The Psilocybin Mushroom Bible: The Definitive Guide to Growing and Using Magic Mushrooms

This book gave me everything I was looking for and more. I recently have gotten into mycology and have gone down the rabbit hole of information and gathering what I need. I ordered this book and it arrived after I was at least 20 hours deep into YouTube videos and still managed to learn something new within the first 5 minutes of opening it.It being called a bible is not wrong; this thing has been by my bedside since I got it lol. The writers are both knowledgeable, funny, and write like a humans. I often found myself laughing and snickering reading this and smiled more than the last novel I read. I fully expected it to be a moderately sized book with mostly text and some example pictures here and there. But NOPE! This thing is jam packed with more pictures than a coloring book and every picture is quality and explanatory. I am a visual learner and found everything easy to follow along. Every small step is documented and given to us like Prometheus giving us fire and unlocking and freely flowing knowledge. As much information as the internet has and can find mycology information in blogs, that requires research and time to find what you are looking for. This guide book combines everything I would ever want to know at this stage into one easy to read in a pleasure to look at package.Spiral bound: Wow what a feature that I did not know I needed. Having the spiral bound binding has come with its advantages, notably it being able to lay flat on the page I need and take up less space on my desk or while sitting on a bus/subway. Since this is not structured like an A-Z book and more like an instruction manual to jump around, it makes going to your desired section a breeze and not having to find a makeshift paperweight to keep the book open to go hands-free is *chefs kiss*. Some of the information I feel like I know already and do not need to review or a route of spawning I am not doing at this stage but may not the line I can easily skip over for now and jump around, which is what I believe the authors intended.With great knowledge and everything packed into this book, comes my ONLY even remotely negative thing would be it is a thick and a little hefty book which makes carrying around traveling not as convenient. The form factor more than makes up for this as it is not too large nor to small to keep in a small bag. This by far does not take anything anyway from the experience, since I know that's not the intended way to use it and I need to do more bicep curls and shoulder presses. Don't come @ me :)I highly recommend this bible and guide on mycology and can't rave about it enough!

A fairly comprehensive guide rooted in good science as well as everyday practicality. Most of all, I appreciate all the very detailed photos, which can often be missing from guides you might find on the internet. You'll be taught the science behind good grows and be shown all the steps to achieve that end, including fabricating all the equipment needed.The only thing I wish the authors covered more in detail is alternative bulk substrates, particularly since their preferred substrate (manure) is not something everyone has access to or may want to use.I ordered the spiral-bound edition and it is printed beautifully. I have some minor complaints about the print editing -- sometimes full-page pictures or even multi-page photographic tutorials would interrupt a chapter between connected paragraphs or sometimes even mid-sentence, which is a little jarring if you're really just trying to read the next thing. I feel like a copy editor should have thought this through a bit more. All in all a minor complaint.

Great medicinal informational book. May be invaluable with future unrest

This book has everything you need to have, know, and understand about mushrooms. It shows how to do each process with step by step instructions using pictures. It teaches you how to set up your “lab”, give list of supplies you will need to each stage of the growth and the different ways to begin your farm, and explains the different species of mushrooms. I started out knowing nothing and now am preparing to start my first grow. This is the Bible for mushrooms.

Thus book is truly a Bible it has the answers to your questions, you will have as a first time or inexperienced mythologies. Also excellent photos to help break up the vast amount of knowledge so it didn't get to over whelming

The second book in my mycology library This book has been very valuable with my studies in mycology

I purchased the spiral book and glad I did , like a cookbook you want to stay on a page and follow instructions. I was pleasantly surprised , this book has so much great information and step by step guide. The book has very good illustrations for each section, to show what to look for or how to make your own , substrate , growing box, mold etc. .

There are a lot of resources available but I wanted a book to read and refer to as I went. I can't compare it to any other books but I would buy this one again.
