looking for a particular book on mushrooms
    #19272427 - 12/13/13 08:55 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Back in the mid 1970s, I read a fascinating account of the effects of magic mushrooms in a book on mushrooms. It may be long out of print, but I'm hoping that someone might be able to identify the book. A specific item that I recall is a comparison of the fear during a bad trip to watching your children being hacked to pieces. Sorry for the graphic description, but that's how part of the account was written. I only did them once, but I ate about ten large ones from cow pastures in Florida and it was an amazing experience. The first effect that I noticed was my arms and hands took on an ape-like appearance. Then colors became amazingly vivid. I had out-of-body experiences. Wow! I don't recall the details of the account in the book, but I do recall that it was consistent with my experience.

That comparison is a bit much.  :albundy:

Don't know what the book is, but Google it, maybe you'll have some luck.

I have gone beyond "Google it" in searching for this book. There are many books on mushrooms, and this one was published about 40 years ago. I don't think the account is "a bit much." Hallucinogens intensify the senses and emotions, and that would include fear and terror during a bad trip. At any rate, it was an interesting account. I'm hoping that someone else has read it and knows the book.

I don't think that comparison is too much either. Sometimes you feel that way.

Hmm sorry OP, don't know the book. Good luck in your search. If I come across it I'll let you know.
