(The book was published in the 1970’s and the mushroom has since been reclassified.) This species is known to induce hallucinations, euphoria, and altered perception in those who ingest it because of the presence of psilocybin, which – converted to psilocin -- interacts with serotonin receptors. Most of the information presented could be applied to cultivation of any mushroom (excepting information about identification in Ch. 1, which applies to that one species, and the information about dosage
in Ch. 5 that doesn’t matter for edible mushrooms.) The authors did specifically develop this process, but I think that had more to do with the need for a process in between the vagaries of foraging and the large-scale agricultural approach that couldn’t be exploited for the “hobbyist,” than it had to do with the specific needs of this fungi. The body of the book is divided into five chapters, which follow the progression of steps required to cultivate mushrooms. The first chapter covers
locating and identifying psilocybe cubensis as well as how to collect and germinate the spores. The second chapter is about growing mycelial cultures on sterile agar. One of the major challenges presented in the book is keeping mold and other undesirable species from growing on or amongst one’s mushrooms. In the third chapter one learns how to grow the mycelia on sterilized rye. The penultimate chapter explores covering the mycelia infused rye with soil in a process that commercial
fungi agriculture calls “casing,” which ultimately results in the generation of the fruiting bodies that we traditionally think of as mushrooms (though in the wild most of the organism is below ground.) The last chapter is about harvesting the mushrooms, preserving them, and determining dosage. There is a substantial amount of front and back matter bookending the aforementioned chapters. The front matter gives the reader some history of psychedelic mushrooms as well some insight into
their effects. (The Preface and Forward are explicitly written by Terrence McKenna, but it’s said that the entire book is written by McKenna and his brother, Dennis.) The Forward and Introduction are where the book feels less like an agricultural how-to manual, and more like a guide to psychedelics, but the reader should be aware that this book is – first and foremost – a how-to guide. The back matter includes a range of helpful appended sections including a glossary, a bibliography, a timeline
of psilocybin mushroom happenings, and a section to help one make conversions -- particularly between volume and weights for various materials that are used in cultivation. There are many graphics employed throughout the book. Most importantly, there are several series of black-and-white photos that help clarify the process being described textually. There are also some line-drawn artworks that depict psychedelic mushroom in their cultural context – both in the ancient shamanic tradition
and the more recent wave of use. This is a quick read that gets into all the processes needed to cultivate mushrooms. The authors compare it to canning preserves in terms of the degree of complexity. (That rings true as both processes rely heavily on sterilization.) It is a how-to guide, and if one isn’t interested in the process of cultivation, one might find the book a bit dry. I found it interesting to learn about the cultivation process as well as the information from the Forward,
Introduction, and Chronology about psychedelics, specifically. If you’re interested in cultivating mushrooms or are very curious about fungi, I’d recommend this book.
Sep 13, 2021 ア rated it liked it this is a quick but very dense guide that is great for studying the history of cultivation and dissemination of cubensis but i wouldn't recommend actually following these rules nowadays considering these techniques have long been surpassed and made much much simpler as time went by and more people began home-growing and experimenting.

Jun 15, 2020 Derek Frasure rated it really liked it Interesting essay appended to pragmatic instructions. McKenna uses mushrooms to denaturalize anthropocentrism. Part self-actualization human potential movement stuff and part stoner mysticism, it's provocative. It's not entirely convincing, but it has moments of rhetorical brilliance and argument that I'm willing to entertain. Interesting essay appended to pragmatic instructions.

Feb 26, 2011 Kitap rated it it was ok The authors have cute names. There is wacky speculation on intelligent spores from outer space. It makes growing mushrooms look hard, particularly considering that these fungi are often said to grow on
cow poop. Cow poop which doesn't have to go through an autoclave or be sprayed with lysol, incidentally. There is wacky speculation on intelligent spores from outer space.

The foreword is legendary. Just that could be worth the price: "I am old. Older than thought in your species..." Terence McKenna is a legend, and his vision for the future is interstellar. The growing

My guess is that the timeline is very outdated by now as well. But it is nevertheless wholesome to read it through. Terence left a legacy and I honour him for that. But, I'm still on the fence about whether or not I'll just return this book and buy another for my money. It IS iconic and beautiful. But quite useless after a single read. Other than being a trophy of sorts. A bit of a fetish trophy. ...more
