Paul Stamets - PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS OF THE WORLD. Identification Guide. Paperback 7th ed (1996). New

Beautifully and extensively illustrated. This is the most authoritative and comprehensive guide available on Psilocybin mushrooms.

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 recently, and still others have never before been photographed in their natural habitats.
