"Informative, thorough and detailed." 2010-06-25By
Brian J. Brubaker (Crapsville Los Angeles, CA, USA Inc.)
This has got to be one of (or maybe the) most extensive books on indoor/outdoor psilocybe cultivation. This book to mushrooms is what Jorge Cervantes' "Indoor/outdoor medical horticulture bible" is to herb. Almost any question you have about cultivating, cloning, reproducing, substrates, spores and different species is covered in this book. Although somewhat of a small book, i don't think anything really important was left out of it. The author includes everything from old school techniques used in the 70s to the more recent ones developed in the last decade or so. If your contemplating cultivating look no further, this is the book you need.
PS: I do not condone or suggest you break any state or federal laws. Therefore, if you live in the US or any one of the many other (lame) countries where cultivation is still illegal than this book is strictly for educational purposes... that is until you move to another cooler country where you can use what you learned, legally.

Educational, everything you need to know. Maybe more. Well written, easy to understand. Great color photos.
If you are interested in this subject. This book is a great educator.
"What a fun book!" 2010-01-17By
Keith W. JonesI purchased this book second-hand at a head shop on a lark. By the time I finished reading it, I was already planning a number of experiments! That was 2 years ago, and I have been an avid mycophile ever since! Reading through the book a couple of times before starting a mushroom experiment may help to clear up any questions you have, but don't expect perfect results without a few failures, first. That's just how it is with ANY mushroom cultivation!

The author of this book really put effort into his studies before writing this little book. Any first time cultivator can get a great amount of knowledge about all the psilocybe mushroom speices. Invaluable to any mycologist. This book also will give the authors knowledge of many other great books in this particular field though you may not need them.
"Good for basic info but found 4 inaccuracies in 5 min." 2009-09-12By

Based on modern understanding of Psilocybin mushroom cultivation, this book is already out of date. This is because the world of mushroom cultivation has taken a great leap forward in the pas 3-4 years (I have been away since 2003, and i already had to relearn much of what i "knew" to be true). Also, It has no information on sclerotia forming species, but as it is a 'mushroom' cultivating book and not a sclerotia cultivating book (they are not technically mushrooms) i guess thats ok. Basically, it's good on the basics of cultivation, most of the info is accurate, and all the techniques will work. but there is so much more out there now. I'll keep it for reference and history, but i have much better methods that are described. Maybe when i have read it i'll scribble some notes and websites in it and sell it a used book store, so others will get the growing bug. If you really wanna learn the new methods, check out RR's dvd called "let's grow mushrooms." But note, I gave it 4 stars for a reason.... it's still good
