Product information "Fools' Tails - Psychoactive Mushrooms Around the World"
Updated and supplemented new edition with new cover, new photos and the monograph of Psilocybe germanica, the German Bald Head discovered in 2014.
Jochen Gartz researched all aspects of psychoactive psilocybin-containing fungi on a scientific basis for more than 15 years. He discovered several species, which he named together with other mycologists, such as the strongly psychoactive Psilocybe azurescens (USA) and Psilocybe natalensis (South Africa).
This standard interdisciplinary work on psychoactive fungi has been thoroughly revised. Starting from historical aspects, it describes mycology and chemistry as well as the individual culture procedures in a competent and generally understandable manner. Toxicological and medical-therapeutic aspects are linked to detailed descriptions of the effects of individual mushroom species at different dosages. The danger of confusion with poisonous mushrooms is pointed out as well as the usefulness of color reactions for the differentiation of individual species. Includes an extensive bibliography.
"This book is important and presents a wide variety of interesting new information on psychoactive mushrooms." Albert Hofmann
