Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Behind The Scenes at WNY Fungi Fest
Q: Tell us how you're approaching festival planning and what makes this event stand out.
We're creating a diverse program that blends workshops, performers, guided forays, and a healing village, all on-site at CamGround Adventures, with a strong emphasis on community and accessibility, including family involvement and local vendors.
Soren Shade: Taking On The DEA
Q: Why should mushroom entrepreneurs care about Sr-17018 and the DEA actions?
Because policy decisions about legal access, safety, and research affect the entire ecosystem—from research institutions to product development and consumer safety—creating a ripple effect that can either enable responsible innovation or push activity underground and into riskier markets.
Dori Lewis: The Colorado Regulated Psilocybin Therapy Landscape
Q: Why is experiential grounding important for clinicians you train at Elemental Psychedelics?
Experiential grounding helps clinicians understand the terrain clients traverse, supports safety and trust, and reduces risk by preventing overreliance on research literature alone; it emphasizes how personal lived experience informs compassionate guidance.
Dori Lewis: The Colorado Regulated Psilocybin Therapy Landscape
Q: Is Reflective Healing offering a one-day session or multi-day retreats, and what protocols do you offer?
Reflective Healing operates with flexible, client-tailored plans including prep and integration sessions; the exact structure depends on the individual's history, goals, and needs, with options for weekend retreats or longer engagements.
Skye Chilton: Real Mycelium
Q: Can you explain the difference between mycelium grown on grain versus liquid-fermented mycelium and why that matters for the label and the consumer?
Liquid fermentation yields pure mycelium with controlled levels of marker compounds like arinocene A, whereas grain-based fermentation can leave residual grain markers; this affects the product's chemistry, labeling, and perceived potency.
