Two books on magic mushrooms are Teonandcatl Hallucinogenic Mushrooms of North America, edited by Jonathan Ott and Jeremy Bigwood (Seattle Madrona, 1978) and Psilocybe Mushrooms and Their Allies by Paul Stamets (Seattle Homestead Book Co., 1978). Terrence McKenna s Food of the Gods (New York Bantam, 1992) is an entertaining and articulate speculation on the influence of psilocybin on human evolution and the value of the psychedelic experience. 

Gartz s Magic Mushrooms Around the World (1996) and in Paul Stamets s Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World (1996). Both of the latter two books are illustrated with full-color photographs, an essential feature for safe identification of mushrooms in the wild. None of the psilocybin-containing species of mushrooms outside of Mexico are known to have been associated with shamanic healing practices.
