Yeah, this is the latest in a long line of multimedia objects that I've spent a foolish amount of time and energy curating that have something to do with fungi or mycology.

The research also transforms our understanding of fungus biology, a field known as mycology.

The authors' molecular work on type species is a major contribution to mycology because it establishes an authoritative foundation for all future work on Psilocybe diversity in taxonomy.

"I think there has been a cultural need for symbols of connection, for means of connection, and mycology has become a way to meet that need," Vandegrift said.

As an adult, she developed an interest in mycology, the study of mushrooms and other fungi.
