Know The Mushroom Laws In Your Area:  Some readers who receive this Journal live in areas where no mushroom laws exist.  Others, like those living in the USA, must be aware of laws that forbid the possession and cultivation of mushrooms that contain controlled substances.  Psilocybe cubensis is an example of an illegal mushroom in the USA.  As articles are done on an international basis, always keep in mind the laws on these said type mushrooms in your own specific area.  Most all areas allow mushroom spore print samples on paper to aid in the identification of mushrooms found out in the wild.  Questions?  Check with the law from a pay phone.  Write down date, name and badge # of officer spoken with, to confirm any “no laws”  answer given.  Thailand and other legal areas, have no mushroom laws to worry about. 

From John Allen

Hello Steve,
Some new news on the front.  This is about my last contribution to the world of mushrooms, although I have a few other projects to finish off before I completely retire to northern Cambodia.

My latest presentation is an 80 page Magazine Journal, Ethnomycological Journals: Sacred Mushroom Studies Volume VIII:  Consisting of three new articles.  "Sex, Mushrooms, and Rock and Roll," a short biography based on my first mushroom experience hand-written in a 10-page or more to Sasha Shulgin in the 1990s and an exchange of personal communications of six letters between me, Sasha and Jochen Gartz, all talking about the taboo subject of Sex and Drugs as an enhancement to compliment their effects together with the music of Grace Slick’s Manhole.  The article is 60 pages, plus two additional articles on the chemical analysis, occurrence, use, cultivation and SEM Lab work by me, Dr. Sihanonth of Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Dr. Jochen Gartz of the University of Leipzig, Germany, Dan Molter of Ohio,  and Fulvio Castillo Suarez of Jalisco, Mexico.   The article has a full color-cover front and back and 2 additional 11 x 17 inch colored on both sides pages.  Altogether that is 3 full colored 17 X 11 double-sided pages which include the cover and complete centerfold.

Hi Steve, today is my 70th birthday, I am so broke putting this journal together.  You can read about it and see all 11 colored full page images and title page, contents and two pages of text at shroomotopia.org and info about it.  Includes an extra 19 colored photos in the text but numbers 26-250 will only have the three full colored 8 and 1/2 sized color.  These are also two new mushroom articles on chemistry of two new species from the last ten years.

IF it sells, then I will do volume 9 which is 149 pages and 5 authors.  SEM, DNA, Chemistry, cultivation and new species and others from SE Asia.  A 20-year follow-up to all my last years in Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Nam, Indonesia and India.  So here is the cover and back cover. I am waiting on a blurb from Tjakko Stijve.  John  ……….  The said pictures are our Color Photo for #30 TEO.

         My Biggest Contribution To The World of Mushrooms

By S. L. Peele

I was interviewed by a student from Alabama University concerning my research into mushrooms.  He asked me what I thought was my biggest contribution to the world of mushrooms.  During the mid 1980’s, I was involved with a 5 year program that dealt with the search for anti-cancer compounds found in mushrooms.  I worked with a team at the National Cancer Institute (NCI).  I provided extracts from many different wild mushrooms……including ones that produced Controlled Substances like mushrooms from the Psilocybe Genus.  As the NCI is a Federal Institute, the Federal DEA and the like, had no problem with following the work that was going on.  Didn’t take them long to get upset over all this.  I mean, here they had Psilocybin listed as a Scheduled One Compound (this means it had little or no medical benefit, and huge abuse potential), and here I was trying to prove them wrong.  What they did to stop the research, made me declare war on them.  On 4/21/87 I was visited and inspected by two Federal DEA Investigators and an investigator from the HRS Department of Florida.  I was put on notice, that the mushroom extractions I was making available to NCI and to other researchers were classified as “New Investigational Drugs”.  This meant that special proper permits were needed to release said New Investigational Drugs and I did not have them.  For anyone to receive such types of permits, to my knowledge, was impossible.  They halted all my mushroom extraction programs.  They warned me, and handed me the written warnings informing me that if I released any more samples, I would be fined $5,000.00 a day, retro-active back for the past 4 years.  I can tell you, that stopped me from releasing any more samples.  That’s when the war started.  I hired a team of lawyers and got the backing from two Congressmen, Banjanin and Huto.  Six months later, I received a Certified letter, 9/23/87, stating that the decision made on Extractions from Mushrooms being New Investigational Drugs, had been over-turned and no longer existed.  During all this time, all my fellow researchers were contacted by the DEA, and they were told that I was under investigation for releasing prohibited New Investigational Drugs.  This is an old tactic.  Destroy someone’s credibility and their character by connecting them with illegal activity.  This will cause all of them to run away from the person as fast as they can.  No one wants to be linked with such an investigation.

This paved the way so that all other researchers could now investigate and make mushroom extractions available, at no risk of being charged with releasing New Investigational Drugs.  Every time you see a mushroom extract available somewhere, it was I that made it possible.  This has now opened the door for all mushroom researchers around the world.  It has led to many new discoveries about mushrooms.  slp/fmrc

Submitting Spore Print Samples and Articles to This Journal “TEO”

If anyone has an article or something they would like to submit to be in "TEO", please submit to FloridaMycology@cs.com or postal mail to FMRC, POB 18105, Pensacola, FL 32523.  If what you send in is used, you win a year’s free subscription to TEO, Hard Copy Issue.  Other articles found in newspapers and other print, should be sent postal mail.  Any article used earns the sender a year’s free subscription to “TEO”.  “TEO” is the physical issue of this Journal; “TEO” Electronica is the electronic version of issue.  So, be sure to include your postal address when submitting any article.  Mail Call entries earn no free subscription.  You may also elect and state not to have your name published or listed with article.  Ideas about regular columns by you are welcomed, as are all

other ideas that you feel will be helpful to this Journal.   Because this Journal also comes with spore print samples affixed inside, you may submit mushroom spore prints on paper to be placed in this Journal.  Several full sheets are needed so that everyone receives a sample.  Examples of mushroom spore print samples affixed in past "TEO" Issues:  Amanita muscaria, Psilocybe cubensis, Amanita pantherina, Psilocybe azurescens, and Panaeolus foeniscecii/cyanescens. 

Spores should be sent to FMRC, POB 18105, Pensacola, FL 32523.  Actual live mushroom spore print samples are affixed into journals for identifying purposes only.  They can be compared to suspected found

mushroom's spores to help in making a positive identification.  No growing claims are made or implied.  Any articles, spores, or other submissions that are used earn you a year's free Hard Copy Subscription. 

Submitting spore samples for Journal entries entitles you to one year’s free subscription to the "Physical" issues published by FMRC.  Only select prints that you are sure of identification.  Do not submit samples you cannot identify.  "TMC" and "TEO" ("THE MUSHROOM CULTURE", The Journal Of Mushroom Cultivation (TMC) and "TEONANACATL", The International Journal Of Psychoactive Mushrooms TEO), both published by FMRC, still remain the only "Color" mushroom journals that come with mushroom spore print samples.  This is mainly due to reader collection and the fact it is quite troublesome to place the said samples in this Journal.  To this date, I know of no one else who has tried taking on this task.  Mushroom prints should be taken on paper.  Any dark colored spores can be taken on white paper.  Light colored or white spores should be taken on a dark colored paper.  This will ensure contrast and make the spores easy to see.  Seven to nine complete sheets should be submitted.  Place and affix (with staple or tape) cover sheet over each sheet of prints.  Send date and place collected. 

Because these issues have this unique feature of mushroom spore print samples to aid in the correct identification of mushrooms collected out in the wild, they have a cut off of 3,000 subscribers.  This makes original Hard Copy back issues of "TMC" and "TEO" rare and the most valuable to collect.

This Journal's "Hard Copy" is postal mailed the first week of the Issue's Publication month/date.  This is usually the first Monday of the said month.  Because games and prizes offered in this Journal are restricted to postal mail only, the Electronic Issue is not released until 7 days after the postal mailing of the "Hard Copy".  This is done to prevent unfair advantage if both were released at the same time.  To view the

During the Stimulus Sale, your cost is only $150.00!

With well over $700.00 worth of free IMGN benefits, this makes just the $200.00 worth of your selection of any free spore samples, from the world’s largest mushroom spore bank, even more better!  And don't forget the one year's free subscription to "THE  MUSHROOM  CULTURE", The Journal of Mushroom Cultivation (TMC).  It is your communication's link to what is going on in the World of Mushrooms.

FMRC's  Stimulus  Sale #1.....IMGN Lifetime Membership with all benefits   $150.00

(Out of USA $180.00)

Doctor's  Degree  Mushroom  Correspondence  Course.  Go for details:

http://www.mushroomsfmrc.com/gpage1.html

This is FMRC's Main Catalog.  Scroll down until you come to:

COLLEGE OF BASIDIOMYCETES The Study of Gilled Mushrooms

FMRC was the first to introduce home correspondence courses to study mushrooms. Certificate of Completion, from Associate to Doctor’s are offered. Don't be fooled by "come lately" courses that others have now started. If you want to learn about mushrooms in the privacy of your home, and do so at your own pace, sign up with the only one that has more than 30 years of experience. No one else but FMRC can give you the real training you desire to have. Courses start as low as $100.00.   Financing is not available for this Sale.

 Tuition Schedule:

                 #30 TEO November 2009  Page 11   Copyrighted Material

Doctor......................$500.00       Master…………………..$260.00

Bachelor...................180.00         Associate………………..100.00

Additional materials needed to complete Doctor or Master Degrees of Completion are all furnished. These may include specimens, spores, cultures, reagents, and other reading materials like "The Mushroom Researcher ($50.00 value, and "Growing Mushrooms Without Contaminations" (a $25.00 value). Students living outside the US must add an additional $40.00 to cover "Out Of Country" Airmail and Handling.

Although our "Certificate of Completion" degrees are nonacademic and cannot be used for credit on academic courses, knowledge obtained through these courses can be transferred to academic credits by taking CLEP tests offered by most major Universities and Colleges. Certificates offered may not be acceptable when obtaining positions where an academic degree is required. This is the reason why tuition may sound to be on the "cheap" side. If degrees were accredited through a College or University, this would cause an increase by thousands of dollars in tuition fees. Back years ago I was told by the

University of North West Florida, “To accredit FMRC’s Doctor’s Degree would cost over $26,000.00.” And my cut is not even in that figure. Because many of the subjects discussed are not offered by most academic institutions, I decided to make them available. I many times talk to medical doctors from Poison Control Centers, working on identifying mushrooms involved in mushroom poisonings. They find themselves learning a lot from me about identifying mushrooms, especially from spore microscopy and taking mushroom spore prints on paper to see their color. They openly relay to me how Mushroom ID “Challenged” they really are. When I tell them about these very same courses and how they can take them at their own pace and time, they even sign up! These degrees actually show higher specific learning accomplishments than what most Universities and Colleges offer. Persons holding academic degrees can present our "Certificate of Completion" as supplemental credentials, and proof of further learning into the specific area of Basidiomycetes.

When you order this Stimulus Sale #2, our Doctor's Degree Course, you get all the needed and provided materials and books that are listed above.  All you have to do is buy your text book at any book store, the National Audubon Society…."Field Guide to North American Mushrooms by Gary H. Lincoff.  You need a good field guide anyway, and this is really a good one.  It is available from FS Book Store (1-916-771-4203) for under $20.00.  “Tell them” FMRC said you had this book.  

FMRC's Stimulus Sale #2..........Doctor's Degree Course $200.00

(Out of USA $240.00).

Want to save even more?

Purchase both Stimulus sales, #1 IMGN Membership and #2 the Doctor's Mushroom course for only.........$300.00!  (Out of USA $370.00)  That’s over $1,200.00 worth of items for just $300.00.

                                 Will Bacillus subtilis End Green Mold?
Two Canadians, Nader Gheshlaghi and Jack Verdellen, have develoed a strain of Bacillus subtilis that acts as a green mold inhibitor.  This information comes from the US Federal News Service, Sept. 6, 2009.  There is even a Patent given to Rol-Land Farms, Ontario, Canada.  It provides a novel bio-control agent for the prevention and/or reduction of mold during mushroom production.  It utilizes Bacillus spp. as a natural, organic agent for the control of mold caused by Trichoderma spp.  For more on this see International Patent Publication No. WO/2009/105878 published Sept. 3.  The original Patent was filed in Canada and can be seen at:

                            More on the “Ethnomycological Journal”

A note from John Allen about this new Edition:

These are costing me close to Sixty dollars per copy because of the color and the twenty-six, 11 x 17 size pages which when folded come to 104 pages with full color double sided cover and two full size double sided colored inserts and centerfold.  Plus 49 color images in the text of the three articles. 

The first 25 copies are $50.00 each and I have to give ten away.  one to Sasha Shulgin, four to the other four authors on the two papers on chemical analysis and cultivation. 
One each to the four scholars who took the time to read and review it and write blurbs for the back cover and finally one copy to the Library of Congress for the copyright.  That leaves 15 deluxe all colored and signed by me copies.

Then I have bar codes for the other 225 copies of the limited edition and those will only have the cover in color and all the * full 8 1/2 x 11 sized paintings will be in black and white and 59 black and white photos.  This is costing a fortune and I have had many problems with the printers who first screwed up the color on the 49 pages and I had to get a refund, now I found that when they printed the covers and two other full pages of color, they forgot to use cover stock for the fricken cover, so now I have to go back again to these jerk-offs who make a good shroom guide in color for me and their copier was shitty for the 49 pages of color in the text of the three articles.

The albino cubes came out brown, as did all the black and white images (9) including scanning electron microscopy images that were black and white and came out brownish-yellowish.

F’ed my whole week up……….so Steven, go to my new site at:

The printer wanted $900 dollars to print 35 copies of this deluxe edition with the 11 large colored photos and cover and centerfold and 49 colored photos in the text.  SO far, those

            #30 TEO November 2009  Page 14   Copyrighted Material

first ten images are costing me close to Sixty dollars each to make, and I have to give those ten away.  I do not even get a copy for myself.  I have sent out some abstracts to databases hopefully a few will list my journal so I can sell reprints to pay for printing the cheaper $35 dollar version with only the full double-sided cover and the rest in black and white………..………..The deluxe copies are $50.00 plus $6.00 priority mail U.S.

Test Results Indicate That Magic Mushrooms
Increases Brain Activity

http://www.live-pr.com/en/test-results-indicate-that-magic-mushrooms-r1048267502.htm

31.03.2009 Magic mushrooms
are used by our forefathers to increase their brain activities to a higher
level. Many people think that these mushrooms are drugs, but it’s not. These
mushrooms have medical properties, according to the professionals of
magic-mushroom.se.

(live-PR.com) - Amsterdam, March 2009 -
“Until 1980’s these magic mushrooms are used in various kinds of medicines by
various Pharmaceuticals.  Some of the
important magic mushrooms are Panaeolus
cyanescens & Psilocybe cubensis. These mushrooms have an old history
dating back to 5000 years. Various kinds of components are present in these
mushrooms to increase your brain activity. Let’s take a look at the history of
these magic mushrooms. Ancient paintings of magic mushrooms have been found in
caves of tassili plateau of northern Algeria, says Mr. Duncan Svensson
of magic-mushroom.se

He added that, “In the middle
of 16th century Spanish priest first recorded the use of these magic mushrooms
by the Aztecs.  He wrote” the first thing
to be eaten at the feast were magic mushrooms which they eat with honey and
after these, those people began to dance, some sang and others wept and at last
they spoke with one other about the visions they have seen”.  In 1956 Roger Heim, a botanist, requested a
pharmaceutical company named Sandoz to do research of this mushrooms and they
found the active components like psilocybin & psilocin inside this magic
mushrooms”.

Speaking on the move, Mr.
Duncan Svensson said, “The various ingredients present in this magic mushrooms
are Psilocybin ,psilocin, baeocystin and norbaeocystin.  These Panaeolus
cyanescens and Psilocybe cubensis
are reportedly seen in countries like Australia,
India, Mexico, Bolivia,
the Philippines, Thailand, France,
and Brazil.
 Some of the precautionary steps taken
before taking this magic mushrooms are you should take these mushrooms on an
empty stomach, because having food in your stomach will slow the absorption of
psilocybin.  Always take same amount of
mushrooms.  0.25–1 gram is usually
sufficient to produce a mild effect, 1–2.5 grams usually provides a moderate
effect.  2.5 grams and higher usually
produces strong effects.  For most
people, 3.5 dried grams (1/8 oz) would be considered a high dose and may
produce an intense experience”.

LSD Proves to be Miracle Cure for Cluster Headaches

by David Gutierrez, staff
writer

(NaturalNews) A review published
in the respected journal Neurology has confirmed widespread evidence that LSD
can be used to successfully treat an otherwise devastating and crippling health
condition known as "cluster headaches."

Often confused with
migraines, cluster headaches come in attacks so debilitating that they have
been known to drive sufferers to kill themselves, earning them the nickname
"suicide headaches." Because 90 percent of sufferers experience a
form known as episodic cluster headaches, in which attacks come regularly at
the same time of day for a few months before vanishing for up to a year, they
are also known as "alarm clock headaches."

Researchers do not know what
causes the headaches, and there is no accepted treatment. One business owner
who goes by the pseudonym "Flash" on Internet message boards related
to the condition relates his experience with various treatments: "My
doctor did the worst thing you can do to a person with cluster headache: he put
me on normal analgesics. Aspirin, paracetamol, codeine -- doubling up on the
codeine -- taking whatever you're allowed to each day," Flash says.
"It took the lining off my stomach, and it aggravated the attacks until
they got out of control."  Other
popular treatments such as beta-blockers, blood pressure medications and
antidepressants led to other dangerous side effects, such as a slowing of the
heart rate and psychotic symptoms.

                                                   #29 TEO August 2009  Page 02   Copyrighted Material

Eventually, Flash decided to
experiment with LSD, and found that after one dose, his attacks immediately
stopped for the next two years. When he felt the next attack looming, he
experimented with psilocybin mushrooms ("magic mushrooms"), which
were just as effective. The mushrooms were even effective at stopping an attack
that he had deliberately exacerbated with alcohol, as a test.

Anecdotal accounts like
Flash's have attracted the attention of some researchers, who note that many
hallucinogenic compounds are chemically similar to certain neurotransmitters
and migraine medications.

I took
Russian History in High School.  The teacher taught more than Russian
History, Marx's steps to conquer the capitalistic world, along these lines!

"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and
more of expensive goods, houses, and technology, pushing them to take more and
more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable.  The unpaid
debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be 'nationalized' and
the state will have to take the road which leads to communism.  "Karl
Marx(1818-1883) Das Kapital,1867.

Does all this sound familiar?  slp/FMRC

Testing Gymnopilus
luteofolius

http://erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_article9.shtml



Results of laboratory analysis for a specimen of the Gymnopilus luteofolius mushroom, which was
rumored to contain psilocybin.  The
tested mushroom showed evidence of bluing but lab analysis revealed that the
sample did not contain psilocybin or psilocin.

“We submitted two small cuttings to CVT, one from the cap
and one from the stem. Using methanol as the solvent, they tested the material
with LC/MS (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry). The lab reported that
they found no detectable levels of psilocybin or psilocin in the Gymnopilus
luteofolius samples and described their testing sensitivity as "down
into the picogram level", meaning that they would have been able to detect
psilocybin or psilocin even if the amount present was less than one billionth
of a gram.”

Acid, dust, base, beans, boy,
black tar, indo, kind, chronic, rolls, roofies, smack, crack, crank, tweek.
These are all words that title substances that culturally, are as important as
the languages we speak. It helps define us as a society. Worldwide, drugs are
as diverse as people living in it; yet it is what all societies in this day and
age have in common.  Drug use is a
fundamental part of the human experience. The only society known to man that
did not use some form of drug is the Inuit natives of Alaska, that is, until the white man brought
them alcohol. To fully understand cultural drug use in any society, we must
focus on the common thread that binds all society’s drug use together: Why do
people seek altered states of consciousness? As Andrew Weil points out, from
our birth we are fascinated with the conditions in our brain that produce
euphoria. Who can remember riding a merry-go-round as a child, leaning your
head back, watching the sky as it spin out of control, just for that moment of
euphoria?

                      #29 TEO August 2009  Page 03   Copyrighted Material

The technical side of drug use is
simple: When we consume drugs, it causes our brains to release
neurotransmitters like endorphins, adrenaline, and serotonins, but it’s not
just from drug use that releases these chemicals. Naturally our brains release
these chemicals in response to our world around us for the purpose of needed
energy, pain relief, and sedation. When a drug causes this action though, it
will flood the brain with much more chemicals than the brain would normally
release.

Drugs have a variety of different
uses and purposes in society: medical, social lubricant, heighten sexual
experience, religious rituals, spiritual awakening, psychological analysis, to
enter different realms, to escape emotional pain, to forget the past, to
remember the past, and so on. The reasons are almost as numerous as the amount
of drugs themselves. Every society condones some drugs and condemns others. In
the United States,
alcohol and tobacco are acceptable, where marijuana and opium are not. In
certain countries of the Middle East and Asia,
alcohol is thought to be from the devil, yet marijuana and opium are a way of
life. Neither is right nor wrong, its just part of the human experience. There
is safe uses of all drugs, just as there are dangerous uses of all drugs;
however, contrary to the popular belief in the United States, there are no drugs
that do not have an important role on earth.

Of the drug culture in the United States,
there are dozens of different sub-cultures and then splinter into smaller
groups yet. The most popular and oldest drug used on earth: alcohol. Nearly
half of the world’s population uses this incredibly simple chemical compound.
Throughout its existence, it has been demonized and glorified. It has been the
source of reported miracles. It has been the catalyst of countless acts of
violence. It has spurred creativity in artists and it has killed. In the United States,
there are many different subcultures of alcohol users all containing unique
attributes that define them. There are rot gut alcoholics, wine aficionados,
the martini crowd, and those that simply say, “I love beer! “

The fastest growing culture
worldwide is the “potheads.” This particular culture, that celebrates their own
holiday, 420, has found some protection from the law in the United States in places like California where it has been legalized for
medical use. Because of how long this culture has existed, they created their
own linguistic code for clandestine communication, which is where the term 420
derived from, meaning, “It is time to smoke.” Now on April 20^th,
4/20, pot smokers all over the United
States celebrate by holding “smoke outs,” in
some communities festivals are attended by thousands of people ever year. Like
this gathering in Colorado
where at 4:20pm, on April 20^th, 2009, everyone exhaled marijuana
smoke at the same time. This culture is supported by organizations like NORML,
the publication High Times Magazine, and has many religions based on marijuana
or includes its ritual use.

Likewise, cocaine and heroin
users have their own cultural distinctions, linguistics, and codes of ethics.

Religion plays an intrinsic role
in the social acceptance of a society’s drugs. Christianity approves the use of
alcohol due to Christ’s first miracle of creating wine from water and because
of its use during the Eucharist; therefore, in the United States where Christianity is
the predominant religion, alcohol is acceptable and legal. In the Middle East, where Islam is the predominant religion and
condemns the use of alcohol, it is illegal and a punishable offense in many of
countries. There are other religions that not only accept drugs, but venerate
the use of a variety of drugs. In Hinduism, their earliest text, the Rig Veda,
speaks frequently of the hallucinogen called soma. Stephen Peele, a
professional mycologist and founder of the FMRC, believes soma to be Amanita Muscaria, or the Fly Agaric
Mushrooms because of certain properties of this species. This is the mushroom
that is depicted in Alice in Wonderland. Also in Hinduism, there is a
group of ascetic followers of their Lord Shiva that believe in smoking ganja or
marijuana, for the purpose of spiritual enlightenment. However smoking
marijuana not in connection with Shiva is believed to be a sin.

Natives of the Americas,
infamous for their ritual use of hallucinogens, believed that psychoactive
plants spoke to them. The shamans in the Amazon rainforest discovered a drug
known as ayahuasca, which is a combination of two different plants. One of
which, temporarily stops a person’s metabolism with an added sedative, and the
other plant contain a chemical known as tryptamine. Normal ingestion of
tryptamines, most of the chemical is destroyed by a person’s metabolism, but
when the metabolism becomes temporarily inhibited, the tryptamine’s effects are
a suggested five times stronger. The amazing part of this, the shamans found
these two specific plants out of the billions in the rainforest, which supports
their theory that the plants talked to them. Throughout central and North
America tribes such as Kiowa, Sioux, Wichita,
and Navajo practice shamanism using different hallucinogens as a tool to
contact their creator and ancestors for guidance and insight. These tribes used
a variety of different plants like peyote, jimson weed, and psilocybe
mushrooms. Some tribes valued these plants so much that they hid their
knowledge and usage from the European explorers. Some explorers did witness
these rituals that labeled them demonic acts because upon witnessing their
rituals, the explorers believed that they were being possessed. For the native
tribes, psychoactive plants are not, “drugs”, but a vehicle given by the
creator to the shamans. Following in the teachings of the Native Americans, a
culture surfaced worldwide called entheogens meaning, “God within“. This group
has studied both the medical aspects of hallucinogenic interaction in the human
body as well as the spirituality, introspection, and romance of these
psychoactive plants. The entheogen movement began from anthropological studies
on Native American from the 1880s to the 1960s. These studies inspired the
hippy movement of the late 1960s with information, not new, but newly brought
to light by books and literature published by writers like Aldous Huxley,
Terence McKenna, Carlos Castaneda, Gordon Wasson and Dr. Andrew Weil. During
the 60s there was an explosion of experimentation with these psychoactive
plants and extracts. The hippy culture in the US
began with studies involving the effects of hallucinogens at college campuses
from Harvard to Berkley
performed by individuals like Timothy Leary. This erupted into a phenomenon
that spawned the likes of Ken Kessey and the merry

                          #29 TEO August 2009  Page 05   Copyrighted Material

pranksters, developed new musical
groups like the Grateful Dead, and laid the ground work for one of the most
infamous music festivals ever, Woodstock.
The hippy culture, whether people like it or not, has impacted the US to this day
and probably for decades to come.

In the early 90s, a culture
emerged, probably spawning from the disco era of the seventies and early
eighties, which referred to themselves as ravers.  Ravers could easily be identified by their
baggy clothing style, techno music, and drug of choice, ecstasy. Raves were
originally known for lasting from seven pm to seven am with a DJ “spinning” records,
which amounts to combining two or more musical tracks into one. The bass
pounding music drove teenagers into trances of dance and public affection with
certain a hippy flavor. The drug culture, an ever changing entity, will always
reflect a society out look of the world. This is societies answer for breaking
the monotony of life and making the most of it. For those Barry McCaffreys,
that think that stamping out drugs is possible, “wake up!” they were here
before you and they will still be here when you’re gone.

In conclusion, cultural drug use,
despite various laws throughout history, has made itself an intrinsic part of
humanity. Even at times when possession of certain drugs was punishable by
death, it has prevailed as not just a desire, but as a necessity of the human
experience. Not only has drugs brought societies a way to relax at the end of
the day, but has helped create religions, inspire art, influence musicians, aid
healthcare, and simply entertain our imaginations. Although one of the most
controversial topics in history, all societies agree on the need for
drugs.  Cgibson

To:       FloridaMycology@cs.com       

Dear Mr. Peele, your research on
the PSTMP compound is exceedingly interesting, and, as the DEA's intrusion
shows, dangerously so. Do you think that you've discovered the fruit of the
tree of life? I've read of Psilocybe  tampanensis mushrooms and sclerotia being
consumed for their mind-altering effect, but would this be feasible, that is
could specimens producing PSTMP be safely consumed? I mean, the effects you
observed on the insects, it's almost unbelievable... does P. cubensis or any other species produce this compound?  I've long been disgusted by these unjust
laws, thank you ever so much for such a brightly blazing sword.  Cordially, Conrad

Conrad........the mushroom was
induced using artificial means, to produce the isolated compound.  It does not normally occur.  The research on this Compound can be found
under Mushroom Research Papers, off of our Main Menu at www.mushroomsfmrc.com.
Thank You, for your interest in FMRC! Highest Regards, Stephen L. Peele,
Curator FMRC

Submitting Spore Print Samples and
Articles to This Journal “TEO”

If anyone has an article or something they
would like to submit to be in "TEO", please submit to
FloridaMycology@cs.com or postal mail to FMRC, POB 18105, Pensacola, FL 32523. 
If what you send in is used, you win a year’s free subscription to TEO,
Hard Copy Issue.  Other articles found in
newspapers and other print, should be sent postal mail.  Any article used earns the sender a year’s free
subscription to “TEO”.  “TEO” is the
physical issue of this Journal; “TEO” Electronica is the electronic version of
issue.  So, be sure to include your
postal address when submitting any article. 
Mail Call entries earn no free subscription.  You may also elect and state not to have your
name published or listed with article. 
Ideas about regular columns by you are welcomed, as are all

other ideas that you feel will be helpful
to this Journal.   Because this Journal also comes
with spore print

                             #29 TEO August 2009  Page 11   Copyrighted Material

samples affixed inside, you may submit
mushroom spore prints on paper to be placed in this Journal.  Several full sheets are needed so that
everyone receives a sample.  Examples of
mushroom spore print samples affixed in past "TEO" Issues:  Amanita
muscaria, Psilocybe cubensis, Amanita pantherina, Psilocybe azurescens, and Panaeolus
foeniscecii/cyanescens. 

Spores should be sent to FMRC, POB 18105, Pensacola, FL
32523.  Actual live mushroom spore print samples are
affixed into journals for identifying purposes only.  They can be compared to suspected found

mushroom's spores to help in making a
positive identification.  No growing
claims are made or implied.  Any
articles, spores, or other submissions that are used earn you a year's free
Hard Copy Subscription. 

Submitting spore samples for Journal
entries entitles you to one year’s free subscription to the
"Physical" issues published by FMRC. 
Only select prints that you are sure of identification.  Do not submit samples you cannot
identify.  "TMC" and
"TEO" ("THE MUSHROOM CULTURE", The Journal Of Mushroom
Cultivation (TMC) and "TEONANACATL", The International Journal Of
Psychoactive Mushrooms TEO), both published by FMRC, still remain the only
"Color" mushroom journals that come with mushroom spore print
samples.  This is mainly due to reader
collection and the fact it is quite troublesome to place the said samples in
this Journal.  To this date, I know of no
one else who has tried taking on this task. 
Mushroom prints should be taken on paper.  Any dark colored spores can be taken on white
paper.  Light colored or white spores
should be taken on a dark colored paper. 
This will ensure contrast and make the spores easy to see.  Seven to nine complete sheets should be
submitted.  Place and affix (with staple or tape) cover sheet over
each sheet of prints.  Send date and
place collected. 

Because these issues have this unique feature of
mushroom spore print samples to aid in the correct identification of mushrooms
collected out in the wild, they have a cut off of 3,000 subscribers.  This makes original Hard Copy back issues of
"TMC" and "TEO" rare and the most valuable to collect.

Scroll down until you come to:

COLLEGE OF BASIDIOMYCETES The Study of Gilled Mushrooms

FMRC was the first to introduce home correspondence courses
to study mushrooms. Certificate of Completion, from Associate to Doctor’s are
offered. Don't be fooled by "come lately" courses that others have
now started. If you want to learn about mushrooms in the privacy of your home,
and do so at your own pace, sign up with the only one that has more than 30
years of experience. No one else but FMRC can give you the real training you
desire to have. Courses start as low as $100.00. Financing is available and
pre-approved!

 Tuition Schedule:

Doctor......................$500.00

Master.......................260.00

Bachelor...................180.00

                         
#29 TEO August 2009  Page
14   Copyrighted Material

Associate.................100.00 Additional materials needed
to complete Doctor or Master

degrees of Completion are all furnished. These may include
specimens, spores, cultures, reagents, and other reading materials like
"The Mushroom Researcher ($50.00 value, and "Growing Mushrooms
Without Contaminations" (a $25.00 value). Students living outside the US
must add an additional $40.00 to cover "Out Of Country" Airmail and
Handling.

Although our "Certificate of Completion" degrees are
nonacademic and cannot be used for credit on academic courses, knowledge
obtained through these courses can be transferred to academic credits by taking
CLEP tests offered by most major Universities and Colleges. Certificates
offered may not be acceptable when obtaining positions where an academic degree
is required. This is the reason why tuition may sound to be on the
"cheap" side. If degrees were accredited through a College or
University, this would cause an increase by thousands of dollars in tuition
fees. Back years ago I was told by the

University
of North West Florida,
“To accredit FMRC’s Doctor’s Degree would cost over $26,000.00.” And my cut is
not even in that figure. Because many of the subjects discussed are not offered
by most academic institutions, I decided to make them available. I many times
talk to medical doctors from Poison Control Centers, working on identifying
mushrooms involved in mushroom poisonings. They find themselves learning a lot
from me about identifying mushrooms, especially from spore microscopy and
taking mushroom spore prints on paper to see their color. They openly relay to
me how Mushroom ID “Challenged” they really are. When I tell them about these
very same courses and how they can take them at their own pace and time, they
even sign up! These degrees actually show higher specific learning
accomplishments than what most Universities and Colleges offer. Persons holding
academic degrees can present our "Certificate of Completion" as
supplemental credentials, and proof of further learning into the specific area
of Basidiomycetes.

When you order this Stimulus Sale #2, our Doctor's Degree
Course, you get all the needed and provided materials and books that are listed
above.  All you have to do is buy your
text book at any book store, the National Audubon Society…."Field Guide to
North American Mushrooms by Gary H. Lincoff. 
You need a good field guide anyway, and this is really a good one.  It is available from FS Book Store
(1-916-771-4203) for under $20.00.  “Tell
them” FMRC said you had this book.  

FMRC's Stimulus Sale

(Out of USA
$240.00).

Want to save even more?

Purchase both Stimulus sales, #1 IMGN Membership and #2 the
Doctor's Mushroom course for only.........$300.00!  (Out of USA $370.00)  That’s over $1,200.00 worth of items for just
$300.00.

Know The Mushroom Laws In Your Area:  Some readers who receive this Journal live
in areas where no mushroom laws exist. 
Others, like those living in the USA, must be aware of laws that
forbid the possession and cultivation of mushrooms that contain controlled
substances.  Psilocybe cubensis
is an example of an illegal mushroom in the USA.  As articles are done on an international
basis, always keep in mind the laws on these said type mushrooms in your own
specific area.  Most all areas allow
mushroom

spore print samples on paper to aid in the
identification of mushrooms found out in the wild.  Questions? 
Check with the law from a pay phone. 
Write down date, name and badge # of officer spoken with, to confirm any
“no laws”  answer given.  Thailand and other legal areas, have no
mushroom laws to worry about.

                              Cannabis
compound can help cells

February
19th, 2009 in Medicine & Health / Research

Neurones which have been labelled with a fluorescent marker.

(PhysOrg.com) --
Cannabis has been used recreationally and for medicinal purposes for centuries,
yet its 60 plus active components are only partly understood. Now scientists
have discovered how a compound in cannabis can help cells to function in our
bodies, and aid recovery after a damaging event. In a paper published
in the Journal of Neuroscience, the researchers report on their studies
into cannabidiol - a naturally occurring molecule found in cannabis. Also known
as CBD, it is not the constituent that gives the high - that compound is called
tetrahydrocannabinol or THC - and so may be more acceptable as a drug
treatment. Both compounds are currently used in a pharmaceutical medicine to
help patients relieve pain and other symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. Now
researchers have discovered how CBD actually works within brain cells. By
interacting with mitochondria - which are the power generators of all cells -
it can help maintain normal levels of calcium allowing cells to function properly
and providing a greater resistance to damage. 
Disturbance of calcium levels has long been associated with a number of
brain disorders. So the finding could have implications for the development of
new treatments for disorders related to malfunctioning mitochondria.

Dr Bettina Platt, from the University's School of Medical Sciences, said: "Scientists
have known for a long time that cannabidiol can help with pain relief but we
never really knew how it worked.  "However
we have discovered what it actually does at the cellular level.

"We are hoping that our findings can
instruct the development of cannabidiol based treatments for disorders related
to mitochondrial dysfunction such as Parkinson's disease or Huntington's
disease."  Nevertheless, Dr Platt
warned that smoking cannabis would not necessarily have the same effect.  "There are different strains of cannabis
out there and many no longer contain cannabidiol. In fact, these have been
deliberately bred out to enhance the THC content," she said.

"As a result, smoking cannabis would not
necessarily have the same beneficial effect, and could even exacerbate neuronal
damage."  Provided by University
of Aberdeen

Subj:    request for
an interview           

Date:    3/15/2009       

From:   cgibson

To:       FloridaMycology@cs.com       

Dear Mr. Peele,  #28
TEO May 2009  Page 02   Copyrighted Material

 My name is
Christopher Alan Gibson and I’m a college student at Johnson County
Community College. Back
in the late 1990's I studied mycology when I first spoke with you. In my
anthropology class, world cultures, I’m involved in a group presentation on the
topic of "drugs: the worldwide difference in social (medicinal and
recreational uses) use and social opinion" your opinion on any aspects of
our topic would be greatly respected and appreciated. If I could conduct a
telephone interview at a time of your convenience, I would be most grateful.  Please email me, thank you.

cgibson.........here are some of my feelings I have
published in the past, dealing with mushrooms. 
You can call to get additional info, but I think the things I send, say
it all.

Magic Mushrooms.....Risks concerning the health of the
individual:

….Physical dependence does not occur with mushrooms.

Level of psychological dependence:

….It depends on which definition of dependence of the mind
is used.  If this is the same as an
addiction, then there is no risk.  However,
there are users, who like the experience in such a way, that they would like to
do it again, in such a case you could say there is a very low psychological
dependence.

Level of the risk of acute toxicity:

….Every now and then there are incidents where medical
assistance is required.  This is usually
caused by anxiety and panic attacks. The use of mushrooms cannot always be

held as the only cause………(Psilocybin is the least toxic of
all the Psychoactives)  #14 TEO  Copyrighted Material

                                       -----------------------------------------------------

                                        Are Mushroom Laws Too Harsh???

When it comes to mushrooms, do any of the laws make sense?
People are free to join the Army, be a policeman, skydive, Bull Fight, base
jump, ski in avalanche-prone mountains, drive race cars at over 200 mph,
mountain climb, get in the ring with Mike Tyson, hang glide, drive an
automobile (they say this is the most dangerous thing a person does every day),
smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, and go to the Space Station. Do these
activities seem more dangerous than eating a mushroom? Do you know how many
people died last year from doing these types of things? Just smoking and
drinking killed well over one-half million! Do you know how many people died
last year from eating a magic mushroom? Not one person. That's because
Psilocybin is the least toxic of all the known Psychoactives.  Pot, even nicotine and caffeine, are more lethal.  This information on all the LD/50 claims made
here can be found in The Merck Index. 
Responsible adults should not be placed in jails and prisons for such a
safe activity. If mushroom laws are to exist, they must be fair! They should be
as our Alcohol Laws are (even though mushrooms are no way near the problems of
alcohol). No driving. No minors. No sales to minors. Legal "Small
Grows" like making your own wine.

I'm telling you that the local whiskey store down the street
in your area, is responsible for much more harm to society than any mushroom
will ever be.  And yet, this goes on
without any attention.  I have always
thought that any laws written on mushrooms cannot

exist.  For a plant to
be illegal, the law requires that it be named illegal.  Like Pot, it is named.....like Opium Poppy,
it is named.  No mushroom (Federal) has
ever been named.

The Florida State Supreme Court stated "It would be
unconstitutional to name a mushroom because the normal individual cannot
understand the law."  Contact

Nearly 20 years ago a mushroom compound was discovered that
halted the aging process within living cells. It was tested in over 100
different insects at the University
of Arizona.....every one
showed positive results! That's every bug! Why did our U.S. Federal DEA and the
Florida State HRS governments get so upset and stop this research? Why all the
"hoopla" over a new bio-rationally designed insecticide?  Was it because they did not want to kill more
bugs? No. The impact of this discovery was far more paramount than just a new
way to kill bugs. And it was from a Psilocybe Mushroom! Well, what would that
have to do with anything?

I already knew what this compound was doing from many other
tests. I had talked to Dr. Joe at Arizona
about it and he really wanted to look it over. So, I just sent him a sample to
test. All he did was confirming what we already knew...........

If I wanted to get some psilocybin mushrooms for research in
California,
would it be possible?

cindysh .....Your email gave me my first laugh today.  CA, back in the 80's, was the first state to
make even just the possession of these type spores illegal.  Always thought this was really stupid because
many of these very same type mushrooms grow right there in CA!  Liberty Caps even grow by the thousands right
there on the ground around its House of Representatives.  They are the very ones who started the Bill
to outlaw these spores......while they have thousands growing right there.  Too bad no one arrested all of them, not only
for all those spores, but like they usually do, cultivation, possession,
distribution, you know, all those other charges they tack on.  Maybe right on down to "being ugly in
public."

FMRC does its best to obey all laws concerning mushrooms,
so, we do not ship these types of items to CA. 
Perhaps make some hunting trips there, or one day come visit FL.

Subj:    to grow the
Amanita Muscaria            

Date:    3/7/2009         

From:   zorroel 

To:       FloridaMycology@cs.com       

Dear Sir: I'm looking for information on techniques for
cultivating the much beloved Amanita Muscaria--whether indoors or out. I have
20 young pine trees in a double row that might be ideal for propagation.  I would be grateful for any information.

Thanks, Tom Allen

Tom.......I have published many articles dealing with
this.  The pine trees you speak of will
be your best chance for success. 
Disperse a cut off, of a print of Amanita muscaria in a two liter Pepsi
bottle or the like, of water.  Shake for
5 minutes.  Do this every day for 5
days.  At this time, the spores will all
be mixed in with the water and hold proper moisture.  Go out 5 to 10 feet away from each tree.  With a small digger, search around several
inches down and locate the small roots of the pine tree.  Once you learn what these roots look like,
you will be able to move about and do your work at a good speed. 

Find the tiny and smallest roots you can.  Shake your bottle, and disperse a teaspoon of
the water on this area.  Cover it all
back up.  Do this 3 or 4 times around
each tree. 

This is no quick process. 
Depending on factors, 3 to 5 years will pass before the first fruits
will appear.  If trees are under ten
years old, it may be 7 to 10 years before they are first seen.  To obtain more information on the articles I
have published, go to www.mushroomsfmrc.com and click "Catalog" off
of the Main Menu.  Scroll down until you
come to the Back Issues of TMC.  As you
search through these, you will see said articles listed.  You can order any of these Back Issues.  All the Issues #01 through to #69 are
available on CD-ROM "THE 
GOSPEL  OF  MUSHROOMS".

We list this mushroom's spores under our Spore Bank.  Hope this helps.  slp/fmrc

                                                        Pluteus
salicinus                       

Pluteus salicinus
, has a blue, bruising reaction from being rubbed or mashed.  It contains psilocybin and psilocin. The
presence of a bluing reaction in mushrooms indicates the chance of the Mushroom
containing said compounds.  Some Boletes
produce compounds like boletol.  Boletol
also will produce a bluing reaction, but has no psilocybin or psilocin.  Footage of this boletol reaction are shown in
FMRC's production "FRUIT  OF  THE 
GODS" DVD. The darkening reaction on the stems of some deadly
Galerinas can be mistaken for a bluing reaction, just as the green gills of Lepiota morganii are mistaken to be a
blue-tone.  Always be certain of what
mushroom you have, if you are going to eat it. 
Use as many identification points you can.

             To Wear Gloves or Not To Wear Gloves

                                    When Handling
Deadly Mushrooms, and

                                            
Beware of breathing their dust

A post made at edot by S.L. Peele                                   

I have worked with all kinds of mushrooms.....I made these
laws to myself, that I never break when dealing with mushrooms that produce
"Deadly Toxins."  Many times,
while working in the lab, I used DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide).  This compound has the unique property of
quickly going right through your skin and into your system.  Sort of instantly putting the taste of garlic
in your mouth.  The thing is, it also has
the ability to pick up other compounds and bring them right along.  It was for this reason, I many times wore
gloves, and was always careful about washing my hands.  Never new what I might pick up next with
hands.  It is here I became aware of
something very important.  I never paid
attention to cuts or wounds on my hands, until the day DMSO hit a small
scratch.  This made me realize just how
easy an opened place in your skin really allows entry of outside elements.  Maybe handling Deadly Mushrooms with no gloves,
is okay.  I did it many times in my early
days.  I still will even today.  But, I am always careful to look my hands
over good for any scratches or cuts.  I
would not think that I could die even from having a scratch, but even a small
amount of this type of toxin could bring about an allergic reaction.  And, the degree of this could surely vary
among different individuals.

If your hands look okay, there should not be any problems
with handling deadly

mushrooms.  I would
still wash my hands afterward.  If the
skin of your hands is broken anywhere, I would use gloves, or something else to
handle the mushroom.

More Important.........something that I did not see
mentioned here.  If you dry any Deadly
Mushrooms, be aware of this.  Depending
on what stage, there may be dust created by these mushrooms.  Never inhale any of this dust.  Work outside and wear a mask if you do not
have a hood to work under. 

...........and yes, there are some of the world's leading
mushroom experts here.  I mean real
experts.  Too bad GZ didn't know
this.  Perhaps just changing a few words
would have made all the difference.........like, after making all of the
statements, "what are any thoughts on these?"  And not to have made them look like
facts.  In any case, stick around GZ and
you will learn the real facts.  First one
you should learn today..........never inhale the dust from dried Amanita phalloides.......slp/fmrc

PS - Speaking of the "rah-rah's", did anyone notice that,
"scientifically", the 2008 flu shot was only 2/3 right, but the 2009
flu shot was only 1/3 worth anything? I don't want to over criticize, because
my only CDC friend mocked me for being in the ministry still while he gets
"Home, car, family and money to do the things he likes" - and he was
right and I cried - but all my pediatric patients remain alive (unlike theirs)
and my "easy kill" patients are too and a bunch of theirs aren't.
It's apples and oranges and I understand that also I suppose. Curious though
that even with a lousier "shot" we have currently less National
sickness and death than last year - but it isn't over yet so who can say? The
rah-rahs and the priests? "But upon this we can agree - things aren't what
they used to be."

                                          
Tassili Pediocracy:

                             “Cave Kids Rule!”

This article is necessarily a part
of the “Tassili Medicine” series though this is all I’ve got about psilocybes
and the pre-teen population; “Of course not! Are ya damaged?!” Even if I
thought psilocybes were a last chance saloon to save the life of a child I
believe I’d use “de-magifying” concomitants and even consider inducing
drowsiness/light sleep for the duration. But that is why this article is
necessarily part of the Tassili series because without cave children, there’d
be no boneheads today. Fortunately I have never even had to consider such a
situation, and though I won’t rule it out there are several steps to rule out
along the way before we begin to entertain ideas that are such choices of
“lesser evils”.

I am pretty sure there are still plenty of “Mushroom
Experts” spouting years of superstition, old wives and their spook tales about
children and mushrooms. None of these opinions seems to be offered by a
physician and they have absolutely no real foundation in practical medical fact
or biological chemistry. A situation where the speculation of someone wholly
unqualified to even guess is taken (has been taken) as scientific and medical
fact. Add to this that all the superstitions seem to be a simple situation of
“paranoid parroting” – repeating what one has heard because it sounded
authoritative and low risk. “nefrandi non grata” (nefrandi means that place
where the sun don’t shine?)

We just had another “That baby was sick!” situation and so I
thought I’d finally get around to inviting some of these people to spend their
time demonstrating these things or perhaps just shut up, because mushrooms have
done more than keep our pediatric patients alive or get them out of the flu
quicker. A couple of examples in fact?

“Lakota Mushroom Eater – It’s just food…” First use age: 2.5
yrs

I first met Lakota fleeing the threat of seizure and
enforced savagery. He had been playing around the house and fallen, his poor
little hand finding the wood stove at that time of year when they are never
cool. Taken to such a “big deal” hospital in Springfield (none the less!) it was the
opinion of someone who makes a lot of money operating on children that Lakota
just had to have a thigh-to-hand skin graft. Lakota’s parents didn’t like that
idea and so they were informed that the hospital would just seize their child
and surgically savage their baby anyway – legally. So, being just dumb
hillbillies they left

and came back home with little more than a almost horror
story to tell. If you looked at his hand now, you would not believe his story
because you cannot tell that anything ever but angel kisses happened to that
hand, it has no blemish or scar. God and this kid both impressed me there in
fact. But his mushroom eating began more like this – everyone else in the
family was getting well while he was still suffering flu, his dad held a
capsule in his hand mentally saying “It’s just food. It’s just food.” and
Lakota has been a mushroom and wild food beneficiary ever since because he of
course did get rapidly better, and connects these foods to not being sick. I
mean no one has to tell him or hold his nose, he will come looking for it and
tell you. He has seen two ways of having illness and chosen one he likes
better. It’s such a blessing when they are adamant about something good.

“Charlie Breathes” (and plays football) First use Age: 6 yrs

Charlie was in and out of the other doctor’s office like a
revolving door and had inhalers kept everywhere he went. His blessing was a
mother who didn’t like that, she just didn’t know there was anything else to do.
Now Charlie only really eats mushrooms when he is sick because the few weeks he
ate them for his allergy and breathing problems apparently gave his body just
enough adaptability opportunity that he outgrew the allergies that were the
basis of his breathing problems. The boy who could hardly run and play jumps on
the trampoline and plays football at school – one little thing in the way of
everything else about him, but not anymore. Because I told his mom “No, drop
those damned inhalers” and she found out in the case of her son that was
exactly right.

Now, “Hunter 10 months”

I didn’t get to pick for Hunter, somebody else did. Somehow
after years of seeing it with their eyes and holding it in their hands some
people don’t feel they need to call us every time for everything. When the
secular MD said “Oh it will have to run it’s course.” In seasons where
pneumonia and flu related deaths are a risk in children, that kid’s friends
said “No, I don’t think so” and since Susan had a bag of mushrooms with her, the
only thing I was for was telling all about it and yet again, how great God’s
things are when we appreciate them and handle them correctly. Child mortality
exceeded national levels last flu season and so far there have been 4 direct
deaths this year so I think they felt that “other guy” was a little callous
about it. There are other cases and applications as well as a few rules, like
the Simmons kids, sickle cell and leukemia but I’m just turning the light on
here. (see below)

I must confess it does delight me – that they gain knowledge
and confidence, that they can act “bravely” in love for each other and in that
also do it well. We have had some effect on at least some of our people that
God might approve of. (Heathens still won’t go to college though…heathens)

So the next time some misguided ghoul or profiteering
pedi-monster stands up and starts spouting about the “cheeldren!” you at least
can sit back and say “Well, not mine.” Because if they don’t have the condition
or illness that renders them meat for morons then they are better off on two
counts, and the ever belching ocean of “Dr. Spocks” see

their waves “smashed to spumed and shattered graves” against
the rocks of simple dietary defense. Because you have to protect your kid from
some doctors these days it seems, lucrative and plentiful little ‘taters that
they are. Personally, I’ve never offered any of them knife or needle. I as
loathe to be invasive with them as they are to be rudely invaded upon and they
like that I have found better ways to avoid it. That’s quality in medicine and
health, not running your child through a chicken pot pie machine in the ugly
effort to imitate and sell it, indeed force it, under threat of “child
welfare”. (Barbarous!) I love their little kingdom, their blessed society -
where doctors have to be polite and good too.

So you see, being a stupid tit on purpose has no rewards
when it comes to parenting or protecting your little companion; acting like one
so others will know “You are OK TOO!” can have a grim price. It’s no Tassili
world out there anymore, so one has to be even more careful. (Indeed, I’m sure
the real Tassili N’Ajer is much more dangerous now than when it was just wild
carnivores and cave people...) One has to have a little impetus and fortitude
to search these things out and remember that the motto in America has always been “Buyer
Beware”, though that was said over two hundred years ago so how wary now? Also
note how the desire for a second opinion in our country has been conveniently
twisted to “Negligence!” – owing to all the financial beneficiaries.

The !child illness! and cancer center around here is called
“Momma’s kitchen” and thank God for little things - and that they do so well
when you feed them. Indeed, children seem to respond 2 or 3 times better to
accurate biological medicine. They are so fresh and resilient – so naturally
inclined. I’m blessed with parents who don’t expect me to do dreadful things to
their kid so that they can feel better. So are the kids.

Now Charlie can throw the football, Lakota can tie a string
to it and use it for some treehouse contraption, Hunter 10 months can behold it
all and dream and I can put my feet back up and think “Well, at least that’s
still right in the world.”

Best Wishes Always!

Addendum / Children &
Mushrooms

With regard to single use and combinations of Reishi
(Ganoderma lucidum,Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis), Turkey tail (Coreolus versicolor),
Maitake (Grifola frondosa), Shittake (Lentenula edodes) and Cracked cap (Philenus
rimosus)

Children typically respond
very well to amounts that would be less adequate, pound for pound, in the
adult. Concomitants are recommended to optimize therapeutic benefit and
decrease any potential side effects. They aren’t necessary though and only
about 50% of my peds use them with any regularity. The easiest for them? 1/3
doses of “Essiac” or any detox tea that has “kid herbs” and lacks adult ones –
check health food store.

Vitamin C – Potentiating!

Incidences of epistaxis
(nosebleed) from excessive vitamin c, a harmless but slightly alarming side
effect

                            
#28 TEO May 2009  Page

avoided by decreasing the
usual Vit C dose by half. Again – incidence of nosebleed or slight blood in
urine are NOT a big deal and immediately resolve on removing Vit. C completely.

I never really considered
extra vitamin C necessary but I have used it when they were really “worn out”
with being sick and dehydrating – your call, but use caution and don’t panic.

Regarding therapy for sickle
cell crisis prevention

This benefit will endure
some, so if you are just preventing sickle cell misery one dose every other day
should do fine. In fact, though I think a combination is better, “reishi” alone
should provide this benefit adequately. If you want to add one to that, add
cordyceps.

Prothrombin time – anyone
eating reishi, wood ears and some of the other mushrooms will have increased
clot time; again, don’t panic. The increase in prothrombin time (blood
clotting) is not that significant EXCEPT in the already hemopheliac patient.
Mushrooms though do not make the hemophelia worse, regular precautions with
these folks still apply and they are used to them. They would laugh at your
clotting concerns!

Human Children / 3-6 years                6-10 yrs                                                  11-15yrs

½ capsule or 10 drops up to 40lbs    1 capsule or 2cc (ml) up to 90lbs       2 capsules or 3cc(ml) up to 140lbs

Remember, it’s mostly by weight and
severity of condition. Allergy relief doesn’t take as much as Anthrax!

                            Tassili
Authenticity:

           “God Did It Best; Gave It for Free
to All Who Seek”

It’s not an unusual string of
events that has led, over the decades, from a rural healers sacred shanty to
the halls of the American Government. The pharmaceutical business is about
finding out these things and exploiting them in any way possible. It does
though seem unusual with this particular species and secondarily now even all
neurotropically active plants and substances organic or synthetic. All plants,
as gifts of God for the comfort, healing and joy of man don’t get this regard
or attention, right up there with the “flowers of the field” (opium). Everyone
can be curious about entheogens and some may have them but what is happening
now and has been really is quite bizarre. This handful of people wanting total
control and the power to create the reality around them.

Now, I am old enough to be
used to rah-rah’s, rotters, the weak minded and their handlers but it never
ceases to amaze me what goes on with Maria Sabina’s gift to Gordon Wasson and
the current round of mostly clowns primarily involved in pigeonholing and
profiteering it. Indeed, it’s as if greed and power tripping without tripping
has hollowed out and obsessed not only some of our former “Counter Culture High
Holies” but some of our intellectuals and vested protectors also. If it were
“right” and “true” then how come those before left it where it was – in nature
and those who were blessed to receive it commonly. I don’t know any Park
Rangers who don’t know about mushrooms and I always thought that they, being so
close to and having a regard for nature were probably experienced too; an
ancient and respected simple human right.

I know there are lots of
“baby brain, baby crib” people out there who don’t even think or have ethics or
values of their own at all, you just put a pretty hypnotic tune on and they
start swaying back and forth holding hands even if the words are “You’re a fool,
worship me, pay me from your fam-i-ly” (“with a butt-crack-smell-attack-run
your baby home…”)   Are the “Merry
Pranksters” now the “Shi**y Gangsters” too or have they managed to hold their
own in the face of this “Mass

Delusion” that comes at a
time when so much of our society has been “flourided” – as it were –

down to the level of a dimwit
in purple dinosaur clothes? (“Barney”. You can keep that “b-o-l-o-g-n-a” away
from our kids. They aren’t kept for such…Teledummies.) The Founding Fathers
warned of such things, yet go almost entirely unheeded.

But when it comes to this
psilocybe thing with the “Pirates of the Oblivion” I seem to be very much outnumbered.
C’est la vie? No. C’est la Poo and little else. Since I’m not getting paid to
be a goofy stain, I retain something of what was once myself. Something of the
“Boy who lived” left in me. But you know, I’m bored with the caricature of it
and I was and belong on higher ground even if in the lowest seat. I am but a
child among the truly human and free (or potent) that remain and even kind of
an ugly step-one at that. The high souls though are kind and long suffering and
I did pass the “Brain connected to spine and walnuts” test after all (Even the
Owl will give ya that).

But I’ve ranted enough with
little profit to thee. By now you are saying “Yes doc, you are always the last
to see the blue & grey going brown” (yawn) or “What are you talking about!
It’s, it’s “John’s Hopkins”
for God’s sake you burnable heretic!” (the utterly stupid…but they could think
if they would) But I close this part in attestation that it is neither I nor
God nor Temple who
is the deceiver or heretic and there is no more to say.

No, this article is about
psilocybe medicine not psilocybe sickness and therefore let poor brother carry
on. I do have a Tassili Tee-Hee warning to give but those who would hear it
already know and those who don’t probably never will. (Always a “Starry Starry
Night” hon…) So I guess let’s have some fun and play “Kreskin!” again and you
can count up the chips (and cow chips) later and think for yourself. The
Magisterium did after all dutifully inform me long ago that “I would reveal
that which was not known” but also that “I was not written for approval” – at
the time I thought they meant temple treasure and history, joy, the rightness
of life and “good man things”. OK then I’ll try after this vein of things!
Please find below a list of conditions which psilocybes and their concomitants
address in varying degree and most rather handsomely so that when the dimwits
and rah-rah’s finally exhaust “Good Friday & Psychological!” (what Yack!)
and honk another p$ilocybe horn you will be able to see these things better and
judge for yourself. Also, innocent people and fading patients don’t have to
wait another decade or more for the right financial or politically correct
opportunity – for their medical condition, “cognitive liberty” or evolution.
Evolution like terminal disease does not wait at all and has no mind to what it
mows down in it’s way. It has no political correctness nor recognizes such.

So here is old news from people’s
history, faith, tradition and homework and some of them US, just not many
anymore:

* indicates “with concomitants” and/or much more to
say before just diving in – so you ugly little Tassili thieves don’t hurt more
people in your “discoverie$!”, “experimentation$” or “re$earch”. Nota bene –
this list is not at all exhaustive, just demonstrative, and there’s always more
to know.

*Alzheimer’s – and a big
whoa! On that ignorantly or alone but still

*Anaphylaxis, chronic -
transient, limited (that means some allergies, sometimes permanent)

*Arthritis – osteo &
rheumatoid + + +!

*Ascariasis – that means
worms, they don’t like it

Audial deficiency, limited
(there ya go Paul, yes it’s true just not in all conditions – also often of
limited duration – but worth the duration yes?)

*Autoimmune diseases – Here
psilocybes are the “concomitant” but also a critical element in some 

Bacterioenteritis (heh – the
near future here… “Ola!” heh.   btw – am a breed, can say that, so save it)

Bacterium dentrificans
(causes of dental abscess and deterioration)

*Bronchitis, varying
etiology, limited

Bursitis

*Burns                  #28 TEO May 2009  Page 13   Copyrighted Material

*Cancer – not psychological
(Poo!) MED-I-CAL (another easy $moke $creen of murder… “get ‘em high and let
‘em….” see? They pay for this skullduggery too as double victims.)

*Cardiac insufficiency/irregularity,
varying etiologies and symptoms

*Degenerative disk disease

Drug addiction – subjective,
limited (Beware of all uses involving “Can’t ya see it? Don’t ya believe it?”
the Groff people stand on a pile of sand….always did)

*Endocrine
disorders generally – and typically + +                                      

*“Farmers lung” – various
types and mixed results depending on type from “great” to “helpful”

*Gonorrhea (God’s pity I
guess for the poor “make sex sexier with drugs” bums)

*HIV/AIDS – again, not as a
psychological (ridiculous) but as an antiviral and endocrine of course

*Hyper and hypoadrenalism
such as “Cushing’s Syndrome” and such – No one knows the limits here I’m
afraid, just benefits and those mixed/varied owing to broad range of the
manifestations and etiologies

Infections generally

*Intracellular accumulations
– limited

*Jaundice – care in dosing
and progressive resolution or you’ll just blow it with them, maybe literally

*Leukemia – although “just
another”, a good and fun one indeed where applicable

*Lymphodema – traumatic and
otherwise – in traumatic we nurse them down some first with others

*Melanoma – though another
type of cancer already listed, melanoma is nasty and pernicious

*May be a cure for the
intentional information manipulating and censoring of MAPS, Erowid and other
such by exposure (I think it’s called
grandiosis ani effulges? “Kissing up to an ass that’s got your number already?”
MAPS is Craps for the $uckers, uneducated and weak minded. Years behind and
nothing secret about that. The “Barney” of neurotropics. Erowid the “Eddie
Haskel”…)

*Methicillin resistant staph
infections, entero and otherwise

*Most of the current
“!Biowarfare!” top ten – so what of ‘em? That seems to be failing pitiful
anyway like Levaquin.

*Mycobacteriosis

*Necrotizing fasciitis –
Yagh! Flesh eaters! Eeek!

*Neuritis

*Neuropathy

*Ocular surgery and trauma,
limited

*Obsessive Compulsive,
limited and all that actually does go to **Moreno, really

*Organicity, cerebreo – limited
and potentially dangerous i.e. not too practical in most cases

*Premature aging, limited (?
On for sure with “little old man” in the extreme, but very worth doing though
so rare owing to benefits in like cases of less complexity)

*Protein diseases (heh-heh,
though I know the regular reader won’t get my gaff…you folder in their home)

*Retinitis – a painful and
messy condition of the eye +!

*Schizoform disorders,
limited, long term effectiveness limited usually – high $moke $creen potential
there

*Some few neurotic and
psychological disorders but well below the $hype$ - that’s all mostly to sucker
some people out of their big money because it’s all they can “relate” to.

*Tuberculosis

*Urinary tract and bladder
infections – but a lot to do for a simple condition

*Viral hepatitis and hepatic disorders generally

*Warthin’s – salivary gland
tumors most yuckish

*Wound Healing - +!

I know that’s not much of a
list, but I’m just dashing this off out of my head to demonstrate my points. Now,
at least for awhile with your notebooks fuller and your cogs turning I can be a
“Tassili Retiree” because I have better things to do and walking Miss Daisy is
one of them. She has gone blind during the course of these articles, and I want
to spend more time with her now. I don’t have the money for a specialist and
her vet said “It is beyond me Karl.” So clearly, I have higher priorities at
home. We’ll find our way.

Just
wanted to point out an error in your recent issue of Teo.  You mis-spelled the name of the Gymnopilus in
two places. In the photograph and in the text. The species is Gymnopilus
aeruginosus, not Gymnopilus aervginous. 
(Corrections were made on Master. Thanx, slp/fmrc)



Also, That person who had a small shroom farm in Tiel is not the same as Fresh
Mushrooms. In fact this person was so paranoid that I tried to arrange to meet
him when I was there at Procare last spring and three shops which sold his
mushrooms in their stores told me he did not want to meet anyone he did not
know. Form talking to the sales clerks who purchased mushrooms form him, they
told me he did not like strange foreigners asking about his business.

Even friends at Pro-care and at Fresh Mushrooms of Tiel, the largest producer
of shrooms did not know who this person was. Fresh produces 20,000 kilos a
week. And they only have about 9 workers. So This person McSmart is
exaggerating the situation.



I have photos of McSmarts shroom products form the smart shops I visited and
photographed. I think he was into selling dried shrooms under the counter so to
speak or some other illegal drug activity, maybe x since he did not want to
meet anyone.

Eventually I will add his products to my7 Mushrooms of Nederlands pages at my
site.    John

The department's Special Investigation's Unit teamed up with
the Mahoning Valley and

Columbiana Drug Task Forces, as well as the Adult Parole
Authority to arrest 40-year-old Scott A. Burden of Louisville on a charge of aggravated
trafficking.

Police say Burden allegedly tried to sell about a half a pound of psilocybin
mushrooms to a woman.

This is the largest amount of psilocybin mushrooms the Alliance Police Dept has
ever seized.

Burden was charged with aggravated drug trafficking. He was taken to the Stark
County Jail, where he is being held on $50,000 bond.  ……

Wisconsin Couple Commit Suicide After Pot and “Shroom” Bust,

                                               Forfeiture

http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/258/theschillings.shtml

The funeral for a Waukesha couple who
committed suicide last month turned into a cry for marijuana law reform last
week as the adult children of Dennis and Denise Schilling charged the
government with hounding them to their deaths. Facing lengthy prison sentences
and the loss of their home, the couple hung themselves in a Madison motel on September 25. At the
funeral, four of five Schilling children wore shirts bearing messages such as,
"DARE to Know the Truth About Marijuana," and told the Milwaukee
Journal their parents were martyrs to the cause of legalizing marijuana,
especially for medicinal purposes. The Schillings were arrested earlier this year after a
snitch told the Waukesha Metro Drug Enforcement Unit they had a grow-op in
their home. An undercover policeman and another snitch bought a total of $120
worth of marijuana from the couple, after which police raided the home, finding
21 plants, 12 grams of pot and "drug paraphernalia." On June 27, the
Schillings and their son Joshua were charged with maintaining a drug house,
manufacturing marijuana and mushrooms, and possession with intent to deliver
marijuana and mushrooms. All
three faced possible years in prison, but that wasn't enough for the drug
warriors. On September 20, US Marshals hand-delivered a notice of forfeiture
action against the couple's home. Although no one has explained why federal
authorities were involved in seeking seizure of a home in a small-time
state-prosecuted case, US Attorney Steven Biskupic, whose office filed the forfeiture
motion, called the Schillings' set-up "a substantial grow operation."
In a suicide note left at the
scene, Denise Schilling offered a different explanation, citing her efforts to
overcome a lifetime of disease. "I had tried every politically correct
route, from religion to psychotropic drugs, and none of them helped me in any
way," she wrote. "Perhaps someday people like me will not be
persecuted. Perhaps someday it will not be a crime to take care of your
health."   Another of the couples' children,
Caleb Schilling, pointed an accusing finger at the legal system. "We're
being screwed by these people," he said…….Brought to my attention by Mr.
John Allen.
