Alan recently returned from five months of collecting in Mexico with extensive field work in the states of Jalisco, Colima, Michoacan, District Federal, Morelos, Puebla, Veracruz and Oaxaca.

[@juliap1965]

Wowzers I'm so glad this came in my thread ❤️

[@shannonreonazalma3275]

Great video, I could listen to Alan all day.

[@Holy_hand-grenade]

[@92bellea]

Glad I found this. I thought it had been deleted.

[@m.i.c.h.o]

Wow. He has my dream job

[@skratchvideos4968]

I really like this.

[@auditpress.crypto]

very nice alan, respect

[@bmattox1987]

Awesome a new video

[@deborahprovo3779]

u r super cool alan

[@crabsrice5600]

I live in Tepoztlán and in the mountains behind my house there’s thousands of shrooms

[@johnbrown1314]

Fantastic photography......I'm thinking if Alan put these photographs into one huge volume I would most certainly purchase a copy. One question, what delineates a Mexican hippie from any other local inhabitant?

[@barbarabroeske1061]

Kinda racist

[@twigscampi3943]

They eat Psilocybes

[@commiecrusher]

@@barbarabroeske1061 no it isn't racism. That term gets thrown around too much. By the way this comment is 6 years old. I doubt he cares about your opinion

[@danielcuevas5899]

@@commiecrusher There is a bit of a micro aggression in that comment. You wouldn’t ask that question if it were in the context of the U.S of Europe. It imply’s that said local inhabitants are nothing but zoned out drug users.

[@interestandfun9190]

Awesome

[@theespecialrecordsshow]

mind blown

[@FunFunFunFun963]

im interested to know more about the cordyceps expert in mexico you mentioned, if its posible i would like to know his name.

[@joshuabolin4440]

Cool vid. How do all those different psilocybes compare to the common cubensis in potency?

[@DVFDrinkOrDie]

cubensis is relatively weak as psilocybe's go. I don't even think it makes the top 10

[@stephenbrennan4508]

Tin foil absorbed light I would suggest white paint or actual reflective material

[@shopersecret5245]

What marketplaces you talking about?

[@bryangoldsby3706]

Very interesting. Just curios as to why the non psilocybin producing psilocybe genus is still considered a psilocybe. What other characteristics would determine that "psilocybe" label.

[@theresnospo0n]

Chemical compositions of species aren't that important. They can differ a lot within a given genus. Psilocybe isn't the only genus that produces psilocybin and psilocin either. There are seven more different genera that can have them. Psilocybe was just the first to be studied in detail among psilocybin containing mushrooms. He said the inactive psilocybe is a close relative of the liberty cap genetically. That is what matters most.

[@horton9623]

thank u

[@asifhamid9676]

Awesome dear fb friend

[@starwarsstarwarz2054]

Used eat these in Mexico

[@aldifajarrachman2787]

i learn so much of his knowledge about mushrooms in fb until my account was shutdown by my gf.

[@jaggedbrain]

is he related to the famous rockefeller family ?

[@defaultName-gw1vg]

No he is not

[@holyglitch1126]

It's an alias

[@FunFunFunFun963]

why does everyone laughs at amanita rubescens?

[@boscorner]

Cuz it looks ugly to them i guess. When alan said it tastes good someone in the audience said "you can have them all to yourself" or something like that

[@DanielWilliams-oi4ss]

$4/lb for morels...That's absurdly cheap.
