Founder, Oakland Hyphae & Hyphae Cup
Founded Oakland Hyphae and the Hyphae Cup — the gold standard for branding and cultivation quality in U.S. psilocybin culture.
Biography
Reggie Harris is the founder of Oakland Hyphae and the Hyphae Cup, the most widely-respected potency and quality competition in the psilocybin space. Hyphae Cup results have shaped public understanding of strain potency variability, isolate genetics, and cultivation quality benchmarks.
Beyond the cup itself, Harris is the central node for Oakland's psilocybin culture and local branding — the person who connects underground cultivators with overground decriminalization-era organizations and brands. Oakland Hyphae operates as both event production company and cultural institution, embodying the Oakland psychedelic identity in a way no comparable Bay Area organization does.

If the psilocybin industry has a quality benchmark — what 'good cultivation' actually means in measurable potency terms — that benchmark exists because of the Hyphae Cup. Harris built that benchmark.
