Review: Good high quality pics, original publisher version - Good read, informative, good quality color picture pages for identification, original publisher version. Veterans shouldn't have to go to Colorado or Mexico for treatment with this or that ibogain stuff I've been hearing really helps vets with ptsd n so many other mental health issues.
Review: Must read for anyone interested in psilocybin! - This book is a must read for anyone who is interested in psilocybin. Paul Stamets masterfully weaves his expertise, a wide body of research literature, and personal experiences in to an extremely well written, organized, detailed book. The book also includes pictures. Before I had this book, I had assumed that there was only one psilocybin mushroom. Imagine my surprise to learn that psilocybin has many varieties! The book also shows why it is critical for people to either purchase/use verified psilocybin mushrooms or to follow specific steps to ensure any mushrooms that are legally found in the wild are psilocybin. There is a mushroom that looks exactly like psilocybin, but that mushroom is a deadly poison to the human body.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ None better!
*by J***A on September 4, 2004*

"Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World" is a first-rate reference on psilocybes, and one that I would enthusiastically recommend to anybody with an interest. That said, however, I'd like to weigh in with a bit of personal advice on the subject: Even for experienced mycologists, mushroom identification can be a difficult process. Would you be willing to stake your life on whether a mushroom's spores are rust-brown, as opposed to a rusty purplish-brown? That's a pretty subjective call, and the only way to be 100% certain is to throw spore and tissue samples on the microscope. Many edible mushrooms have deadly look-alikes, and to make matters worse, every known mushroom has variant strains. By following the guidelines in this book, an inexperienced enthusiast can be *reasonably* certain that he or she has correctly identified a field specimen, but even the best field guide is no substitute for experience and good judgment (as Stamets himself states repeatedly in this book!). This is a great reference work for anybody with an interest in mycology, but it shouldn't be mistaken for a "green light" to pick wild mushrooms for personal consumption. That said, this book is a real gem, with detailed summary descriptions of several dozen known and suspected psilocybes. Each description is accompanied by at least one color photograph. Stamets uses very scientific terminology in describing each psilocybe-- considering the consequences of a false identification, it's important for the author to be as precise in his descriptions as possible-- but there are also several helpful pages of charts at the end of the book which explain what all of this technical jargon means. This is far and away the best field guide to psilocybe mushrooms that I've seen so far. I can truly recommend this work without reservation!
