SUMMARY:MMS Webinar "Teonanácatl" by Paul Kroeger
DESCRIPTION:Join Manitoba Mushroom Society at 7:00 pm Central Time on 2026 December 12 for a webinar by Paul Kroeger about “Teonanácatl. Psilocybin-containing ‘Magic Mushrooms’: History and modern use in British Columbia”. \nThis presentation provides a brief introduction to the Magic Mushrooms\, discussing their ancient use\, rediscovery in Mexico in the mid-twentieth century\, and their early discovery and role in BC’s counter-culture and that legacy in the present day. I reflect upon their mixed impact on modern society\, why they became prohibited and how they may yet become valued medicines. \nPaul Kroeger (Bio) \nPaul Kroeger has studied mushrooms for over fifty years and is a founding member of the Vancouver Mycological Society (VMS). Paul served as President of VMS for a few years\, and is currently President of The Pacific Northwest Key Council.  He is a major contributor to the mycological herbarium collections in the Beaty Biodiversity Museum at UBC and also contributed significant collections to DAOM Herbarium in Ottawa and DAVFP Herbarium in Victoria. He is a regular consultant for the British Columbia Drug and Poison Information Centre\, and various other agencies concerned with mushroom poisonings and fungi in human and animal health. He coauthored\, with Bryce Kendrick\, Oluna Ceska and Christine Roberts\, “The Outer Spores: Mushrooms of Haida Gwaii” published in 2012 based on a five-year study. \nRegistration is free for Society Members\, post-secondary students\, NAMA Members and members of myco clubs that have a club membership with NAMA.\nYou must register using  THIS FORM.\n\nRegistration closes noon Central Time 2026 December 11.\nOn December 11 you will be emailed a zoom link to the webinar and the meeting location.\n\nInformation collected about you will be confidential to the Manitoba Mushroom Society for the purposes of administering this webinar and will not be used for marketing or other purposes.\nPlease note that the MMS does not condone or promote the use of “Magic Mushrooms”\, this presentation is informational with respect to their history and effects on humans.
