Magic Mushrooms Around the World: A Scientific Journey Across Cultures and Time - The Case for Challenging Research and Value Systems
Happy traaaaaaaaails to you. And happy hunting- because the awakened mind is a free mind. - Non Conformer
Introducing a rich variety of psychoactive mushrooms from around the
globe -including some rare and little-known species - the author
describes dozens of species and covers a broad range of mushroom-
related topics, from distribution maps to comparisons of cultural
attitudes to laboratory analyses of active ingredients. One of the
book's most remarkable features is its multi-disciplinary approach:
chemistry, botany, biology, history, anthropology, religion, pharmacology,
medicine - all of these are among the fields contributing a diversity of
data, questions and information that are assembled into one of the most
comprehensive and intriguing portraits of psychoactive mushrooms
ever created.
Lavishly illustrated, well-organized and enriched by numerous accounts of
mushroom experiences, this book explores the psychoactive mycoflora on
five continents and reconstructs a continuity of psychoactive mushroom
use throughout history, from as early as 10,000 years ago to the present
day.
You will also find detailed chapters on mushroom cultivation techniques,
psychotherapy applications, the bluing phenomenon, the dangers of accidental
poisonings caused by misidentification of species, and more. A treasure
trove of information, illustrations and magnificent color photography,
the book contains much novel information as well, such as the first
report on the psychoactivity of baeocystin and up-to-date findings on
the use of plant growth hormones to accelerate growth.
"Jochen Gartz has made an outstanding contribution to the field of mycology by
embracing the Magic Mushrooms of Germany and from around the world and
by pursuing their scientific study and investigation."

"This book provides an excellent review of Magical Mushrooms. It gives
points of their history, gives pictures, and even distribution patterns.
It can help us to get to know our Magic Mushrooms a little better, and
perhaps even accept them into the family. (a real page turner...
couldn't put it down) :) enjoy"
"Jochen Gartz is a brilliant mycologist from the former East Germany. In
this groundbreaking, eclectic new work he presents a wealth of recent
discoveries on psilocybian mushrooms along with historical material
previously unavailable.
A must-have for any serious student of mycology, Gartz includes details on
mushroom tourist trades, distribution of species, and the first successful
cultivation experiments with species such as P. semilanceata. Highly
recommended!"
"Tthis is one of the best books i have read so far about the magic and
mysterious mushrooms. the book is full of historical, usage, and
technical info with plenty of pictures and graphs. i highly recomend
this book to anyone interested in our friends, the magical mushrooms"
