As We Journey...
Mycology is cumulative and works on various layers within the nervous system.This may bring different effects at different stages of your program. Daily factors such as stress levels, physical energy and output, as well as emotional currents will always interact with your program. Allow and observe. This is an integrated healing process. Any changes are insights into your personal evolution.
“Get smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with the eye of your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember…you are the medicine.”

Stamet's Protocol 1 - Mycology Psychology Protocol
Repeat for 3 months then pause for at least 2 weeks.
We recommend a 90-day protocol for maximum efficacy.
Step 1: Setting the Scene for Your First Experience
Every nervous system is different. Your response will be unique to your physiology and circumstance, which is why we recommend that for your first dose, you choose a relaxed day when you can opt to be at home.
3. Embracing the Change
You will remain functional and your body will adjust. Trust your nervous system to adapt to what it needs. This is an expanded state, and it may or may not feel like a departure from the everyday. We value this departure as an opportunity, through the lens of heightened sensitivity, for great healing.
2. Exploring the Effects
We suggest you allow yourself the opportunity to become familiar with the effects it will have on your body, your perceptions, and your general state of mind. You may or may not feel energetically activated, and may or may not feel a much greater perceptual sensitivity. Your senses and perceptions are expanding! This is the medicine doing its work with and for you.
5. Support and Healing
Your facilitating therapist is here to answer any and all questions in these sensitive moments. The important thing to know on this journey is that these secondary effects will subside. This is the medicine working with you. It is a method of healing that in its very essence does not suppress, but favors release: healing from the root.
4. Physical and Emotional Responses
We have become accustomed to a highly constricted, high-stress environment and rhythm in our day-to-day lives. This is the opening out of the repetition of that stress and constriction. If you are carrying a great deal of accumulated stress, you may feel tired during the first few days. We encourage you to rest and allow your body to adjust. It is also possible that you will feel energized, emotionally open and cognitively enhanced.
For new practitioners who have a lot of emotional content to integrate it is possible to feel a great rise in your emotions. In some cases, we could even characterize this as a manageable healing crisis. Your emotions may rise to the surface in a way that could feel overwhelming, and your perceptions of repressed feelings such as sadness, fear and anger may heighten. This is natural and normal! It is manageable healing and what is coming up is what is being released.

6. The Subtle Power of Intention
Mycology works on a subtle energy level within the subtle body. It carries within it an intelligent spirit and design. It is important to develop your own relationship with this intelligence and to clarify why you are doing this work and what it is for. Your intention will be fundamental to this type of deep holistic healing.
7. Trust and Surrender
Throughout your treatment, trust in the process, trust in the intelligence of the medicine and trust in yourself and what brought you here. Allow and observe. Most importantly, surrender.

Our Mycology
Here at Mycology Psychology, our team of mycologists grow different varieties of mushrooms whose concentrations measure at almost twice the potency of the more widely available strains. Food, wine, tea, coffee, and even cannabis, now strive to be of the highest quality and the most artisanal versions of themselves. We see this from organic farming to the most sophisticated cultivation technologies in nearly every contemporary agricultural practice. Mycology is no different, and we are at the forefront of that development. Our proprietary blends are of the highest quality.
Mycology Psychology is unique in that our therapeutic practitioners support you every step of the way. We have created medical-grade strains and blends that are unlike the mass-produced brands. Our blends are grown slowly and carefully by a master grower (mycologist). The controlled setting that we use optimizes the mushroom's purity, strength, and quality - using only the body or "fruit" of the fungi and not the mycelium. Why not the mycelium? Mycelium has a lower potency than the fruit body, and contains bacteria.
We have 30 years of hands-on scientific research and experience in mycology under our belt . Our state-of-the-art controlled cultivating system utilizes only the highest quality substrate and sterile environmental conditions. Our finely-tuned, genetically engineered spliced spores come from around the world and contain unparalleled power and potency. Our proprietary blends are customized for specific needs that range from treatment of anxiety, depression, and addiction to increased focus, and performance.
INTERACTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
It is recommended to consult your practitioner if you are wanting to work with other plant medicines during the program. This is so there is clarity in the action of this specific mycology and your nervous system.
​
Keep in mind that the neuroplasticity available to you during your protocol is an opportunity to work with your relationship with other substances, such as cannabis, alcohol, nicotine, etc. It is safe to consume alcohol in moderation while on your protocol, although your motivation to do so may change. If you are consuming cannabis, it is recommended to take your Mycology Psychology blend beforehand, giving yourself time to experience the dose on its own before experiencing their interaction.
​
We have found no supportive studies to indicate that there are any contradictions with pharmacological medications outside of lithium.*
