Yes, thank you all for participating, but especially Don, for writing a wonderful book, and Steve, for skillfully helping to shape and guide the conversation. This was an extraordinarily interesting and enjoyable discussion. This week Inkwell's attention moves on to a new discussion, but this topic will remain open indefinitely for anyone who wants to continue the conversation. [Read entire topic]

Amanita muscaria are not, however, allegedly a fun trip. Just sayin'.

Thank you Don and everyone who participated in this discussion (including you, silent readers from the future). It's been wonderful. If you haven't read Don's book yet, please do, and I'm also looking forward to Peter Conners' upcoming book on Leary and Ginsberg.

Thanks also to the WELL, <gail>, and Julie for hosting such a great forum. If you like what you've seen here, you might consider joining the WELL. It's a great place. [Read entire topic]

When I was in Iceland I saw plenty of pictures of the red mushroom with white spots, and was told it was what the Vikings used to go berserk before they went into battle.

Incidentally, the Kodak page on Facebook recently posted a picture of those mushrooms.

There's plenty of them in kids' books, too. [Read entire topic]

One of the symbols of good luck in Germany (along with the four-leaf clover and the pig) is the "Gl*ckspilz," a mushroom with a red cap with white spots. Looked familiar. [Read entire topic]

There are numerous folk songs and stories from rural Germany and Scandinavia about "mushrooms" as well. [Read entire topic]
