CHECK OUT THIS SERIES OF BOOKLETS

that offer additional information for my Field Guide to Wild Mushrooms of Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic.


Here are 9 wild mushroom information 20 page booklets, now expanded, in full color, for beginners and experienced fungus lovers. They range through easy-to-identify edible mushroom species, poisonous mushrooms, edible fungi for advanced mushroomers, magic mushrooms, and keys to identifying mushrooms in editions #1 and #2 of my Field Guide book. The keys are a great help for fungus foraging. All by Bill Russell.



The laws against possession, use and growing of magic psychedelic mushrooms, such as Psilocybe cubensis, are rapidly changing across the U.S.

If growing magic mushrooms where you live has become legal, here is a guide to make it easy for anyone.

This booklet includes growing instructions for species that grow on stumps and logs, wood chips, manure, and on the soil in lawns and woods.

DON’T BREAK THE LAW! THE PENALTIES CAN BE SEVERE. GROW MAGIC MUSHROOMS ONLY WHERE IT HAS BECOME LEGAL.
