Legalize Mushrooms – Madre Mezcal

In Oaxaca there grows a variety of agave plants that can be used for making mezcal. Similarly, there are many types of mushrooms growing naturally nearby, making it one of the most biodiverse and highly sought after places to forage. Both agaves and fungi are intrinsic gifts from the earth and we believe that psilocybin mushrooms should be freely available for people to experience and explore. Below are three ways to get involved with mushrooms.

“I love bright ingredients and take a functional and seasonal approach to the foods and drinks I make. Since being in California, I’ve been inspired by the passion fruit – tart, bright, juicy and pairs oh so well with Rainbo’s mushroom infused maple syrup. I decided to experiment with mushrooms and passion fruit. Unconventional but why not? I also think the passion fruit seeds make for a fun drinking experience too.”
