Bett Williams' Wild Kindness about mushrooms is very well written, full of juicy prose and wild ideas..

Unraveling of a noble shroom endeavor: @julesevans writes a sensitive and thoughtful analysis of the collapse of Dutch psychedelic retreat coSynthesis Institute for the ever more necessary @lucidnewssite :
