MAMALI Mycology Research Institute

This is club members favorite day. Members meet and greet in person or online to discuss projects, tips, questions, comments, concerns and/or ideas promoting mycology research. Pictures, cooking, arts and crafts are common.

As mycelium consumes filth and waste, we too decided that getting rid of trash is our thing.

We show pride in our community by picking up tires & bulk items that litter our streets. The mushroom universe is always watching and it rewards us in many ways for doing this.

As citizen scientists, we photograph, identify and catalog mushroom species wherever we find them with the use of a social network app for sharing biodiversity information to help people learn about and identify nature.

Fungi, mycelium, hyphae or just spores in the growing phase provide a remedy for restoring, reversing or stopping environmental damage. By creating certain digestive enzymes, mushrooms make the bad; good. They address the environmental pollutants and then they redress, repurpose those nutrients in soils.

This natural, efficient way to recycle soils of pathogens, contaminants and pollutants to produce a water retaining, healthy, alive, restored ecosystems is one way we are bringing awareness to the world. With gunny or burlap sacks filled with straw and oyster mushroom spawn we help industries with water run-off problems or soil remediation needs.

We Love Mushrooms and we are discovering that people of all ages and backgrounds do too. Thus, we want to show the world the power of these fungal ecological relationships. This project hopes to help others discover ; though hands on learning and activities rather than the use of formal teaching methods. More than just growing mushrooms for food and medicine, our mission is to introduce the scientific literature to the masses. Our goal is to share the benefits, uses and nutrients of a variety of mushroom species as a way of personal empowerment for home, health and family.

In June 2021, A Texas House Bill 1802 relating to a study evaluating the use of alternative therapies for treating certain mental health and other medical conditions was enacted. The study evaluates the therapeutic efficacy of alternative therapies, including psilocybin, in the treatment of mental health and other medical conditions, including: depression; anxiety; PTSD; bipolar disorder; chronic pain; and migraines. Mushroom Molly is reaching out to those conducting this study described to connect Veterans who are interested in this new alternative therapy. Along with adding those interested to our live database, we hope to fund Veterans who get chosen with expenses paid to participate in this study.
