A new book by the famous mycologist-popularizer Mikhail Vishnevsky is dedicated to one of our most famous mushrooms — the red fly agaric. This mushroom has been “noted” in myths and legends, in ancient, medieval and modern history, in medicine, cooking.
The publication provides a variety of information: scientific and popular, useful for mushroom pickers and simply fascinating. The historical (“shamanic mushroom”) and modern use of red fly agaric, its relationship with the law, the use of fly agaric as a medicinal mushroom, chemical and pharmacological aspects are considered.
At the end of the book, an interesting question is raised about the joint evolution of hosts and parasites and a hypothesis is put forward about human control of a number of living organisms.
The book is intended for the widest range of readers.
