SynopsisThe 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 worshiped through consumption in annual Aztec feasts and the secretive ancient Greek Eleusinian mysteries. In Psylocibin Mushrooms of the World, renowned mycologist Paul Stamets provides a fascinating overview of these misunderstood mushrooms and their continued significance in today's culture, detailing more than 100 species through colorful photographs, graphs, and the individual effects of each mushroom. He also explores the psychedelic mushrooms' deadly lookalikes and warns readers about the dangers of consuming wild mushrooms. Complete with a glossary, supplemental resources, and comprehensive illustrations, Psylocibin Mushrooms of the World is the ultimate guide to demystifying and understanding psychedelic mushrooms., From the author of GROWING GOURMET AND MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS comes the only identification guide exclusively devoted to the world's psilocybin-containing mushrooms. Detailed descriptions and color photographs for over 100 species are provided, as well as an exploration of their long-standing (and often religious) use by ancient peoples and their continued significance to modern-day culture. Some of the species included have just been discovered in the past year or two, and still others have never before been photographed in their natural habitats.

Better cameras
It's a great book with lots of information, but the pictures aren't what I was hoping for. They seem dark and far off and the clarity should be better for the price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
