An Identification Guide

Foreword by Andrew Weil, M.D.
Look inside
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.
World-renowned mycologist Paul Stamets is the author of seven books and a sought-after international speaker. His research and lectures demonstrate how mushrooms can greatly enrich the health of both people and the planet. Stamets is also the founder of Host Defense Mushrooms, the #1 bestselling mushroom-based supplements brand in the U.S., and Fungi Perfecti, a family-owned business dedicated to promoting the cultivation of high-quality gourmet and medicinal mushrooms.
