I thoroughly enjoy anything from Paul Stamets. I have been avidly studying mushrooms for almost 20 years, but never really delved into the world of psilocybins. The amount of knowledge this man has just blows me away, and I hang on to every word he writes. This is definitely one resource book I will be referring back to for many years to come.
