The Amanita Muscaria In My Daily Life
The lastest incidence of the little red mushroom in my life is in the novel: "The Mammoth Hunters" by Jean Auel. I am up to the part where they are on the trek to the mammoth herd, and the shaman-leader of the Mammoth Camp is tying the mushrooms in the trees to dry to collect on their way back to the Summer Meeting. He will use them for powerful medicine.
