THERE IS A HUGE GAP IN INFORMATION FOR PSYCHEDELIC FAMILIES,

so mothers of the mushroom research and resources project is calling on collaborators and community members to help build this bridge.

mothers and families deserve to know : are mushrooms safe in pregnancy, breastfeeding and postpartum?

A LITTLE ABOUT US

i'm mikaela de la myco and i act as a mushwomb educator, a mother, a community organizer, a researcher and resourcer of psychedelic families

three years ago, we released the entheogenic earth medicine assisted motherhood guide, a compassionate resource for psychedelic families

and now, people have been walking this path and the world deserves to know:

are mushrooms safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding? what are the benefits to mother and child of ingesting psilocybin mushrooms at any point in the gestational process?

ORIGINS OF THE PROJECT

as providers, we have found tremendous benefit in helping women & birthing people improve their pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience with psilocybin mushrooms

with guidance and initial inspiration from James Fadiman through through The Microdosing Institute, Naomi Tolson, known as the psychedelic doula and I, Mikaela de la Myco, creator of the mushWOMB , organized a survey to study what so many of us have been trying to get a finger on around mushrooms and motherhood

the mothers of the mushroom survey was born to help make a measurable change in the narrative that psilocybin during pre-conception, pregnancy, breastfeeding and postpartum causes harm, is not beneficial and should be largely avoided

MISSION

to conduct a citizen science research project by surveying mothers and birthing people who consumed psilocybin mushrooms throughout their motherhood (pre-conception, pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum) and parenting journey in order to accumulate a body of evidence for effects of psilocybin on birthing people, women and their children

knowing more about why birthing people choose psilocybin during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum and what were the results of that choice will help mothers and families for generations to come

VISION

to provide open-source, helpful and community-driven data for a seldom studied area in psychedelic research: mushrooms and mothers.

we aim to submit our findings into scientific journals and publish the findings publicly so mothers and families everywhere can access this much needed information and resources.

this is the first step in a long road of psychedelic research specific to gestational experiences, birth and child bearing.

WHAT WE'VE LEARNED SO FAR

here is some preliminary data we have collected far from mothers of the mushroom
