As someone who lives in Arizona and has experienced firsthand the breathtaking biodiversity hidden within our forests, I fully support recognizing Boletus barrowsii as our official state mushroom. It’s a species that reflects the quiet abundance of Arizona’s sky islands — surprising, resilient, and deeply rooted in our unique ecosystems. This designation would not only honor a mushroom native to our soil, but also promote science education, conservation, and appreciation for the hidden richness of our natural world.
Banning the sale of this product would force people with anxiety like me to source amanita from dubious sources. Sources which pose a significant risk of adulteration. One need only look to the rise of fentanyl laced cannabis to see the potential dangers of funneling previously law abiding citizens toward illegal and untaxed markets which they have no experience with. The Diamond Shroomz incident was unfortunate, however this fear mongering campaign only serves to drive sales toward far more dangerous and unregulatable markets. Furthermore, the poisonings appear to be isolated to the Diamond Shroomz brand, with little real implications regarding other brands. Many brands and distributors take pride in their products, exercising great care in the sourcing and creating of products. MN Ethnobotanicals for example. I believe that this smear campaign is backed entities with a vest interest in banning and defaming any substance not under the control of the medical industrial complex at large.
