Terrence McKenna (RIP) was the Jorge Cervantes of the Ethnobotany World.

Terence Kemp McKenna (November 16, 1946 – April 3, 2000) was an American esoteric philosopher, psychonaut, ethnobotanist, lecturer, and author. He spoke and wrote about a variety of subjects, including psychedelic drugs, plant-based entheogens, shamanism, metaphysics, alchemy, language, culture, technology, and the theoretical origins of human consciousness. He was called the "Timothy Leary of the 90s",[1][2] "one of the leading authorities on the ontological foundations of shamanism",[3] and the "intellectual voice of Rave culture".[4]

As far as non trippy wild mushies go, you can't go wrong with ink caps. Easy to identify and safe to eat as long as you don't drink alcohol (something in the shrooms mixes with alcohol and makes you sick) for a few days before and after the inkies. Shaggy ink caps are safe with alcohol. You can't really mix ink caps up with anything dangerous. Wikipedia say it gets confused with the Magpie fungus, but you'd have to be a complete idiot to mix them up. You need to pick em young or they'll be full of larvae. You can still eat infested ones, just put them in water to force the larvae out. Once they start to sporulate, they're pretty shitty because the spores are emitted in liquid (the "Ink") and the fruit body starts to dissolve. We get bloody loads of inkies around here, nobody picks em but me because they're all piss-heads.

I became quite a fan of Terrence McKenna back in 1980 when I came across several cassette tapes of his talks. IF I can find them in the heap of my archives I will make them available to anyone interested.
I recall reading an interview with his brother from a couple of years back. Dennis McKenna mentioned that during a raft trip down the Amazon Terrence began a diatribe about the Mayan Calender and on the spot defined the 2012 end of the world myth. In '83 JOSÉ ARGÜELLES used much of McKenna's ideas to formulate the myth into a book published in '89. McKenna went on to elaborate on the myth in '92 in one of his own books.
So we can place the creation of the end of the world and universe on those two guys.
Just a side note.
I think Dennis McKenna covers some of this in "The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss". A good read.

I found Terrence's explorations into pschedelics inspiring and bought his book - Magic Mushroom Growers Guide back in '79, maybe.
Mushrooms were plentiful back then and as long as you knew what you were getting into the experience could be blissful.
My friends and I would slice up fresh blue streaks, as we called them back in the day, and put them on sandwichs. A good way to cloak the somewhat repellent taste.
I spent an entire college semester on shrooms listening to Alan Watts and apparently doing quite well in my classes. I was much more interested in the water lion that rose out of my window sill and taught me how to type.
I've never taken a typing class but I am pretty fast and accurate so I can only surmise the Lion knew his stuff.

In the non-psychedelic world, but just as therapeutic and medicinal I favor the Shitaki.
Brushed, raw, gently sliced with apologies.

1982 and coke is king, I head over to a local mobsters house to score some for me & some friends that showed up from out of town. Nicky is a high school friend of mine but was very well connected in the Bronx, drugs, after hours joints and whatever else. we do the deal and then Nicky says "here check this out."

He pulls a bandana out of his jacket pocket, he opens it up and there's a nickel plated snub nose .38 in it, I notice that Nicky hasn't touched the gun yet and he offers it to me to take it & have a look, "No thanks Nicky, nice try" I tell him with a sneer, he looks at my expression and let's out a nervous laugh when he realizes that I caught him trying to get my prints on a gun.

Salvia divinorum-divining sage

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_divinorum

it is similar to a magic mushroom trip but only last about 15 to 20 minutes.
if you are interested in the divining aspect of the plant, then you focus on a theme before doing a vape or big bong hit of the sage.
if that is not your goal, then just sit back and enjoy the ride.

my salvia trip has *always* been about returning to earth, so i can put the pipe down, and not burn a hole in my shirt.
