Editorial standards and corrections.

What the journal is, and is not

• It is educational. Articles explain what is documented, what is disputed and what is unknown.
• It is not medical, legal or identification advice, and nothing in it recommends a product, a dose or a way to use any substance.
• Shroomverse sells mushroom products. Journal articles carry no product links, prices or purchase prompts, and each one says so in its disclosure.

How we source

• Claims rest on primary sources where they exist: peer-reviewed papers, official Government of Canada and Health Canada pages, statutes on Justice Laws, registries such as ClinicalTrials.gov, and archived originals.
• Every article lists its sources, the date each was opened, and what each one supports. When we could only read an abstract, the note says so.
• If we cannot verify a claim, we leave it out or label it unverified. We say plainly what is not known.
• Laws, approvals and trial registries change. Each article is dated and shows its change log, and Canadian law pages are checked against the official source on the date shown.

Who writes and who reviews

• Articles are bylined to the Shroomverse editorial team and checked against the sources listed on each page. Who makes the journal describes the team, the steps every article goes through and the reviewers.
• Articles on law, safety, medication interactions and clinical access are not published until a named, credentialed reviewer has reviewed them. When one has, the article shows the reviewer’s name, credential and date. If an article does not show a reviewer, none has reviewed it.

Corrections

• If you find an error, an out-of-date fact or a broken source, tell us on X or Instagram, and name the article and the line.
• We check it against the source, fix it, and record the change and its date in the article’s change log. We do not quietly change facts.

If you need help now
