We're sharing a special preview of an exclusive Backstage Pass Ask Me Anything with mycologist and author, Paul Stamets. Paul answers your most fascinating questions: from why different mushroom species affect our mood and anxiety, to how mycelial networks shape ecosystems, to whether psilocybin could enhance perception, creativity, or even telepathy. He also opens up about his own life practices, the experience that changed his relationship to fear, and how fungi may be guiding us toward a deeper understanding of the unseen world.
