Remember Stamets owns a company that sells a lot of these fungal medicinal products, so I would question his impartiality when making any scientific claims.

- dguaraglia 6y agoI'd agree about that when it comes to most of the 'supplement' side of his fungi business. I'm a bit less skeptical when it comes to this particular application regarding bees: it seems like a pretty easy thing to test and is likely more regulated than the supplements business. I guess at the end of the day I want to believe there's a solid solution for colony collapse, otherwise we might be screwed.
- z3ncyberpunk 6y agoHis impartial claims are apparently fine for the CDC and US govt. Plenty of his work is literally evidenced in his ted talks.
- WalterSear 6y agoHis relationship with the company is more damning than that: his commercial supplements are well known for containing very little of the active ingredients he is associated with. It's a cash grab.
