What to do if you are looking for the “ultimate guide for safe mushroom picking”?\u00a0 Frank and Cheeri Rinaldo have got you covered with Safe-pik<\/a>, a flip book of handy mushroom identification cards.\u00a0 Measuring only about 2 1\/2 by 4 inches it could easily fit in your pocket and deals mainly with Psilocybins, the type of mushrooms that contain a naturally occuring psychedelic compound.\u00a0 There is a helpful disclaimer that children should not take mushrooms, one should never trespass, and that mushrooms should be used for the purpose they were intended… mind expansion.<\/p>\n

<\/em>Identification of mushrooms is hardly a new concept as seen by the German publication Naturgeschichte des Pflanzenreiches in Bildern<\/em>\u00a0by Dr. Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert<\/a>. \u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Schubert was a 19th-century German physician, naturalist, and professor in Munich.\u00a0 Naturgeschichte des Pflanzenreiches in Bildern<\/em> is the botanical part of a textbook set, Lehrbuch der Naturgeschichte, <\/em>that includes additonal plates.<\/em>\u00a0 The beautiful hand-colored lithographic plates help to identify and educate the reader to also expand their mind… though perhaps the intent was not in quite<\/em> the same way as the Rinaldos.\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mushrooms may have an even greater role according to mycologist Paul Stamets who states that they play a vital role in the survival of both earth and the human race.\u00a0 Stamets has published many books including\u00a0Mycelium running : how mushrooms can help save the world<\/a><\/em> which can be found here at Harvard.\u00a0 Stamets briefly explains the connection between mushrooms and survival in an amazing video excerpt<\/a> featuring time-lapse footage of mushrooms from the documentary Fantastic Fungi: The Forbidden Fruit<\/em>.<\/p>\n
