Description: American ethnomycologist and historian John W. Allen has compiled a unique scholarly publication and overview documenting a compendium of the many endearing Náhuatl mushroom names of the Ancient Aztecs and those names currently used today by their ancestors, the Mazatec, Mazatepec, Zapotec, Mixe, Chatino, Chinantec, and Matlanzinca. Today, those Aztec mushroom names are spoken by six tribal groups in both the Náhuatl and Spanish languages. This is truly an important collection created from the archives of the Spanish historians, friars, and monks that recorded the history of Nueva España, of which today, less than 60 documents remain from the time of the Conquest through the mid-1800s. This also includes several contemporary studies by the late Mexican mycologist, Gastón Guzmán (1997). History has just begin to capture and record the essence of the importance of these mushrooms, both in the search for their possible medicinal uses and this ethnomycological document can also be useful and of importance for future research in a scientific discipline — the ethnomycology of psychoactive mushrooms which still has a lot to discover, reveal, and to surprise those who wish to study the many beneficial gifts which the mushrooms can offer for us all Also, the author has compiled several local and traditional names for magic mushrooms from other regions around the globe.” Giorgio Samorini.
