Optimi Health Corp, a Canadian drug formulator, in May harvested 300kg of “magic mushrooms” at its licensed manufacturing plant in British Columbia under a contract for Mind Medicine Australia.

Psilocybin has been extracted from the mushrooms for processing and shipment to Australia under pharmaceutical-grade protocols.

“We’re not able to disclose exactly the dollar amount of these things, but it’s definitely enough where we’re excited,” Optimi Health co-founder and chief marketing officer Dane Stevens told AAP.
