Xmush,
while I also am affiliated with several Universities, even I have to pay for a journal publication copied and sent to me from other Universities libraries. Even the professors have to pay for the copies of the works they need reprints of.

The Journal began in 1999. It is very big now because of the interest in medicinal shrooms, usually this field was restricted to Asia and Southeast Asia and spread to the Soviet block. Medicinal mushrooms are now a billion dollar a year business now. Far from rare. And yes The conferences are big each year more and more. Stamet' Medicinal shroom conference held in Ft. Towndsend was $1600.00 per person without room and board. Interestingly, the 2nd International Conference on Hallucinogenic Mushrooms was also held at ft. Worden. Tickets for that were $150.00 per person with room and board. See how much money Stamets is raking in on those. I also posted the Reeshi's of Thailand pictorial and posted images of the many by medicinal byproducts of Reeshi. Stamets makes a fortune off extracts of Agaricus Blazeii and Reeshi, moreso than the mushrooms he sells internationally.

Yes, Medicinal shrooms are big.

Now you said you have access to thousands of journal publications, but then again that cost for a student to find what you need and interlibrary loan is expensive

Regarding Library stock of journals. many libraries cut back on journal publications because of the expensive price of a journal. Most reputable journals only print a press run of approx. 200-2000 issues per journal. Most go to libraries but also to other mycologists who subscribe and article copies go to lead authors. Articles are sold or given to authors up to fifty copies. This journal does not provide authors with copies of their papers. They do sell, as do many journals now available, on the internet at a cost.

And journals published at least five years ago are rare and hard to find.

Because I paid for this article i am not posting it.

However, when Dr. Guzmán sends me a PDF copy, I will try to post the data asked about here.

I would like to tell you that when I was working with Dr. Mark Merlin at the U of H, the Library funding was cut by Governor Cayetano. He took $36,000,000 in library funds and re-issued the money to support the University football team. He wrote for the board of Trustees at Bishop which places funds for library spending at a new low. No new books for two years and 20% less journal publications for two years. That was in 1996 circa or there abouts.

They moved all journals prior to 1973 to a different building across campus. Making it harder for students to get older data without having to ravel the length of campus at Manoa.

U of W did a similar funding with the Huskies vs library funds and the University of Oregon in Eugene, had no money to buy new xerox equipment, using machines from the 1970s. That was visible to me in 1991 when Gartz and I went there to xerox marcofische items. They had the same machines from 1976 when I was there studying.

Now many journals are so expensive, schools cannot keep up with them as much as they would like to and every year, dozens of new journals are being added to the lists and not being used fully. Many libraries cannot afford the price of journals so they are choosy in what is accepted.

If you notice on this page,

http://www.begellhouse.com/journals/708ae68d64b17c52.html

the full issue cost $498.00 each. That is for a printed copy./ The U of Washington has them there.

You can scroll the issues from 2001 on and look at the table of contents of the variouos issues and you will see who writes what there. One issue was all the papers read at the Conference Stamets organized a few years ago or so.

The publishers of that journal also publish many others, including the journal of Ethnopharmacology.

Guzman has written several articles published here. AS have other noted mycologists.

Stamets and others have written many articles on magic shrooms in this journal and articles related to their medicinal properties.

I think in the future, many journals will go internet and sell the PDF copies.

I have several journals over the years I have bought.

Journal of Psychedelic Drugs, later became Journal of Psychoactive Drugs. They charged me $100.00 for fifty copies of my paper, "Magic Mushrooms of Australia and New Zealand," When the article was published, while other journals provide up to 50 free copies of authors articles to the authors.

The Int. J. Med. Mushrooms charges for its copies to defray the cost of printing.

Not all libraries have carried the Journal of Psychedelic Drugs or its renamed issues, some due to cost, others due to subject matter. The J. of Psychedelic Drugs has been in print since the early 1970s.

I do have at least 1800 articles in my files of the more than 2800 known published articles about psilocybian mushrooms, collected from journals in Libraries and buying journal publications from around the world.

Here is the cover for one issue I own of the Journal of Psychedelic Drugs. This one is on the Conference for Hallucinogens and Shamanism in Native American Life" held at the Japan Trade Center in San Francisco in 1978.

It contains all the papers of the lectures given at this conference.



I purchased this years ago and it is not available now.

Also, many journal publications on library stacks at Universities on the West Coast between 1953 and 1985 have had mushroom articles ripped out of them, or pictures of magic shrooms excised from the pages of the journals in these libraries. This is disgusting. IT makes it so others could not learn about these mushrooms at the time.

A friend informed me that the article I wrote in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology on Hawaii had all the photos razor-bladed (excised) from the article.

Luckily I still had a few reprints, which that journal provides its authors with in my files so i was able to provide the Chemistry library with a copy sop they were able to restored to journal to its original fullness.
