LSD art is any art or visual displays inspired by psychedelic experiences and hallucinations known to follow the ingestion of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide, also known colloquially as acid). [1]
This was mixed with slideshows and film loops to create an improvisational motion picture art form to give visual representation to the improvisational jams of the rock bands and create a completely "trippy" atmosphere for the audience. The Brotherhood of Light were responsible for many of the light-shows in San Francisco psychedelic rock concerts.
Mushrooms have been found in art traditions around the world, including in western and non-western works. [1] Ranging throughout those cultures, works of art that depict mushrooms can be found in ancient and contemporary times. Often, symbolic associations can also be given to the mushrooms depicted in the works of art.
This was primarily generated by people who used psychedelic drugs such as LSD, mescaline (found in peyote) and psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms) and also non-users who were participants and aficionados of this subculture.
Psilocybe cubensis is commonly known as gold top, golden top or gold cap in Australia, sacred mushroom [9] or blue mushroom in Brazil, and San Ysidro or Palenque mushroom in the United States and Mexico, while the term "magic mushroom" has been applied to hallucinogenic mushrooms in general. [10]
Psilocybe cyanescens, like many other psilocybin containing mushrooms, is sometimes cultivated. [5] Due to the fruiting requirements of the species, it is challenging but possible to get P. cyanescens to produce fruits indoors. [5] Outdoor cultivation in an appropriate climate is relatively easy. [5]
Psilocybe azurescens is a species of psychedelic mushroom whose main active compounds are psilocybin and psilocin.It is among the most potent of the tryptamine-bearing mushrooms, containing up to 1.8% psilocybin, 0.5% psilocin, and 0.4% baeocystin by dry weight, averaging to about 1.1% psilocybin and 0.15% psilocin.
At present, psilocybin mushroom use has been reported among some groups spanning from central Mexico to Oaxaca, including groups of Nahua, Mixtecs, Mixe, Mazatecs, Zapotecs, and others. [2] An important figure of mushroom usage in Mexico was María Sabina, [17] who used native mushrooms, such as Psilocybe mexicana in her practice.
