“…In medicinal texts, the xiaojun (笑菌; xiàojùn; hsiao-ch'un "laughing mushroom") was known to Chinese herbalists for centuries before modern botanists identified it as a type of psilocybin mushroom, most likely either Gymnopilus junonius (Laughing Gym) or Panaeolus papilionaceus (Petticoat Mottlegill) (Li et al, 1978). In Japan, both medieval and modern sources record "laughing mushrooms" (Sanford, 1972).…”

This annotated bibliography comprises 49 texts concerning psilocybin mushroom practices developed by Indigenous peoples. The books and articles have been selected for their academic rigor, relevance, and historical significance, and to foreground overlooked research and subject matter. This includes research on a plurality of contemporary practices and evidence of historical uses, from cultural traditions in Mexico and other regions of the world. The curated texts are sourced from various disciplines, including anthropology, history, archaeology, ethnolinguistics, and ethnomycology. Employing diverse methodological and analytical frameworks, the texts explore the diversity of ways Indigenous cultures have related with, utilized, and conceptualized psilocybin mushrooms and the effects occasioned by their consumption. The annotations include brief summaries of the texts, contextualization of the research, and more critical appraisals. The aim of this annotated bibliography is to offer the reader a diverse overview of the research to date and provide an accessible resource for further exploration of historical and contemporary Indigenous psilocybin practices. The team of psychedelic researchers behind this annotated bibliography hope it will contribute to more nuanced dialogue around Indigenous people and practices in the context of the so-called psychedelic renaissance.

“…These incidents were reported by people foraging for wild edible mushrooms (Wasson 1973;Sanford 1972). In addition, anumber of unintentional intoxications occurred in Africa during the 1940s when mind-altering mushrooms (possibly Psilocybe cubensis) were inadvertently sold as a source of food by children in public markets (Vedcourt & Trump 1969;Charters 1957;Cullinan & Henry 1945).…”
