Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms Growing Wild Mushrooms
A Complete Guide to Cultivating
Edible and Hallucinogenic Mushrooms
If you have grown Psilocybe cubensis on rice, this will introduce you to alternatives to rice like rye, malt, oatmeal, compost, etc. Instead of starting with a spore syringe or spore print, this shows how to start from mushroom cultures obtained from living mushrooms.
Less than 100 pages (and 8 pages of color photos) it includes many black and white illustrations and photos to aid in describing the text. Primarily about growing hallucinogenic mushrooms, with just a mention of edible mushrooms. Not recommended for first time growers.
Growing Wild Mushrooms Hallucinogenic and Poisonous Mushroom:
Field Guide
This guide describes over 20 types of hallucinogenic mushrooms that grow wild in the USA. It also describes several poisonous mushrooms they are most often confused with. Includes black and white illustrations throughout the book with a small color photo section at the end.
A good, pocket size manual that shows which mushrooms are worth picking and which are better left alone. Should be used with another guide like this or this so you can see the expanded details needed for identifying poisonous strains, if you go mushroom hunting.
Hallucinogenic and Poisonous Mushroom Magic Mushrooms Around the World
Describes dozens of species of psychoactive mushrooms from around the globe. Covers a broad range of mushroom related topics, from distribution maps to comparisons of cultural attitudes to laboratory analyses of active ingredients.
Well illustrated (illustrations and color photography), 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.
Psychotherapy applications, the dangers of accidental poisoning caused by misidentification of species, chemistry, botany, biology, history, anthropology, religion, pharmacology, medicine and more. Not recommended as a grow guide, there is information about growing, but, it is dated.
Magic Mushrooms Around the World Magic Mushrooms in Religion and Alchemy
Information about the Amanita muscaria (fly agaric) mushroom. Its history and uses as a psychoactive are explored, and a speculative history of the role the Amanita muscaria played in human history is explored.
This speculative history is a bit far fetched at times but does seem plausible overall. Lots of black and white images and full color photographs to make the text easier to understand.
Magic Mushrooms in Religion and Alchemy Psilocybin:
Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide:
A Handbook for Psilocybin Enthusiasts
This is the book that started many mushroom growing operations. An older book, first published in 1976, strictly about growing Psilocybe cubensis. The step by step methods described work but growing magic mushroom is easier now.

Sacred Mushrooms and the Law Soma: Divine Mushroom Of Immortality
R. Gordon Wasson wrote this account of the role the fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) played primarily in the religious development of the Indo-European peoples.
This book looks at the role of the fly agaric in the writings of the Indo-Europeans, in the RigVeda, and other sacred texts. The book also discusses the role of the fly agaric in Europe, Eurasia, and Siberia among the shamans there.
Soma: Divine Mushroom Of Immortality The Psilocybin Production:
Producing Organic Psilocybin in a Small Room
This is too complicated for the person who knows nothing about growing magic mushrooms. If you know something about growing mushrooms in general, or if you are a serious gardener, you might be successful.
Includes closet production and explains small and large scale production. How to locate magic mushrooms, develop stock for inoculation, cultivate, harvest, and dry. It does not tell you where to get supplies.
Explains how mycelium can be grown in inexpensive jars and methods of extracting and using existing cultures to seed new one to create an ongoing farm yielding a regular crop of hallucinogenic mycelium.
