The Spore Patch Ltd
Evidence publications and creative works are produced under the same imprint and held to different standards of truth. They are catalogued separately for that reason.
Evidence publications
Every grade, proposition and reference in these works must be defensible from the source literature.

Volume III of the nine-volume evidence audit turns to N,N-dimethyltryptamine: the endogenous question, the short intense human studies, the extended-state work, the measurement problems and the harms that trials struggle to count.
Creative works
Mythological and symbolic work shares a publisher and an interest in fungi with the evidence programme. It shares nothing else. It is never offered as scientific evidence, and the evidence programme is never offered as validation of it.
Creative work · Published
A separate creative work developed by The Spore Patch. It is mythological and symbolic in purpose and is held to different standards of truth from the evidence programme. It is never presented as scientific evidence, and the Atlas is never presented as validation of it.
Editorially separate. Held to different standards of truth from The Fungal Evidence Atlas, and published and maintained on its own site rather than within the evidence pages.
