Understanding fungi from substrate to soul.
Welcome to the The Psilocybin Cup! A three day weekend unconference for mycology and plant medicine enthusiasts looking to deepen their awareness, allyship, and relationship with the plant, fungi, and entheogen communities.
Three days of talks about all things plant medicine, from activism, to science, to harm reduction and more.
Advocates and Allies: Sit in on conversations covering decriminalization vs legalization: what’s the difference, and why it matters, equity and representation in psychedelics, and allyship, community and activism in plant medicine.

Caps or Stems: Which is more potent?
The anchor of this event is our potency testing competition which is the first and only of its kind. Here at Oakland Hyphae, we’ve collected data from some of the best cultivators in the world, with results released to the public on 4/20. Our goal is to spark deabte and inspire informed conversation backed by science.
No fluff, just results.
"We have been running potency tests so we can answer common questions and have smarter conversations on fungi medicine."
