Understanding where magic mushrooms grow naturally, as well as reenacting the climate they could thrive in, and imitating the substrate on which they grow are essential to cultivating them.

Stamets is an American mycologist, author, and advocate of medicinal fungi and mycoremediation. Stamets is the most respected mycologist in the world, especially when it comes down to studying magic mushrooms. The strain Psilocybe Azurescenes, for example, was actually discovered by Stamets and his colleague Jochen Gartz in 1995.
