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 compounded by chronic gaiaphilia. This curious condition, which turned out to be permanent and quite stimulating, led him to write a number of unorthodox books - including The Psilocybin Solution (2011) and Darwin's Unfinished Business (2012). He also felt compelled to write and direct two radical film documentaries: Manna and Metanoia. Links to all these media and more can be found via the tabs on the main menu bar above.

Simon is currently working on a new book entitled Mushroom Fever: A Remarkable Psychedelic Condition.
