Terms of Service

By accessing Mycology Minded, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Educational content, not medical advice

All content on Mycology Minded is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Nothing on this site is intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice from a qualified healthcare provider.

Statements about the effects of mushrooms, supplements, or any other substance discussed here have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Products and content referenced on this site are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.

Psilocybin and controlled substances

Mycology Minded provides educational content on the legal status, scientific research, and policy landscape surrounding psilocybin and other psychedelics. We do not provide instructions for, encourage, or facilitate the acquisition, possession, or use of any controlled substance outside of legally regulated programs.

If you are interested in legal psilocybin therapy, refer to state-regulated programs (currently Oregon Psilocybin Services and Colorado Natural Medicine) or contact a licensed retreat provider.

Accuracy and updates

We make reasonable efforts to ensure information is accurate at the time of publication and to update content as new research becomes available. Despite this, the supplement and policy landscape changes quickly. You should not rely on this site as your sole source of information, and you assume responsibility for verifying anything you act on.

User-submitted content

Comments, contact form submissions, and any other content you submit to Mycology Minded may be quoted, edited for length and clarity, or published. By submitting, you grant us a non-exclusive license to use that content. Personal identifying information will not be published without consent.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Mycology Minded and its operators are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the site or any action you take based on information found here. You use this site at your own risk.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Alaska, United States. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Anchorage, Alaska.
