Portland Tribune | 04.27.23 | by: Joseph Gallivan
Portland mom, Tori Armbrust of Satori Farms PDX, spearheads psilocybin mushroom farming, one tote at a time. Her business is now licensed to grow mushrooms for their psychedelic value, but Armbrust has been teaching about growing edible mushrooms for restaurants and home cooking for six years. When voters approved Measure 109 in 2020, the state gave stakeholders — therapists, medical professionals, neo-shamen — two years to come up with rules on how legal psilocybin would be utilized.

Oregon turns on, tunes in to the power of magic mushrooms
Tori Armbrust grows magic mushrooms. Not secretly or furtively, but commercially. Because in the western US state of Oregon, it's legal. Anywhere else in the United States "I would get in big trouble for this, 1,000 percent," she laughs. From this year, licensed growers like Armbrust have been able to sell what the Aztecs called the "flesh of the gods" to centers offering psychedelic therapy sessions, a legalization that proponents say could offer real help to people struggling with psychological problems.
