All the mushrooms in the study have the same growth pattern. I would document how open the cap was and if the veil was still in tact / partially in tact. There is a goldilocks period for picking mushrooms. But more importantly I'd make the huge investment in glass sample jars and desiccants. Especially if my last even worse written study went on and on about mushroom stability yet actually only showed that mushroom samples are wildly unstable when not kept fully dessicated because of botching sample handling in that study as well.

If there was any attempt to characterize active content for comparison purposes, the starting point would be harvesting at similar growth phases, then immediate desiccation and sample preservation. Testing old unpreserved samples is worthless beyond demonstrating presence of the active compounds. You can't not know if one sample degraded to 10% of original content and another sample degraded to 2% of original content and then make comparisons between them and imply there's relevance to fresh harvested samples. That's junk science.

This study is trash. Contents are variable yes, but this study was uncontrolled even for that.

This is an embarrassingly flawed study and shouldn't have been published. Samples are known to have rapid degradation, and weren't controlled for time since harvest or storage condition. Literally not one single magnitude content comparison in this entire study means anything at all.

Edit: figures this is another Alan Rockfeller study. Same guy that tried to do a shroom aging study using plastic bags and no environment control and buried that in an equally horribly written study. Who is peer reviewing this stuff? It should be professionally embarrassing at this point.

There is no world cup 2022. There's just a bunch of soulless athletes playing games in a slaver nation.

Turns out bipartisan detachment from reality can also result in refusal to engage in socio-political events which results in not experiencing the listed impacts other than dodging politics in non political venues.

Stuff like this has made politicized science into 99% bunk sorting and should be called out more forcefully in academics. This is a basic integrity failure that has become a norm.
