Pharma industry

discovering chemicals that can be harvested from fungi / mushrooms, useful to make medicinal pharmaceutic drugs.

Do you know of any recently discovered chemicals that got the people who found out about it rich?

I'm not a chemist or a biologist, I'm EE.

But every Veeky Forums user knows about Penicillin right?

Penicillin, the 1st antibiotics, extracted from fungi Penicillium, discovered by doctor Alexander Fleming changed Medicine & Pharma forever.

Dr. Alexander Fleming won a Nobel Prize for that.
A Nobel prize pays above US$1.100.000 nowadays.

grow psilocybin shrooms???

>psilocybin magic shrooms

Becoming a Drug dealer!?

Magic Mushrooms are illegal in many countries.

However a Biologist can grow it "for medicinal research" as a excuse.

By transfering to either organic chemistry or chemical engineering. Pharma pays fortune for organos, oil pays good for chem engies.

>Becoming a Drug dealer!?
No, growing them, not distributing them personally. Sell them off to a connection (dealer).

If you think you can make big bucks legally,especially as a mycologist, you are daft.

source? might be dual majoring now m8

We can grow it & sell it to the dealers.

The dealers sell it to the consumers/ users.

To start terraforming mars with.

Do a bunch of gene mods , create some artificial man made fungus.

Real talk.
They matket cordycepts spores as an altnative medicine holistic therapy.

Also they use fungus to clean up oil spills in the ocean.

There are almost no mycologists out there. You might not get rich but you'll damn near always have a job, especially with universities. Those jobs can pay exceptionally too.
Antibiotics are neither researched that much now nor is the research area of novel chemicals profitable with fungi. Soil microbes, plants and various mammals are researched for antibiotic potential but there's a reason we haven't added a new major family of antibiotic drugs to the list in nearly 40 years. There's not enough money there

1. Go to any southern university
2. Submit a request for a grant to classify fungi species
3. Make a key for the fungi in the southern US
4. Profit
There isn't a reliable or complete key for any of the fungi in most of that region, my Biology II professor actually got hired for their work on a partial one.

Micologists can have an Upper Middle Class Income at least, as an Uni researcher / professor.

How much do you think fungus classifiers make working in the South?

Not a lot, but it's a guranteed long term job because there are thousands of them with no key.

>Manufacturing drugs is real simple.
Watch out, the DEA likes it's prey niave.
You'd have a tax inquistion and you'd be getting your shit pushed in Federal prison in no time.
Never talk about anything on the internet and stop larping you massive teenagers.
