Description
Brian Blomerth's Mycelium Wassonii is a visually striking account of the lives and journeys of R. Gordon and Valentina Wasson, pioneering scientist couple who popularized the use of psychedelic mushrooms in the United States. Blomerth's unique blend of irreverent underground comix style and meticulously researched history brings to life the Wassons' globetrotting adventures, from Russian folk wisdom to midcentury Manhattan, and from indigenous traditions in Mexico to ancient Roman mysteries. With appearances by notable figures such as J.P. Morgan and Robert Graves, this book is a fascinating exploration of science, mysticism, and the intersection of culture. Through Blomerth's distinctive Isograph pen style, Mycelium Wassonii becomes both a visual biography and a tragic love story, offering a captivating glimpse into the world of psychedelic research and its impact on society.
