Jochen Gartz (born 1 October, 1953) was a German chemist and mycologist who studied psilocybin mushrooms as well as other psychoactive plants.
[1][2][3] He was considered an expert in this field.
[1] Among other accomplishments, Gartz is known for discovering aeruginascin, which was originally thought to occur exclusively in Inocybe aeruginascens.
[4][5][6][7][3] He is also known for theorizing that an entourage effect may occur with the combination of different active alkaloids in psilocybin mushrooms besides just psilocybin[2][8] and for reporting that baeocystin is active as a psychedelic in humans.
