Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World by Paul Stamets

Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World by Paul Stamets

From the author of GROWING GOURMET AND MEDICINAL MUSHROMS 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.

PAUL STAMETS is the codirector and founder of the Rainforest Mushroom Genome and Mycodiversity Preservation Project, as well as the founder of Fungi Perfecti. He is the author of two fundamental textbooks, The Mushroom Cultivator and GROWING GOURMET AND MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS, and has been published in a variety of periodicals. He also gives more mycology talks than he can keep count of. Stamets, an advisor and consultant to the University of Arizona Medical School's Department for Integrative Medicine and the recipient of the Collective Heritage Institute's Bioneers Award in 1998, lives in Kamilche Point, Washington, with his collection of over 250 medicinal mushroom cultures.
