Today we travel to South Africa to sit down with Cullen Taylor Clark to talk about two species of Psilocybin mushrooms (Psilocybe ingeli and Psilocybe maluti) that were newly scientifically described first the first time. Cullen Taylor Clark, a citizen mycologist and co-author on this new paper, worked with Mamosebetsi Sethathi, a Mosotho traditional healer, to document the use of P. maluti (locally known as koae-ea-lekhoaba) in traditional healing practices. We dive into more ethnomycology instances in southern Africa from first hand stories, to cave art, and more.
