Stalker noted that one of the characters in the new Star Trek series Discovery was called Lieutenant Paul Stamets.
Was this a nod to the famous US mycologist Paul Stamets?
It appears that the naming of the character Stamets is most definitely after the Washington State based mushroom guru - it’s quite the accolade, especially in the trekkie universe.
The character is an astromycologist no less? It’s all a very big deal in the trekkie world and in the mycoverse!
