I listened to this while preparing for and sitting in a trans-atlantic flight and I loved the whole thing. Paul Stamets verges on cuckoo and it only seems to add to his charm!

Incredible podcast. Super interesting to see somebody so completely soaked into a single topic.

Ammusingly, Paul Stamets is the name of a scientist in the newest star trek series. He is an astro-mycologist and apparently they named him for this real scientist.

  Paul Stamets is a fascinating person. You're right, the Star Trek character is named after him [0]. I remember hearing, perhaps in the Joe Rogan podcast, that he consulted for the show. He has a brilliant TED talk on the world-changing potential of fungi research [1].

    The comment you are responding to says that.

      So long as we're correcting people, no. The comment in question says "apparently" the character was named after him. Someone replied that was in fact the case. Then you came along and shamed the person for confirming it.

        for what is worth the parent comment I responded to was: "Ammusingly, Paul Stamets is the name of a scientist in the newest star trek series." The clarification was added afterwards, but who cares. if people want to downvote me, go ahead :)

  He's also a primary "character" in Michael Pollan's book "How To Change Your Mind", on psychadelic mushrooms and LSD (which I'm about halfway through). Pollan has a pretty funny relationship with him -- almost like "frenemies".

He seems like a fun guy.

Stamets' book, Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World [0] is very good, and his enthusiasm is definitely contagious. I will check out the podcast, thought tbh Joe Rogan is pretty hit or miss for me.
