Description
The definitive identification guide to more than 100 species of psychedelic mushrooms across the globe, from the author of Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms.
"Full of clear, accurate information and sound advice, Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World will appeal to anyone wishing to expand their psychic and mycological horizons." - David Arora, author of Mushrooms Demystified
Throughout history, humans have incorporated psychoactive mushrooms into our lives in myriad ways, including religious ceremonies where the fungi were worshipped through consumption in annual Aztec feasts and the secretive ancient Greek Eleusinian mysteries.
In Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World, renowned mycologist Paul Stamets provides a fascinating overview of these misunderstood mushrooms and their continued significance in today's culture. He details more than 100 species through colourful photographs, graphs, and the individual effects of each mushroom. He also explores the psychedelic mushrooms' deadly lookalikes, warning readers about the dangers of consuming wild mushrooms.
Complete with a glossary, supplemental resources, and comprehensive illustrations, Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World is the ultimate guide to demystifying and understanding psychedelic mushrooms.
