🎉🎂Albert Hofmann was born in Switzerland on January 11, 1906. At Sandoz Labs, he worked on synthesizing active compounds from plants and fungi for pharmaceutical use. He first synthesized L*D in 1938, but its effects were discovered in 1943 after he revisited the compound and accidentally ingested a small amount. A few days later on April 19, 1943, he had the world's first intentional L*D trip when he ingested 250 micrograms experimentally. Hofmann went on to author hundreds of scientific papers and continued research on hallucinogenic substances leading to the isolation and synthesis of psilocin and psilocybin from magic mushrooms.🍄

P.S.A. We absolutely support the psychedelic movement however, it's important to know your source and stay safe. A lot of accounts have popped up to take advantage of people, especially those who are desperate for a solution to mental conditions. Psychedelics are very unpredictable, and the decision to use them should be considered carefully.

Mushrooms and plants share some characteristics but are also very different. You may have heard by analogy mycelium is like the roots of the mushroom. While this helps to clarify what is going on below the surface, in my mind it doesn't give justice to what mycelium is and what it does. In the next few posts, I will be unpacking more of the process of mushroom growth both in nature and in commercial cultivation.
