Psilocybin Mushrooms in Their Natural Habitats

This book is available in two editions : Hardcover and Paperback.

In this comprehensive reference, world-renowned mycologist Paul Stamets offers detailed descriptions and stunning photography of more than sixty psilocybin-active mushroom varieties and outlines how to find, identify, and grow psychedelic mushrooms. 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.
