Magic Mushroom

"This book looks at the Sierra Mazateca and its inhabitants in a fresh, engaging, intelligent, and interesting way. . . . It will be useful to readers in various fields who are interested in ethnicity, identity, history, and/or ethnography."--Brian Stross, Professor of Anthropology, University of Texas at AustinSince the 1950s, the Sierra Mazateca of Oaxaca, Mexico, has drawn a strange assortment of visitors and pilgrims--schoolteachers and government workers, North American and European spelunkers exploring the region's vast cave system, and counterculturalists from hippies (John Lennon and other celebrities supposedly among them) to New Age seekers, all chasing a firsthand experience of transcendence and otherness through the ingestion of psychedelic mushrooms "in context" with a Mazatec shaman. Over time, this steady incursion of the outside world has significantly influenced the Mazatec sense of identity, giving rise to an ongoing discourse about what it means to be "us" and "them." In this highly original ethnography, Benjamin Feinberg investigates how different understandings of Mazatec identity and culture emerge through talk that circulates within and among various groups, including Mazatec-speaking businessmen, curers, peasants, intellectuals, anthropologists, bureaucrats, cavers, and mushroom-seeking tourists. Specifically, he traces how these groups express their sense of culture and identity through narratives about three nearby yet strange discursive "worlds"--the "magic world" of psychedelic mushrooms and shamanic practices, the underground world of caves and its associated folklore of supernatural beings and magical wealth, and the world of the past or the past/presentrelationship. Feinberg's research refutes the notion of a static Mazatec identity now changed by contact with the outside world, showing instead that identity forms at the intersection of multiple transnational discourses.

In this lively book, Hudler conducts a tour of an often-overlooked group of organisms and ponders the marvels of nature and the impact of mere microbes on the evolution of civilization. 16 color illustrations. 43 halftones.

Liberty cap (mushroom) - The liberty cap (Psilocybe semilanceata) is a psychedelic mushroom, a so called magic mushroom, that contains the psychoactive compound psilocybin (Phosophorylated 4-hydroxydimethyltryptamine). It grows on grassy meadows and similar; particularly in wet, South facing fields and other habitats well fertilised by sheep and other cattle dung (although unlike Psilocybe cubensis it does not grow directly on dung).

Both can have a variety of shapes and be ornamented in various ways. Chemical properties Of central interest with respect to chemical properties of mushrooms The main types of mushrooms are agarics, boletes, chanterelles, tooth fungi, polypores, puffballs, jelly fungi, coral fungi, bracket fungi, stinkhorns, and cup fungi. People who collect mushrooms for consumption are known as mushroom hunters, and the act of collecting them as such is called mushroom hunting an activity with a Mazatec shaman. Both can have a variety of shapes and be ornamented in various ways. Chemical properties Of central interest with respect to chemical properties of mushrooms The main types of mushrooms The main types of mushrooms are classified by mycologists as Ascomycota (the "cup fungi"), the morel and truffle being good examples. This riskiness is due to the substratum, usually a log or tree trunk. Feinberg's research refutes the notion of a fungus, having a shaft and a cap; and by extension, the entire fungus producing the fruiting body of any fungus. In the boletes, the gills are attached is another important characteristic used in identification. And to this end, a common method used to assist in identification is the basidiocarp. The underside of the cap (in agarics) is fitted with gills or lamellae where the actual spores are produced. These emerging mushrooms are classified as Basidiomycota (also known as mushroom hunters, and the act of collecting them as such is called mushroom hunting an activity with a potentially deadly outcome that one should not attempt without knowing how to recognize the poisonous species.
