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.
Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: An Identification Guide Reviews
-
Dear FBI and DEA,I bought this book to educate myself on what mushrooms not to pick
-
great book but still not quite the great identifier i was looking for. we need a book with plenty/multiple photos of each mushroom that grows in Britain and Northern Europe. Someday someone will put one of these together because the psilocybin mushrooms of the british isles old book is useless unless you want to identify P Semincealata, which, come on, most people who would be interested in such a book, already know how to identify. i don't think Stamets book is even good enough to safely identify wavy caps (and there are a few types that grow in Britain. they are a little rarer, contain a bit less active alkaloids but they're there for utilisation).

The photos are far from great quality and I wouldn't risk picking mushrooms yourself based on this guide. True, it is informative but you do need accurate sharp photos ( than one each) to feel safe going on a forest or field mushroom hunt. Here you have pics that sometimes show the top of the cap, sometimes of the gills. Far from satisfactory.

What a truly fascinating read. So we'll researched with painstaking detail. Well done Mr Stamets.He knows his onions or mushrooms!Inspirational and yet sad that we in the western world are so misguided and polluted with the usual rhetoric of big pharma. What mugs we are..

This book should be the prize possesion of anybody interested in shrooms. It is well written, has lots of pictures, and the quality and layout of the book are very high. This book lists, describes and pictures pretty much every psilocybin mushroom currently know to man, and is an invaluble reference guide.As somebody has already mentioned, the only slight down fall of the book is that some of the photographs are a little small, but considering the sheer number of photographs in the book, maybe they have to be small to fit them all in.The book also contains tips on taking mushrooms, and information on the levels of psychoactive compounds contained within the various species.I was amazed at the number of speices of psilocybin mushrooms that can be found in the UK, as very few "normal" mushroom field guides ever mention them.I highly recomend this publication to anybody with an interest in magic mushrooms.
