Books by David Connell

Psilocybin and humanity have a rich, ancient, and deeply connected relationship. Wherever man goes, psilocybin containing mushrooms follow—or perhaps it’s the other way around. We can trace this co-evolutionary bond from the earliest prehistoric cave paintings to modern studies that explore psilocybin’s potential as a treatment for depression, addiction, and more. My personal experiences with psilocybin, during my post-military battles with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), engendered a deep respect and driving curiosity to explore and share what knowledge I can about this amazing fungal ally of humanity. This desire to explore an ancient relationship—how we found it, how we lost it, and most importantly how we can regain it—were the driving factors in the creation of this book. As all mushroom fans know, eating little fun-guys can be a trying experience. As much as we love and appreciate them, few enjoy the sensation of chewing on dried out, fibrous fungi stalks. This fun, psychedelic cookbook explains how to embark on your journey with food and fungi with small, measured quantities of shrooms into your food and drink. 

Regular as clockwork, authoritative, informative, and invariably laced with humour, David Connell has written articles on nature for the Fittleworth and Stopham Village magazine for many years. The articles included here represent the best of the past seven years' contributions and are fascinating reading for anyone who loves nature - whether they live in Fittleworth or not.
