Since ancient times, mushrooms have been perceived by people as a mystical-sexual object; they have influenced cosmogony, myth-making and religions of most major civilizations. But the sacred is sacred; in everyday life, humanity used mushrooms as aphrodisiacs, modifiers of the perception of sex, and even as dildos.
On the pages of the book, the author fascinatingly tells about the distant erotic mushroom past of mankind and about our sexual psychedelic mushroom modernity, analyzes myths, beliefs and traditions associated with mushrooms and their special symbolism. Much attention is paid to entheogenic mushrooms, which can be used as aphrodisiacs. A separate chapter is devoted to psychedelic fungi — parasites of cicadas, on the example of which, thanks to the latest research, it is shown how the sexual life of fungi could change the entire history of the human race …
For the widest range of readers, as well as for ethnographers, cultural scientists, religious scholars, historians and ethnomycologists.
