Paul Stamets published his latest book recently: Psilocybin Mushrooms in Their Natural Habitats.
The author made some remarks about the new tome and its subject:
"I am honored to be in the Continuum of knowledge on psilocybin mushrooms. The lesson from experiencing psilocybin mushrooms is to share. As one person in a long lineage of knowledge keepers, I feel the depth and responsibilities of generations before me – and beyond our lifetimes. That Nature is so rich with these psilocybin mushrooms, and many had their forms millions of years before we had ours, convinces me that these are ancestral beings.
The rich diversity of psilocybin species, hidden amongst thousands of other mushroom species, makes many of them difficult to find and identify. I hope this book demystifies many of these challenges. Moreover, psilocybin mushrooms, I believe – and many before me–connect us with not only the Earth, its citizens, but to the molecular Universe that ultimately assembled to give us birth.
To all my teachers, and to you, I feel deep gratitude and responsibility. Psilocybin Mushrooms in Their Natural Habitats is a book that I hope will build bridges across continents and cultures. Psilocybin mushrooms
