I'm interested in foraging and cultivating medicinal/edible/psychedelic mushrooms. I was about to buy Paul Stamets' $125 5 book special. is it worth it?

I dont know if Id go pay that much for the info you can easily find here.
SWIM just started no books just internet and some down home farming knowledge and has had great success. I would say unless your going to be doing something big time. All the info you need is right here. and its free!
Best of luck mate!

I bought Paul Stamets' The Mushroom Cultivator and Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms books; and I hardly would consider it a waste of money. Mind you, I probably spent ~ $75 dollars for just those two books.

Knowledge is never a waste of time. And Stamets books are great Im sure. I was merely stating that most of the info you need for a basic grow can be found for free. Now If you want to really actually understand what your doing, then im sure those books would be grand. Im just a cheap bastard..

Books are a waste of time and money. All the info you can find in books and manually looking them up you can find on the Shroomery search and/or Google.
