HAVE A GOOD TRIP: Exploring the Magic Mushroom Experience

By Eugenia Bone

Flatiron Books – Macmillan Publishing
October 2024 – AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER
320 Pages – ISBN 978-1-250-88565-4

Have a Good Trip describes all the ways we use Psilocybe mushrooms today, from collection to preparation, from harms to trip types, and the self-organized groups whose experiments are leading the science. It covers mycology and
neuroscience, but in great part this book synthesizes the vast trove of anecdotal experiences that constitutes most of what we know about the “magic” in these mushrooms. Have a Good Trip is not a guide, but it does address all the questions the mushroom curious might have.

Fantastic Fungi: Community Cookbook

Edited by Eugenia Bone; recipes by the Fantastic Fungi community.

Insight Editions, December 7, 2021
(hardcover, 264 pages) 978-1647222956

Featuring 100 mushroom-centric recipes written by the people who know mushroom cooking best: mushroom lovers! These are the kinds of recipes you will cook for dinner: simple, family-friendly recipes representing ethnicities from all over the world.

The story behind the making of this book is the story of a community. Mycophiles from all over the USA and beyond shared their mushrooms recipes on the Fantastic Fungi movie website. Eugenia worked with 50 plus of those authors to develop their recipes for publication, and in the process, new connections and friendships were made. It’s what Louie, the director of the film calls the “Mycelial connection.” The resulting cookbook is an accurate portrayal of a community with one thing in common: mushrooms!

The cookbook also features five thoughtful and engaging essays written by Eugenia that explore a wide range of topics, including mushroom cooking, mushroom cultivation, mushroom foraging, mushroom nutrition, and the impacts fungi have on agriculture. A range of experts can be found in these pages, from chefs like Alan Bergo (Foragerchef.com) to journalists like Langdon Cook (The Mushroom Hunters), mycologists like Dr. Tom Volk, and charismatic scientist/entrepreneurs like Tradd Cotter. With beautiful full-color photography by noted food photographer Evan Sung, this cookbook will expand your appreciation of mushrooms, their different tastes, and their many, many applications, from flavoring drinks to replacing meat.
