In fact, the mushroom market pulled in over $53.7 billion in 2019 alone. Additionally, just this month, the medical mushroom company Cybin Corp recently announced closing Canada’s largest ever go-public financing in the psychedelic sector with gross proceeds totaling CDN $45 million.

The “Shroom Boom” Has Major Advantages Over the Cannabis “Green Rush”

Endearingly dubbed the “shroom boom”, the phenomenon is following a similar course to the “green rush” exhibited by cannabis–but with some major advantages. Most notably, when it comes to psilocybin, the body of scientific and clinical research far outweighs that of cannabis. The results from those studies also show remarkable promise in the treatment of serious mental illness, which is fueling significant investor interest. Additionally, the emerging psychedelic industry has drawn in major players and serious talent from the cannabis sector. Indeed, The Mushroom Conference spotlights many of these dignitaries, including Dustin Robinson of Mr. Psychedelic Law and founder of Mr. Cannabis Law, Del Potter of Aya Biosciences (advised at top cannabis and pharmaceutical companies) and Irie Selkirk, Chief Communications Officer for SheCann–a female focused medical cannabis advocacy group. These thought leaders bring forth a versatile skill set from the cannabis industry, giving the emerging mushroom sector a massive advantage over cannabis. All these wonderful thought leaders and many more will be featured at the upcoming conference.
