Stamets

Migrated topic.
Great podcast.


Around 1:04:10, Stamets states, "mark my words, pay attention to baeocystin."

Does anyone have any hint about what exactly he might be referring to? Is there some new baeocystin research we really ought to hear about? Is it an even more powerful supporter of neurogenesis than psilocin?

Studying the Effects of Baeocystin.


I'm periodically looking for new research,
But

I have no real evidence beyond my own speculating/experience with some mushrooms that something inside me just screams baeocystin.

After my last trip (still have to sit a report) I'm convinced it has something to do with it being 4-ho-nmt, I'll also be investigating nMT further as well.
 
It would be very interesting to see what dephosphorylated norbaeocystin - which I like to refer to as "norbaeocin" - would do as it is a positional isomer of serotonin.

The reports about the activity of baeocystin seem to be contradictory and certain people have questioned the veracity of several of Gartz' claims. That said, I would be inclined to suspect that "baeocin" and "norbaeocin" do indeed present anomalous levels of activity.
 
According to this link, P. semilanceata has the highest percentage of baeocystin in relation to its total alkaloids (Studying the Effects of Baeocystin).

I remember reading somewhere that Stamets' favorite mushroom is P. semilanceata?

To me the magic of P. semilanceata appears to be of a higher order than that of P. cubensis.
