Description The first new book on psychoactive mushrooms in 10 years. Introducing a
rich variety of psychoactive mushrooms from around the globe
-including some rare and little-known species - the author describes dozens
of species and covers a broad range of mushroom- related topics,
from distribution maps to comparisons of cultural attitudes to laboratory
analyses of active ingredients.
One of the book's
most remarkable features is its multi-disciplinary approach: chemistry,
botany, biology, history, anthropology, religion, pharmacology,
medicine - all of these are among the fields contributing a diversity of
data, questions and information that are assembled into one of the
most comprehensive and intriguing portraits of psychoactive mushrooms ever
created.

Lavishly illustrated, well-organized
and enriched by numerous accounts of mushroom experiences, this book
explores the psychoactive mycoflora on five continents and reconstructs
a continuity of psychoactive mushroom use throughout history, from as early
as 10,000 years ago to the present day. You will also find
detailed chapters on mushroom cultivation techniques, psychotherapy
applications, the bluing phenomenon, the dangers of accidental
poisonings caused by misidentification of species, and more. A treasure
trove of information, illustrations and magnificent color
photography, the book contains much novel information as well, such as the
first report on the psychoactivity of baeocystin and up-to-date
findings on the use of plant growth hormones to accelerate growth.
