Mushrooms Demystified (Paperback)
Amazon.com Review
This is the be-all and end-all of mushroom books! Truly an encyclopedia of mushroom facts and lore, lavishly illustrated with full-color photographs, literally everything you need to know about mushrooms, edible or not. Arora has taught mycology for close to twenty years and has hunted and photographed mushrooms across the North American continent. Threaded through the book are his wry and humorous observations and comments, making what could have been a rather dull, “just-the-facts, ma’am” reference book into a really enjoyable read. The stunning photographs of the incredible variety of fungi are fascinating and eye-opening, and while the author gives clear and factual information, the mysterious allure of mushrooms in their countless shapes, sizes and colors is only increased by this huge and delightful book. –Mark Hetts

First Time Salvia Divinorum Experience
One Day I was reading online and was reminded all over the place about everyone doing Salvia Divinorum. I have to confess I was amazed by all the information that people were posting about how the experience is very spiritual.
I finally decided to buy some plain leaf online. Your probably thinking plain leaf this isnt gonna be a very dramatic experience but I will assure you it was. I think there was a reason that saliva effected me in a very dramatic way.
After I placed the order I waited a few days before the small package arrived to my mail box. I couldn’t hardly sleep I wanted to try it so bad. It was really early for me and i didn’t sleep much. I took it into my room opened the ziplock bag examined the texture of the leaves. These leaves were nice and crisp with freshness home grown in OH under HPS lights.
I want to note that I was still very sleepy maybe not even fully awake yet. I went outside to smoke out of a pipe. The first hit i hook off of the pipe didnt seem harsh at all. I held it in for about 25 seconds, then exhaled. I did this about 4 more times, then i started to feel a loss of motor skills. I couldn’t hardly walk.
I made it back to my bed room almost falling down. I hit the bed I remember having very intense thoughts very creative things. As I am on my back on my bed, I start to feel very sleepy and losing track of my thoughts.
I fell asleep on Salvia Divinorum. The next thing I know I was in a world of lots of colors. As I was examining everything, I started to notice how it was weird that I was dreaming but was fully conscious of the dream.
I hear a female voice say Hello, I respond who are you, where did you come from, why are you hear, where am I. Soon after I was flooding the entity with questions. She started talking to me answering my questions so perfectly it seems like it all made since to me.
As she was speaking to me. I was trying to concentrate on her voice but i couldn’t stop noticing the appearance of this entity’s shape. Her shape was not human like, nor was it animal like. The best was i could explain her would be as a shape. She was a weird Circle shape And the color green.
This really started making me think to much and i lost awareness. I couldn’t concentrate. I remember her welcoming me to her world. Then there was something about visiting more often.
Soon after i awake. I recall myself saying that was the weirdest dream I ever had, then i remembered that it was the Salvia Divinorum that caused the experience.
This started me on my research with Salvia Divinorum.
Has anyone else ever fell asleep on Salvia Divinorum ?
Please comment I would love to hear from my readers.
Thanks
