Reviews

“Part chemistry primer, part cookbook, part testimonial, with a hefty spoonful of love for both Amanita muscaria and humankind. Baba Masha has gifted us with a highly readable and informative account of the mushroom’s healing benefits--the misinformation ends where this book begins! It is time for this glorious mushroom, and those who have been working with Her in secret, to come out of the closet and reclaim one of humanity’s oldest and most versatile medicines.”
