Reggie Harris has consulted with the largest mushroom cultivators in the world. He has worked with the largest cultivators in The Netherlands and has recently advised in the establishment of the largest commercial mushroom farm and state of the art testing lab in Jamaica. Over the past 3.5 years, Reggie has established Oakland Hyphae which hosted the Psilocybin Cup now known as the Hyphae Cup and a number of Psychedelic Conferences across the country, which were the most impactful psychedelic events in the space. He is a co-founder of Hyphae Labs, which is leading the industry in psychedelic mushroom potency testing. Reggie has also founded Hyphae Nootropics, offering adaptogenic medicinal fungi from Cordyceps to Lion’s Mane. Reggie is a strong advocate for who he calls, “the little guy” or the “legacy plant medicine workers” whose perspective he uplifts through his publication, HyphaeLeaks. It is Reggie’s goal to create barriers of entry to prevent big money interest groups from the same industry take over they did in cannabis. Ultimately, he aims to protect the legacy plant medicine workers from corporate vultures.
