TALES OF THE SHROOMS: THE WRITTEN WORD

 
The following is a review of author Andy Letcher's new book on the history of Magic Mushrooms.
Currently, many authors and scholars who are interested in this subject matter are attempting to debunk author Letcher's writings as not properly presented and somewhat distorted, omitting much of the history of Psilocybe mushrooms from the Pacific Northwest of America, where more than one dozen books were published and brought to the attention of the world, the spread of psilocybian consciousness.



 
The following book review by Dr. Tjakko Stijve originally appeared in: The Belgium Mycological Periodical AMK Mededelingen [Communications of the Antwerp Mycological Society]. vol.3:70-71. September 15, 2007
