From cradle to grave, life on Earth is an ever-entropic wild ride. But could psychedelics paradoxically be a means to ground and center ourselves here in the Upside Down? Jenna takes you on a journey not only through but to the end of time in this episode of birth, death and psychedelic agency.Today, we'll map out what happened to the psychedelic scene in America following the initial synthesis of LSD and the mushroom veledas from Maria Sabina in the mid-twentieth century to today as we pass through the event horizon of a mushroom boom of epic proportions.We will also take a turn down taboo lane and stop to draw parallels between our access and understanding of psychedelics to the likes of birthing and dying, as they fit somewhere between the intersections of life and death...before unearthing how the divine feminine ties them all together. Thanks for listening and don't forget to follow Future Mycelium on Instagram @mushroomaffirmations and @future.mycelium

Episode two of The Future Mycelium Podcast is teeming with golden nuggets of fungi facts. We're taking a trip down ancient shamanistic memory lane to trace the modern westerner's relationship with mushrooms, both psychedelic and not.Jenna traces back this history to ancient times while comparing and contrasting the shamanistic practices of amanita muscaria and psilocybin from Sibera to Mexico after etching out the varying perspectives of European counties' relationships to mushrooms.A linguistic thread is fleshed out in our globally shared terminology for mushrooms and what that says about our history and collective unconscious.Lastly we unearth the biography of Maria Sabina, Huatla De Jimenez' Wise Woman and Doctor who was responsible for sharing her nighttime mushroom veledas with the rest of the modern world.So sit back, relax and come down the rabbit hole, as things are never what they seem.

The world is in need of a new language, or perhaps the revival of an ancient one...one that speaks into existence a deep appreciation of and balance with nature. It can feel overwhelming to know what to do to fix the problems mankind has created in such a short amount of time, but we must know that there are solutions, many of them being mycological in nature.This is episode one of The Future Mycelium Podcast, hosted by Jenna Masomi, an American expat living in the Norwegian wilderness with a hyperfixation on all things fungi and mushrooms. Jenna takes you on an astral journey across space and time, charting a brief history of fungi on Earth and the human's early relationship to them.Some beginner-level terminology is introduced as well, making this a great starting point for anyone with a calling to learn about mushrooms, but feels a bit underwhelmed of where to start.The Future Mycelium Podcast is medicinal in nature, written in such a way to bring a deeper self-understanding to the listener and make them feel empowered in their existence alongside fungi and nature. Thank you for listening to this episode today.
