, most people who grow _P. cubensis_ do not use manure. They inoculate sterilized grains, then introduce the colonized grains to a mostly non-nutritious bulk substrate mix consisting mostly of coco coir that has been pasteurized and hydrated. The grains provide most all the nutrition, and the coco coir provides some structure for the mycelia.
Such a good talk!
@Loveth you can buy them down at the grow store. It is easy.
Awesome information!
I'll be mushroom hunting this spring here in one of Alberta's national parks.
love ur channel
Wow... This is good to know. Thank you.
Thank you🙏💜
Thanks!
I was able to find some coastal matsutake last week didn't see any porcini or azzies though. I love when people find and clean their mushrooms and don't hide the evidence, thanks for the new patches!
THe _P. azurescens_ probably need another couple weeks at least. It just recently started raining, and had been dry and unseasonably warm.

@@cacogenicist yeah, no shit. God forbid I look while I'm already at the coast. Trying to update people on TH-cam that maybe can't get around to checking areas or possibly don't know as much information. Have you heard of microclimates? Maybe a cove or area that has more moisture might produce a fruit or two? Nah that could never happen! Keep googling for info instead of actually exploring and experiencing the outdoors.
@@your_eulogy2688 - Fuckin grumpy, aren't we.
Great info. I'm in Alaska. I will keep an eye out.
This was really interesting, I dont know much about fungi but im sure some of those he found in Mexico I have seen growing in my yard in central Maryland. Much love ❤️
would love to trail alan on some ventures
he is truly fascinating
Alan and his mailbox 📬 😄
Man, I wanna know what kinda mailbox he has.
Shroomer humor 👍
Awesome👍
Well, I'm impressed. Amazed, actually.
Gratitude to the "'channel.:
My daughter and I saw y'all out hunting at a park here earlier this week. Alan is amazing. Thanks for the content man, is there going to be another one of these next year?
Yes there is as far as I know!🍄🤙
I live in cape Town I haven't found one psilocybin mushroom. Thanks Allan great job and representation.
@Eric Lawrence I mean in the wild.
Perfect timing 3rd!
mind blown
WELL ... I'M HOOKED.
Now I want to know more about the mushroom 🍄 would. Want to know when & where to find them. In the northern heartland.
We give the best delivery. And the best services.
Oh yea Allen i have found a P. Azurescens at the bottom of a steep slope by a stream in a residential area of Renton Washington. I know it sounds weird. It was all by itself.
What a legend
@Loveth OK fed
Top notch
I have never met Alan, just an amazing and very helpful person when I needed identification for a mushroom I found, turned out to be P. alenii.
Enigma is a mutant. I worked on a cubensis for a while, I only worked with it's spores. I was selecting for darker caps & bluing also for more stocky mushrooms. I ended up getting some conjoined twins & working with them. After a while I was getting more in each tub. After that I started getting puffballs & big clusters all stuck together with no caps. Those clusters then started to fan out looking just like enigma. I've almost had every mutant you can imagine from just one strain. The only mutant I didn't get was an albino lol.
I actually tried a nigma for the first time a couple days ago very potent lasted a long time
Baeos were my first psilocybe I ever found. After finding them once that year they were everywhere, in lawns, under bushes, on woodchips. And I believe the trips were the strongest I usually ate like 5 small mushrooms. This was over 10 years ago though and I haven't found more than 2 tiny baeos since. However 10 years later that patch was still active.
I have met and had a conversation with this guy. Can't remember where. But that's cool very intelligent guy
Always remember.."Flick it before you Pick it"..
This is so cool !! I live in western PA and I'd be thrilled to stumble upon these. Does anyone had any experience with psilocybe caeruleorhiza does in monotubs?
Thank you for posting this! I really wanted to go to the symposium but couldn’t afford the $250. I was up there foraging though and ran into some of the group. Thanks so much!

When will Alan release a field guide/book?
What a funguy
Obviously an authority on the subject.
I was surprised by how many of these grow in PA...
a side by side comparison of the deadly Galerina and the wood lover Psilocyb would be amazing. I'm really hoping to find some this year where in at in NW Washington. This would be extremely helpful and could save lives so I hope you see this. Thanks for the video. You and Allan rock! I watch everything you guys put out.
I'm gonna be looking really soon and I'm also a bit worried about galerina, too my understanding the main way to tell them apart is the galerina's rusty brown spore print and lack of bluing reaction.
@@thebrodybiss1466 right on. Yeah it only takes a little to kill ya, so I definitely want to make sure. I REALLY hope to find some good patches now that it FINALLY started raining for the first time this week in over 2.5 months
@@AnxiousStacker Yeah man I've been waiting for this rain for so long 😂 I've been out scouting a lot of places that I thought had potential and now that the rain showed up I'm excited to check them out.
@@thebrodybiss1466 True, you can tell them apart that way, definitively.
Also, once you've held a confirmed _P. cyanescens_ or relative ( _allenii,_ _azurescens,_ _subaeruginosa,_ ) in your hands, you won't confuse them if you're at all observant. They feel different; wood-lover Psilocybe have relatively rugged little fruits. They are a different color. The hygrophanous caps of those Psilocybe are distinctive. The stipes look different. They just don't look alike, except superficially.
When I've found _Galerina_ in wood chip beds, almost always they've been fruiting on a chunk of branch -- right on a larger chunk of wood than those wood-lovers will.
Thanks🍄🤙 I posted a video last year about Galerina growing amongst the native Psilocybe pelliculosa and it was deemed "dangerous" and was removed. The only 'warning' on my channel😕 seemed to me to be a valuable piece of information. 🤷
Any East coast symposiums happening?
Where might I get a test kit? I’m in Straya but they are here too
Alan is obviously an authority on fungi, but I would never feel comfortable picking in the wild myself. I would love to observe fungi in the wild with a solid mycologist
Phenomenal information! I had no idea there was a species of Pluteus with active psilocybin!
Psilocybin containing mushrooms save my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit
Tripping is not really bad but find a good mycologist Who will teach you the right things you need to know
came across the comments about myco_louiis and I must say he is a genius.
How did it go? Is this person reliable? I’m in the same boat as you. I want so bad to try it.
Does he ship?
Merci
I had a great book on them one time. There were also mosses that grew out of trees that were trippy. Anyone ever used any of these? Or the one called big and little laughing johns? Ones big ones little both look the same.
🍄 Alan Seems Like A "Fun Guy" ;) 🍄
How to get him to come up to Atlantic Canada...
We don't get enough focus in the old identification guides.
Fungi-TASTIC🍄
The Rockefellers have come down in the world.
I need to figure out how to get bacteria to transfer the psilocybin gene cluster to my toenails. They grow so fast and thick I clip em every week. I could grind em up and use them as seasoning for cooking.😄
I've been studying/hunting magic mushrooms as a hobby for over forty years and when it comes to knowledge of psilocybin containing species, Alan is the best Imo. One of the nicest and humblest experts also.
Thanks for posting this video. It was very informative and inspiring.

Holy crap, I want some _P. caeruleorhiza_ spores. Absolutely must get some.
Hit up 👆👆been micro dosing for 6 months now helped me through anxiety and depression.
You've received good amount of offers :D
@@gregorteply9034 - Sadly, none of these spammers have _P. caeruleorhiza_ :)
@@cacogenicist It's not very common, I guess.
I’m so envious
Oh, Oysterville, Washington.
I wish I had photos of our fields in the past....10 acres with caps as far as you could see 😲😊 twas a LONG/SHORT summer
The foil spore prints ♻️♥️🧐
does the age of an magic mushroom when picked affect its effects?sleepy vs.energizing?
informative
Any besides laughing gyms in Massachusetts? And where should I look?
They grow all over my property....they go when the Sun rise's they just melt... Kinda Cool
YES.
TO THE BEACH BOD!
