WONDER SUMMIT 2026 — November 2–9, aboard a private expedition ship into the Brazilian Amazon.
We’re celebrating 40 years of MAPS — four decades bringing psychedelics into medicine and healing. Seven nights aboard a ship on the sacred waters of the Brazilian rainforest, where Indigenous wisdom keepers, ancient medicines, and cutting-edge psychedelic science converge. The Amazon is the largest living network on the planet — a vast, breathing web of fungal and ecological intelligence. A teaspoon of Amazonian soil can hold some 400 species of fungi, and barely 1–2% have ever been identified. Every step here is uncharted territory.
DR. RICK DOBLIN — founder of MAPS
DR. PAMELA KRYSKOW — psychedelic therapy researcher
DR. MARK PLOTKIN — ethnobotanist, Amazon Conservation Team
THE YAWANAWA NATION — Peû Yawanawa with singers Nawashahu, Ykashahu, and Xinãyura
CHIEF NINAWA HUNI KUIN — hereditary chief and physician
NORMAN OHLER — author of Blitzed and Tripped
LUCY WALKER — filmmaker, How to Change Your Mind
FRANKKO VIVO — artist and musician
ADRIAN JUSDANIS of NEW THOUSAND — live-looping violin
Expect the unexpected: hidden waterways and forest trails, pink dolphins at golden hour, piranha in their natural habitat, and time with the people who have guarded this rainforest for generations.
100 guests.
All private balcony suites. Two pools, daily wellness, spa, all meals and drinks.
Cabins from $10,999 pp

This is not a cruise. This is an epic journey into the indigenous wisdom of the rainforest.

It’s oyster mushroom season, and they’re fruiting abundantly right now!
These remarkable mushrooms grow on a wide range of trees and typically fruit in both spring and fall. If you find them growing on a tree in the spring, it’s worth returning in the fall for another harvest.
Beyond being delicious and easy to cultivate, oyster mushrooms are extraordinary decomposers. They produce enzymes that break down cellulose, making them valuable allies in mycoremediation, helping break down environmental toxins.
One of their more surprising talents? They can stun and consume nematodes (tiny worms), helping them acquire nutrients and build protein. They also produce water as they digest their substrates!
For more on the remarkable potential of oyster mushrooms, see my book Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World.

What a wonderful weekend in Vancouver at the Spirit Plant Medicine Conference! (@spirit_plant_medicine)
Always a pleasure to share my research and that of others on psilocybin. Psilocybin access is emerging as a Freedom for Thought issue: a fundamental human right protected under the Canadian Constitution. Will the United States follow Canada’s lead? Which side of history will you be on? Psilocybin not only has health benefits, but leads to a more civil, healthier society.

Many thanks to the organizers and everyone who joined us. Until next time!

Just in time for Halloween!
Meet Hydnellum peckii, also known as the Bleeding Tooth Fungus. This bizarre mushroom is easily recognizable by its pale cap and bright red droplets that resemble blood. The red liquid is actually the result of a process called guttation, where the fungus releases excess moisture. While not known to be poisonous, these mushrooms are considered inedible due to their intensely bitter taste!
A spooky spectacle from the fungal kingdom!

What if the forest isn’t a collection of individuals, but a community? 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊🌲🌐🍄
Fungi invite us to look closer, walk gentler, and remember that life is shaped by relationships.

Now that fall is in full swing, keep an eye out for one of my favorite mushrooms, the Shaggy Mane (Coprinus comatus)!
These fascinating fungi are known as “inky caps” because their gills gradually dissolve into a black, spore-rich liquid, sometimes in just a matter of hours. They are also remarkably powerful and even known to push their way through asphalt as they emerge!
Shaggy Manes are relatively easy to identify with their tall, cylindrical caps covered in shaggy white scales. But they don’t stick around for long! If you plan to harvest them for the table, timing is everything as they begin to liquefy shortly after maturity.
You can read more about these remarkable mushrooms in my book Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World (page 221).

Some medical ideas feel new because the science around them is new. Others begin with rediscovering something older.
In his 2011 TEDMED Talk, Paul Stamets argues that mushrooms deserve serious attention as sources of potential medicines and points to a much longer history of people recognizing their medicinal value.

@PaulStamets grew up exploring forests in Ohio, but it was the old-growth forests of Washington state that changed the scale of what he thought was possible—towering trees, moss-covered landscapes, and mushrooms…everywhere!
That sense of wonder has stayed with him ever since, shaping more than 45 years of work studying fungi and mycelium.
Explore how that lifelong fascination helped inform the Host Defense® supplement line at @HostDefense. 🍄🟫🌐🔬

Treating mycelium and fruiting bodies like competing ingredients oversimplifies the biology. Mushrooms are made of mycelium.
So when you’re choosing a premium mushroom supplement, the best question isn’t “mycelium or fruiting body?” It’s:
How and where is the mycelium cultivated?
What nutrients does it digest and transform?
How is the finished ingredient tested for quality and purity?
Learn how Host Defense® grows, ferments, and tests our mushroom ingredients at HostDefense.com.
Fruiting body cultivation often requires different growing conditions. The fruiting bodies shown here are grown on a sawdust-based, nutrient-rich substrate, while the mycelium in Host Defense® supplements is cultivated separately through a food-safe process called solid-state fermentation, designed to support a broad spectrum of naturally occurring beneficial compounds.*
