First Foray of 2022, Dulzura

Hello Myco friends!

We held our first foray of the year this past sunny Sunday, where we explored a wonderful 40 acre property complete with an oak path creek, boulders and plenty of shade to satisfy any range of myco-enthusiast with the curiosity to explore.

Here are our proud  group photo for the day, a photo of some of the day’s finds, and the foray species list.

If you would like to see past foray species lists, please visit our Species List & Archive page here.

 

Thank you to all who came out to our first (and successful) foray of 2022.

Keep doing your rain dances!!

 

With our new team, we are now able to have a better presence on several platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Meetup and Youtube. Thank you for connecting with us on any of your preferred media and keep tuning in to SDMYCO.org.

We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on the first Monday of the month as well as the upcoming Fungus Fair on February 27!!!

SPEAKER BIO: 

Pat Murphy is a documentary filmmaker and professional film editor based in Los Angeles. He’s edited programs for major outlets like PBS, Showtime, and People magazine. As a producer, his films have been shown in museums, international film festivals, and in-studio on Channel 13 in New York City. His latest editing project is the critically acclaimed Showtime documentary, The One and Only Dick Gregory, about the legendary comedian and activist Dick Gregory. Pat started making Psychedelia in 2011, upon learning about the NYU Psilocybin Cancer Anxiety Study. He produced, financed, and distributed the film completely independently. Aside from filmmaking, he is an enthusiast for the outdoors, American history, and roots music.

Psychedelia Documentary:
The History and Science of Mystical Experience
COMING TO SAN DIEGO THEATER 2022!
The documentary chronicles the use of psychedelic substances in controlled research studies that began in the 1960s. The film tells the story of medical professionals who have re-introduced these compounds into a legal and growing field of study. It is a first-person account from a study on end-of-life anxiety exploring the profound, life-altering insights psychedelics induce in participants and what these insights might mean for society at large. There is a current expanding push to explore the efficacy of using psychedelics for several mental health disorders. Psychedelia has been independently shown at Telluride Mushroom Festival and at other local city events.
