I have not, but I would if I had the opportunity to do so. In fact, I did try growing my own mushrooms. Unfortunately, contamination ruined everything. I have not tried since as I know the spores had been released into the air in my house. I'd forgotten a wet dishcloth in my instant pot, and it started growing on that, too. It was particularly undesirable because they were contaminated with aspergillus flavus, which produces aflatoxin. I'm fairly certain the contamination originated with the popcorn kernals I used. Aspergillus flavus is very heat resistant, so the usual methods to sterilize (using heat or a pressure cooker) do not work.

The therapist is a bit square and was very against me trying psychedelics. She is very ignorant on the subject and persisted in her willful ignorance despite my attempts at educating her and pointing her in the direction of scholarly sources.

I still hope to try mushrooms at some point.
