The Canonical List of Underground Catalogs -
|
|
|
|
Since the time of the last post of this list I've added quite a few names
|
|
and sent off and received quite a few of the catalogs listed. I've added
|
|
comments and deleted names of companies that are out of business. I've
|
|
noted my experiences with companies, but I encourage other people to
|
|
give updates, additions and correction.

|
Their catalog doesn't list how much their catalog is. I'm
|
|
sure it wasn't more than $2. It might be free.
|
|
|
|
>From their catalog - "We are ... of the jungle. This catalog
|
|
lists some of our favorite beneficial plants and botanical
|
|
products from our personal collection ... The propagule units
|
|
listed here are intended for cultivation as houseplants only.
|
|
The data provided on folk uses is given for historical
|
|
interest and can be found in ethnobotanical literature. We do
|
|
not suggest or imply attempting such folk use ... [ :-) ]"
|
|
|
|
They sell San Pedro cuttings and a number of other
|
|
Trichocereus Cacti seeds, Hawaiian Woodrose, Datura, etc.
|
|
Pretty much every legal medicinal plant. They are very prompt
|
|
at shipping orders.

I've never seen another spore print, but the one that comes with the

catalog is a very small folded up piece of paper in a sealed envelope.
|

The catalog is pretty neat - there are lots of Psilocybe and Panaeolus

species I haven't seen in other catalogs - on of the psilocybe species
|
|
is "yet to be identified." FMRC sells supplies, videos, cultures, etc.
|

|
|
Mushroom Culture." Stuff is a little pricey, but it comes from one
|
|
of the best in the business.

The advertise under the "science" heading in Discover magazine. I expected

received what is clearly a catalog for illicit drug manufacturers. Their

small list of chemicals is almost entirely direct amphetamine or P-2-P

|
precursors: ephedrine, phenylacetic acid, phenylacetonitrile, hydroiodic
|
|
acid, acetic anhydride, benzyl choride, methylamine, etc. The

front of the catalog says "Since we are in the retail business, all

personal orders will be gladly accepted." I would have a hard time
