Here are a few from my cd-rom, Teonan?catl: A bibliography of Entheogenic mushrooms co-authored by J. Gartz..
Also ERonin Publishers is discontiuing the "Psychedelic Encyclopedia" by Perter stafford. It is being republished as six individual books. The first two, "Psychedelics" and "Magic Mushrooms" are already on the market and udated from the original "Psychedelic Encyclopedia."
The latter book by Stafford has a batik cover from my design made in Bali and also about 20 of my images in the book of shrooms and me.

Here is a list of some books on the shroom related side of the discussion.
Includes the book "One River" by Wade Davis,
Wade Davis is also the author of "The Serpent and the Rainbow," A book he wrote of which a bad movie by WEs Craven was made, a movie Wade Davis disassociated himself from.
One River is the story of Richard Evans Schultes' 13 years in the Columbian Amazonian jungle where he identified more than 20,000 plants new to science including over 80 hallucinogenic plants. chewed coca leaves for 8 years to combat malaria and has a 2,000,000 acre land track in the Amazon named in his honore. He most assuredly was the greatest explorer since Richard Spruce and maybe even greater than Stanley and Livingston.
Here is a list of similar books.
While LaBarre's Peyote Cult is the focal point for all Indians who use it in conjunction with ceremonial setups for new charters of the cult, La Barre and Schultes first ate peyote in 1930s while students at harvard who took a class on botany and the sudy of medical plants was one of the topics in his botany class in pre-med school and that trip to the native American Church peyuote ceremony in Oklahoma int he early 1930s is what eventually led Schultes to Mexico in the mid 1960s where he abnd Blas Pablo Reko collected the first known specimens of the magic m shrooms. IT then led, througuh the US aermy's war office to the Amazon to study rubber for the army's war effort, arrow poisons to be use in heart medications and his following plant discoveries also came about becasue of his Amazon jungle adventure. There is also a good bio of Schulties in a past issue of the New Yorker magazine, a rather lengthy bio ver4y well written.
Kahn, E. J. 1992. (Mag.) Profiles: Jungle Botanist. New Yorker:35-58. June 1.
This biography traces the footsteps of the renown ethnobotanist Dr. Richard Evans Schultes from Harvard to his exploration of the Colombian Amazon and then back to Harvard. An amazing adventure in life. See Davis for a complete biography of Richard Evans Schultes and his adventures in the Amazon.
R. E. also has a cockroach named in his honor and many more books and dozens of articles in the Harvard Botanical Museum Leaflets. and other journals.
However Weston LaBarre also wrote the "The Ghost Dance: The Origins of Religion."
This is one of the best books on the history of the hallucinogens.
I have also posted some of LaBarres papers at http://www.thenook.org in the journals forums section under my forum called Tales of the Shroom.
