Terms of Use
The conditions under which The Spore Patch Ltd publishes this material and the terms on which it may be used.
Nature of the material
This site carries two distinct kinds of work, published to different standards of truth: evidence work, and creative work. Creative works, including The Spore Oracle, are works of imagination and make no factual or medical claim.
The Fungal Evidence Atlas evaluates published evidence and the quality, ownership and transferability of scientific claims. It is not medical advice and should not be used as a substitute for diagnosis, treatment or guidance from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Accuracy and revision
Grades and statements reflect the evidence assessed at the time of publication and may be revised. Revisions are published on the Corrections & Transparency page rather than applied silently.

No product endorsement
Nothing on this site constitutes an endorsement of any supplement, extract or commercial preparation. Where the Atlas records evidence belonging to a specific defined preparation, that record belongs to the preparation tested and does not transfer to products sold under the same common name.
