Recently a friend of mine kindly lent me a copy of Brian Blomerths' Mycelium Wassonii: Norma Tenega. Beautifully illustrated in Blomerths' 60's 70's underground comic stylee it enjoys an engaging quaintness and tells the psychedelic adventures of pioneering mycologists R. Gordon and Valentina Wasson and their expeditions to discover rare psychedelic mushrooms, indigenous mushroom rituals and exploring their effects. It's a really lovely story, sad, but definitely lovely. A recommended read for both comic and mushroom lover alike.
