Magic Mushrooms: The Psilocybin Mushroom Bible – A Guide to Cultivation and Safe Use (Entheogens) Paperback – April 21, 2019

Eighteen chapters packed with interesting and helpful information! This book starts out with a little history of shrooms, some good to know things about the different species and how they grow. Health information is discussed (psilocybin mushrooms are neither toxic or addictive) and the authors cite results from scientific studies and how they have been used medicinally around the world.The chapters on growing your own start with basic information, and go on to advanced techniques. The lack of photos does make it difficult to understand some parts of the process. They do pack a lot of information into these chapters.

Provides an insightful and comprehensive presentation of psychedelic experiences, explanations and guide to the many varieties of psilocybin mushrooms to include specific guidance for home cultivation and needed equipment. As a past user of other psychedelics, I found the first chapters particularly 'right on' with their descriptions of mental phases to anticipate from start to finish and how to prepare oneself before taking the journey.

Easily understandable

I just received this and have not finished reading it. I'm quite disappointed. First, there are no page numbers. I think that's the first time I've ever bought a book with such a glaring omission. Obviously, no copyeditor was employed to help produce this book. That is a MAJOR omission, for obvious reasons, but especially in a book with complicated recipes that require a lot of flipping around between chapters and pages. Absolutely inexcusable error for anyone publishing a book. Second, as I read through the first of the relatively "easy" methods for mushroom production, listed among the ingredients is a "spore syringe." It says to see Ch. 9 for info on creating obtaining spore syringes. In Chapter 9, it says that to create them, one needs to create a "spore print." What's needed to create a spore print? A mushroom cap. See the problem here? If you don't HAVE a mushroom cap, you can't use this method. So, the entire recipe is useless, since it assumes you ALREADY HAVE mushrooms. I went on to explore the next method, "Improved PF Tek." Among the necessary materials listed is "spore water syringes. " Again, same problem. Nothing is mentioned about how to create a "spore water syringe" without already having spores, or how to create spores. If employing a method requires one already HAVE mushrooms, the author should say so upfront, so newbies won't waste their time puzzling over the recipe only to find it is useless to them.
