Don’t know if it’s coincidence, but seeing so many fungus related posts, since The Last of Us TV show came out

I don't think it's that. The world is literally talking more about mushrooms. The collective conscious is fascinated with mushrooms atm.

Seems so to me. I know so many people interested in mushrooms of all kinds now. Especially over the past few years.

Mushrooms in general are pretty popular right now, so many people are microdosing them nowadays

I had my first ever shroom trip last year, followed by two more trips spaced out by a couple months, and they were all superb. Had some freaky moments but it was mostly all amazing and changed how I see the world a bit.

I hope as weed becomes legal and accepted in more parts of America, shrooms do too. I think the potential benefits for some folks are great. Massachusetts is working on it!
