Greetings

My name is Arthur Hynes and I'm excited to share my story and journey with medicinal mushrooms. As a passionate advocate for natural health and wellness, I've spent years researching and experimenting with various mushroom species. I hope to inspire and educate others on the incredible benefits of these powerful fungi.

My Story

I first became mushroom obsessed following my first psilocybin journey many years ago. One result of that trip was that I wanted to learn about and learn to forage all kinds of mushrooms. Over the years, I have attended various mushroom-related classes and workshops and spent many hours in woods and fields hunting mushrooms and many hours studying books, articles and podcasts in the too-long off season about everything fungi. Lately, I listen to many podcasts about all things mushroom.

My efforts to grow mushrooms goes back to 1989 when I went to Puget Sound, Washington two years in a row and took 3 workshops with Paul Stamets. However mushroom growing was mainly put aside until recent years. In the last few years, I have studied and harvested medicinal mushrooms. In 2023, I began making and selling Vermont Funguy Tinctures, made from double extracts of key medicinal mushrooms used and studied for hundreds to thousands of years. The range of health benefits of the mushrooms I use in my tinctures is amazing. Helping people become and stay healthy is a passion of mine, as well as educating anyone who will listen about the many aspects and uses of fungi.

Photographer by vocation and avocation, of course I love photographing mushrooms. I happily count myself among the growing worldwide mycelial web of mushroom fanatics!
