Talk:Paul Stamets

Source đź“ť

2713:. Sorry I am new to Wiki edits, and posted my response in the wrong section of Talk. I was searching for Paul Stamet, and was a bit shocked to see him listed as just an American Businessman in his introduction, when his life's work has been in the field of Mycology. The Cambridge Dictionary definition of a mycologist is; "a person who studies mycology (=the science of fungi). For over 40 years Paul Stamets has indeed studied fungi, cultivated mushrooms ( and patented new cultivation techniques) , worked with numerous reputable institutions researching fungi, holds several mycological based patents, has discovered and named several mushrooms, is referenced in many distinguished journals and articles as a mycologist, and has been referenced by many current academically and amateurly trained mycologist as their inspiration in the field. I would not simply leave this argument claiming Paul Staments is in fact a practicing mycologist, I would argue that he is the preeminent mycologist in the United States. If you are going to contend that Paul Staments is not a mycologist, please edit Jane Goodall's wiki page as well. By the logic of those opposing Staments as a mycologist, Goodall is not a primatologist or anthropologist as stated in her wiki. Who arbitrates this dispute? I also think whomever changed my edit has something against Mr Stamets. Listing him as a businessman instead of an author, entrepreneur, speaker, and Mycologist seems to have a negative connotation the way it is written. I think a review is in order and call for a resolution. Clearly, the vast majority of people on this thread list Mr Stamets as a Mycologist. -- 3645:
wholesale deletion of another editor's work is harsh, callous, and disrespectful, not to mention lazy. The senior editor in question gives the impression that their seniority, and perhaps their long-term interest in the topic at hand, gives them overarching authority over what can and cannot be included in this article, which of course is not how Knowledge (XXG) is supposed to operate. The editor also mentioned more than once (a discussion took place on both our user talk pages) that Stamets' credentials as a mycologist were questionable, and generally made their distaste for the individual known. Stamets' credibility aside, this is an instance of non-impartial editorial activity, in my opinion, as if disputed or contentious content had no place on Knowledge (XXG) as long as enough editors agreed it was such, and it gives the impression that since Stamets may not conform to mainstream scientific or research protocols in the field of mycology, perhaps even verging on deception, his profile should be as brief as possible so as not to seem to be promotional (should we then also transform the pages of Deepak Chopra and Dr. Oz into stubs for fear that a lengthy and unnecessarily detail-heavy article lends them undue credibility?!). Lastly, I would like to point out that this type of callous and lazy editorial oversight has a discouraging effect on other editors, certainly less experienced or perhaps less dedicated ones, and when a "senior editor" behaves in this manner, how is one to feel as if the "little guy" has any chance to improve an article that is so closely guarded by mean and inflexible guardians?
2028:"Mycologist" is a title without professional or legal regulation. We have reasons to restrict use of the terms "physician", "lawyer", "professor", and similar to those people who get the institutional recognition which those titles imply. In contrast, all sorts of people are mycologists, so we do not need to restrict use of the term. Even if there were restricts, Stamets has an unusually prominent public image as a mycologist. I lived in Seattle in the 2000s and Stamets was a regular at all sorts of events in that region in that era where he spoke on the topic of mycology. The region has a culture of presenting pop science conferences and he was a regular presenter at those. There are many mycological societies in the region, and for example everyone at the Puget Sound Mycological Society where I was a member knew of him and his works and the fact that he lived close and so frequently spoke on mycology. To the extent that there is a culture of mycology, Stamets has been the biggest contemporary name in the field for the longest amount of time, especially in the popular perception and public visibility. I would expect that no one has presented on the topic of mycology at more conferences and public scheduled events than Stamets. Most of this was in the era just before online documentation. If all this happened now the online media record would be easier to find. 3173:'But most of what Paul sees has eventually been accepted by outside groups. He definitely points us in the right direction' ... A couple of years ago Stamets partnered with Battelle, a major player in the bioremediation industry, on an experiment conducted on a site owned by the Washington State Department of Transportation in Bellingham. Diesel oil had contaminated the site, which the mycoremediation team inoculated with strains of oyster mycelia that Stamets had collected from old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest. Two other bioremediation teams, one using bacteria, the other using engineered bacteria, were also given sections of the contaminated soil to test. Lo and behold. After four weeks, oyster mushrooms up to 12 inches in diameter had formed on the mycoremediated soil. After eight weeks, 95 percent of the hydrocarbons had broken down, and the soil was deemed nontoxic and suitable for use in WSDOT highway landscaping." 3928:
article that Mr Stamets is a scientist. There are also no indirect references to any credentials and attributes, such as education and academically recognized works in the field of mycology etc, that would give any objective ground to state that Stamets is a scientist. Yet, there may, perhaps, be enough enough evidence to claim that Mr Stamets is a popularizer, publicist and, perhaps, and activist dedicating his time and works to drawing public attention to the subject of fungi, its potential for the society and economics, and to the importance of advancing scientific research in the field of mycology (all those are good activities, but they have little to do with being a scientist in mycology, that is "MYCOLOGIST" as the first section of the Wiki article claims altogether unsubstantiatedly)
1848:, for each of some 45 other "Host Defense®" mushroom products), none of which is proven by science or approved by the FDA. It's just a scam of made up nonsense sales-speak to impress upon unwary consumers that the self-described "mycologist" - whom consumers visiting his business site are asked to trust before surrendering their money - has discovered and proven all these countless health benefits of mushroom extracts or powders. He has not, and no one has. A true degree-holding mycologist wouldn't engage in reckless lying to scam consumers. Reviewing his business website and seeing the scam is why I came to this article and challenged his title of "mycologist". -- 3877:
get included in it should not come down to your diktat. Now I'm being accused of edit warring because I made a second edit?! This is nonsense, and @Ronz I believe you have not been impartial. Why not accuse Zefr of edit warring as well? I'm leaving this article alone because it's not worth my time and frustration, but savvy readers can see this nonsense conflict if they look at the edit history and talk page, and as I mentioned before, not only does this demonstrate a highly unprofessional precedent to Knowledge (XXG) readers and editors, but it discourages editors from going against "senior editors" because clearly there is a hierarchy of power at work here.
2887:
minimum study mycology is curious. There is no need to describe him as an amaturer mycologist. Clearly, Paul Stamets is a professional in the area of mycology. The education section speaks for itself. It is absolutely incredible that someone like Paul Stamets has risen to his stature in the field of mycology without an advanced degree. Let us not forget the other great scientists who lacked an advanced degree such as Charles Darwin, Thomas Edison (who only had 3 months of high school), Jane Goodall (which was mentioned above), and countless more. This is silly now. I agree with the above post that this needs resolved.
3168:"A former logger turned scanning-electron microscopist, Stamets is not your typical scientist -- a role he obviously relishes ... 'He's the most creative thinker I know,' says Dr. Donald Abrams, the assistant director of the AIDS program at San Francisco General Hospital and a professor of clinical medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. Abrams says he became interested in the medicinal properties of mushrooms after hearing one of Stamets' lectures. Stamets is now a co-investigator on a grant proposal Abrams is authoring on the anti-HIV properties of oyster mushrooms. 1547:- While I understand while some would consider the use of the term wrong, since he doesn't have a degree, I think the word can be used due to his extensive work in the field. His lack of credential could be, should be and actually is mentioned in the article, however. Describing him as a "self-taught mycologist" sounds pretty good and immediately gives the general idea. On the other hand "self-taught botanist on mushroom topics" sound horrible and just makes it seem that whoever wrote that paragraph doesn't know the word "mycologist" and had to improvise. 2152:
reputable institution, peer-reviewed publishing in quality journals, competitive grants with concrete outcomes, promotion to higher ranks, international respect from peers in the same discipline. Do we know if the international community of professional mycologists sees Stamets as a peer mycologist? There's no evidence that they do, especially if having reviewed the blatant fraud of false health claims on his business website and bizarre delusions in his speeches, both of which disaffirm his credibility and title as a scientist or mycologist.
481: 453: 617: 586: 2774:), does not translate to well established consensus. This is something that could have been fixed without a sudden RfC too given how little discussion occurred in the above section. Normally it's better to wait at least more than 24 hours before an RfC while others watching can comment with other ideas tackling the issue. Usually that negates the need for an RfC in the first place, or else it gives developed ideas for people to comment on for a good RfC comparison if it's actually needed. 421: 491: 397: 1866:
mushroom spawn, maintain a sterile environment to prevent contamination, etc., some of these aspects literally require a laboratory environment, and repeatable refined practices are necessary. I would say that if there are concerns about some of the health claims that Stamets makes, then that deserves some space in the article. But while some perspectives may be fringe or controversial, that doesn't make him any less of a mycologist ... that may make him a somewhat
627: 760: 2868:- Stamets became the first-ever recipient of the Mycology Society of America's Gordon and Tina Wasson Award. Named after the late preeminent ethnomycologists, the award is intended “to recognize people with non-traditional academic backgrounds who have made outstanding contributions to the field of mycology, or who have widely transmitted significant scientific or aesthetic knowledge about fungi to the general public. 2942:
entrepreneurial, and it is clear from the rest of the article that Stamets runs a business focused on mushroom products. 'Largely self-taught mycologist' is more focused, and that wording is close to what Michael Pollan wrote, but in my opinion no qualifiers are necessary as the nature of his study and business are made clear in the article and we can reasonably expect our readers to read more than a single sentence.
817: 792: 956: 2378:
typically restrained to trained academics possessing advanced degrees in a scientific field and doing empirical work at an independent research institution does run the risk of bootstrapping the credibility of the subject some. So either further discussion of any controversial statements the man may have made in his relationship to the field might be necessary if we are to label him with said formal title.

includes the names of pyramid schemes, cults, hate groups, and various other objectionable structures in the articles of people involved. Naming the company does not have anything to do with professional mycologists or scientists, or their approval or acceptance. The company sells, among other things, home mushroom growing kits and hats with mushroom graphics on them.
557: 1077:: Respectfully, the sources you provided and those public news reports in the article do not rigorously address Stamets' credentials, and probably heard it from Stamets himself upon introduction or from his reputation as a "mushroom expert", which he may be, but not by academic or scientific achievement, which would be earned by the rigorous achievement of a 467: 2384:
the awkwardly titled "Mushroom interest" section) is not thereafter removed, and also to keep an eye on any claims relating to scientific topics which may arise in the article in the future. Context is important here, and while I appreciate the straightforward RfC prompt here, I think we need to be careful of not losing site of the forest for the trees.
2125:
titles like "mycologist", "biologist", "scientist"?. If any sources call a person "mycologist", then why challenge them when the term does not have a deep or formal meaning? You seem to be framing this as a discussion about the regulation of a title. If this is not about regulating the use of the title, then what are the important issues here?
345: 1378:
definition of a mycologist, "a person who studies mycology (=the science of fungi)", set forth in the Cambridge University Dictionary, it is apparent that Stamets falls within the category of mycologist. But, again, I do agree with your point about the gold standard sources who also consider him a mycologist.

2670:. I think it would be better to write "self-taught mycologist" rather than leaving the impression that he is an academically trained mycologist. ("Amateur mycologist" appears incorrect as he has a related business.) But he has clearly published on mushrooms; that is enough to make him a mycologist, to me. — 4087:
I updated the section "Personal Life", which had a single sentence that was factually incorrect: "Stamets is married to Carolyn "Dusty" Yao." With referenced sources I updated the year they were married and the year they were divorced. I also added information about Stamets' first marriage, from an

Knowledge (XXG) does not need to assess the company's merits to mention it. The 'burden of proof' is that company exists. This is easily proven and sourced.

says so. The question this RfC really should have boiled down to if it wasn't started prematurely is whether there's any legitimate reason to include calling him a mycologist in the article itself. So far, there isn't anything that tries to justify that other than saying sources exist, which violates
1678:
policy is very clear that being sourced isn't enough. Not to mention that Nature itself doesn't say what you claim. Barbara Kiser writing for them was reviewing a book that just namedrops Stamets. That's barely a tangential look at his credentials, so we can't really be making a statement that Nature

What I found here is that we should just swap the article for the talk page.

In the first lines of the first section it says without any references or factual substantiation that Paul Stamets is "mycologist", which is a scientist engaged in, in this case, in a branch of natural science of biology, namely mycology). Nor does it follows from all the subsequent sections of the

As far as I am concerned the "mycologist" discussion should be closed. There are only three in opposition (principle active opposition from Ronz and Zefr) and ~sixteen with support. We have citations from Nature, Discover, NY Times, NPR, etc. supporting the term "mycologist" which is merely somebody
2472:
There's something more at stake here than just deciding whether Stamets can be called a mycologist. Reviewing several videos of his speeches reveals a brilliant mind and memory, extensive knowledge of mushroom species, charisma, arrogance, fast talking, and evangelist-like persuasion of the audience
2412:
You partly summarize why this RfC is moot. It doesn't address specific content, and it was launched before a content-specific question could be crafted in normal discussion to fine-tune language. Even with that in mind, we've already moved beyond the question of whether to call him a mycologist with

However, again, even better would be to look at specific wording relating to how the title is applied.

Your ideology that the words "scientist" and "mycologist" describe a narrow band of institutionally-granted titles has really no bearing on Knowledge (XXG). He's a scientist and a mycologist because (a) he engages in those activities and (b) because sources call him a mycologist and a scientist. No

Fungi Perfecti is mentioned in multiple RS sources that discuss Stamets. The company name appears in 3+ NYTimes articles, and in several other publications used as refs here. Including a company or organization name that has been discussed in reliable sources is neither endorsement nor advertising.

It's a tough call, I have to say. As a general matter, I think its problematic to include a title which imparts to the reader an implication of a certain degree of formal training in an empirical biological field where no such formal education and traditional credentials exist. On the other hand,

This is becoming quite ridiculous. @Zefr, you are acting like an absolute bully, reverting any edit that doesn't suit your prejudiced view of Stamets, whom you are calling a scammer on no basis that I can see supported anywhere. You are not the gatekeeper for this article and what does and doesn't
