If your parents are ~50 they were born in the 60s or in the late 50s. So they were under 10 years old for most of the 60s That doesn't exactly give them an unbiased foundation of observation.

Perhaps the naivety of their youth accounts for you only hearing positives.

As an aspiring mycologist I'm stoked to see this AMA.

What is your take on the recent claims that most former medicinal research on Cordyceps sinensis was misidentified? I heard Stamets say in a talk several Chinese scientists withdrew peer reviewed papers after leaning of their misidentification involving endofungi which were symbiotic/parasitic of the cordyceps fungus.

I haven't heard anything since that talk in April 2013 but if anyone knew a Cordyceps spp. researcher would.

Thanks again for doing this!

I believe that is from his own website.
