In this comprehensive reference, world-renowned mycologist Paul Stamets offers detailed descriptions and 300 stunning photographs of more than sixty psilocybin-active mushroom varieties - Psilocybe, Panaeolus, Gymnopilus, Inocybe, Conocybula, and Pluteus species - commonly found in North America, Europe, and Australasia.
Stamets outlines the history and cultural use of magic mushrooms in traditional rituals and ceremonies, breaks down the species' natural geographic distribution and habitats, and shares step-by-step instructions for growing your own backyard mushroom patch. But perhaps most important, he explains how to reliably distinguish between a nonpoisonous psychoactive mushroom and some highly toxic, even deadly, look-alikes.
Packed with a lifetime of scientific and real-world research, Psilocybin Mushrooms in Their Natural Habitats brings depth and understanding to an often-misunderstood topic. Revealing the potential of these powerful, mind-awakening fungi to help us live better, happier lives through micro- and macrodosing, this handbook is an indispensable and potentially lifesaving, culture-shifting addition to mushroom literature from a trusted expert in the field.
