About "PsiloSoma Project":
A first introduction of the project is available on the YouTube channel "NaturalMao" (https://youtu.be/EXenHwH_TF8) while more datailed informations are shared into the fundraising campaign on https://gogetfunding.com/support-the-psilosoma-research-and-divulgation-project/

I thank the contributors, fans, donors and interviewees for the magical experiences we have shared, we are sharing and will share in the future.
Nothing is superfluous and mapping is only one of the aspects of the "Psilosoma Project" in which I always invite everyone to participate, trusting that there will always be mushrooms for everyone (it is time for a change in the conservation paradigm, also following the international mycophilous experiences of the last 50 years).
If you have information to share or if you have dried specimens from the last season, in addition to ethnomycological research, I am organising chemical and genetic analyses so your contribution could advance this research in various fields.
It is only up to you to decide how to participate and interact with "PsiloSoma Project". You can do so through and the social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Reddit), through Inaturalist (interactive map) or directly through the shared email and telephone contacts.
Thank you and welcome
Best regards
Dr naturalist Fabio Mao Valletta @naturalmao
