The new book by the well-known mycologist and popularizer Mikhail Vishnevsky is dedicated to one of our most famous mushrooms - the red fly agaric. This mushroom has left its mark in myths and legends, in ancient, medieval, and modern history, in medicine, and in culinary arts. The publication provides various information: scientific and popular, useful for mushroom pickers and simply fascinating. The historical ("shamanic mushroom") and modern uses of the red fly agaric are examined, as well as its relationship with the law, the application of the fly agaric as a medicinal mushroom, and its chemical and pharmacological aspects. At the end of the book, the intriguing question of the co-evolution of hosts and parasites is raised, and a hypothesis about human control over a whole range of living organisms is put forward. The book is intended for the widest possible readership.
