About
NYU Mycology Group is a New York University student organization conducting mushroom walks (in partnership with the New York Mycological Society), workshops on tinctures and DNA barcoding, and lectures. The group serves as an academic pipeline for next-generation mycologists and psychedelic researchers — a rare example of a major U.S. university hosting a student mycology organization with strong community partnerships.
Why It Matters
Where universities are involved (NYU Mycology Group, UM Psychedelic Center, UT Austin McGill Center), psychedelic communities are stronger and more credible. NYU is the East Coast academic anchor.
