"Mushrooms are having a moment. [A] natural sequel for the many readers who enjoyed Merlin Sheldrake's Entangled Life."--Library Journal
"Bierend writes with sensual verve and specificity, enthusiasm, and humor. . . . [He] introduces us to the staggering variety of mushrooms, their mystery, their funk, and the way they captivate our imaginations."--The Boston Globe
"Nothing is impossible if you bring mushrooms into your life, and reading this book is a great way to begin your journey."--Tradd Cotter, author of Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation
From ecology to fermentation, in pop culture and in medicine--mushrooms are everywhere. With an explorer's eye, author Doug Bierend guides readers through the weird, wonderful world of fungi and the amazing mycological movement.
In Search of Mycotopia introduces us to an incredible, essential, and oft-overlooked kingdom of life--fungi--and all the potential it holds for our future, through the work and research being done by an unforgettable community of mushroom-mad citizen scientists and microbe devotees. This entertaining and mind-expanding book will captivate readers who are curious about the hidden worlds and networks that make up our planet.
Bierend uncovers a vanguard of mycologists: growers, independent researchers, ecologists, entrepreneurs, and amateur enthusiasts exploring and advocating for fungi's capacity to improve and heal. From decontaminating landscapes and waterways to achieving food security, In Search of Mycotopia demonstrates how humans can work with fungi to better live with nature--and with one another.
"Comprehensive and enthusiastic. . . . This fascinating, informative look into a unique subculture and the fungi at its center is a real treat."--Publishers Weekly
"If you enjoyed Merlin Sheldrake's Entangled Life . . . I highly recommend this book. . . . In the vein of Louis Theroux, Bierend journeys deep in the wonderfully strange subculture of the mushroom-mad."--Idler magazine
Engaging and entertaining. . . .Bierend proves his skill as a science journalist through interviews and experiences shared with mushroom experts and citizen scientists.--Choice

Описание:
From one of the region’s foremost mushroom hunters—Walter E. Sturgeon—comes a long-overdue field guide to finding and identifying the mushrooms and fleshy fungi found in the Appalachian mountains from Canada to Georgia. Edibility and toxicity, habitat, ecology, and detailed diagnostic features of the disparate forms they take throughout their life cycles are all included, enabling the reader to identify species without the use of a microscope or chemicals.
Appalachian Mushrooms is unparalleled in its accuracy and currency, from its detailed photographs to descriptions based on the most advanced classification information available, including recent DNA studies that have upended some mushrooms’ previously accepted taxonomies. Sturgeon celebrates more than 400 species in all their diversity, beauty, and scientific interest, going beyond the expected specimens to include uncommon ones and those that are indigenous to the Appalachian region.
This guide is destined to be an indispensable authority on the subject for everyone from beginning hobbyists to trained experts, throughout Appalachia and beyond.

Описание: Poisonous mushrooms have fascinated scientists and laypersons alike for thousands of years. Almost all mushroom fatalities are due to the genus Amanita, whose poetic common names (death cap, destroying angel) attest to their lethality. In his classic 1986 book, Theodor Wieland covered the state of our knowledge about the chemistry and biochemistry of the toxins of Amanita mushrooms up until that time, with a particular focus on the decades of chemical research by him and the Wieland dynasty (including his father, brother, brother-in-law, and cousin). Wieland’s book is now mainly of historical interest, with its exhaustive overview of the early chemical studies done without benefit of methods taken for granted by modern chemists.
This book is a complete top-to-bottom revision of Wieland’s 1986 book. The material covers history, chemistry, and biology with equal thoroughness. It should be of interest to natural products chemists and biologists, professional and amateur mycologists, and toxicologists.
The three scientific fields that are most relevant to the book are natural products chemistry, mycology, and fungal molecular genetics. Dr. Walton is an expert in all three. To maximize the broad utility and appeal of the book, care has been taken to define all technical terms specific to a particular discipline, so that, for example, mycologists will be able to understand the relevant chemistry, and chemists will be able to understand the relevant fungal biology.

A few years ago, public opinion on cannabis was mostly negative because it was considered a hallucinogenic drug.
Today, the compound of cannabis called CBD is being used to treat serious mental and physical illnesses and has even shown promising preliminary results in treating cancers.
Magic mushrooms are currently going through the same evolution. Up until recently, they too were considered a drug. Now, published clinical studies claim they can be used to treat anxiety, PTSD, cluster headaches and more.
The "magical" compound in magic mushrooms is psilocybin, a psychedelic alkaloid that affects the serotonin receptors in your brain. That part of your brain controls various neurological processes such as sleep, anxiety, aggression, and nausea.
Those receptors are the main target of antidepressants and other psychotherapeutic medicines. In other words, magic mushrooms are doing the same job as expensive medicines, but they're completely natural and show few to none side effects.
However, to safely use magic mushrooms for healing and spiritual purposes, one must determine the right dosage and know different types of mushrooms. That's exactly what this book will show you, along with how to easily grow mushrooms in the comfort of your home.
So here's what you'll learn with this book:
What to prepare for mushroom cultivation, from tools and containments to spores
Different types of magic mushrooms and their effects
How to safely use and dose the mushrooms for healing purposes
What is psychedelic therapy and why is it becoming extremely popular
And so much more
Don't be alarmed by the word "psychedelic". The term was demonized because of its connection to various chemical drugs. However, psychedelic plants and mushrooms have been used for thousands of years, not as a drug, but as a medicine and a way to conduct spiritual growth.
So forget everything you're heard about magic mushrooms, and let this book open your eyes to many healing and divine properties of this incredible Mother Nature's gift to us
