After graduating from UCL in 1992, Simon G. Powell suffered an extended bout of ‘mushroom fever’ brought on by excessive psilocybin use. After this ‘mushroom fever’ subsided, he was left with a case of chronic biophilia. This curious condition, which turned out to be permanent and quite stimulating, led him to write a number of unorthodox books –The Psilocybin Solution (2011), Darwin’s Unfinished Business (2012) and Magic Mushroom Explorer (2015). Links to the books are at the top of this page. He also felt compelled to write and direct three radical film documentaries: Manna (2003), Metanoia (2007), and Moksha Medicine (2016). Below are various other videos detailing his work. Find all of his videos here.
