Samenvatting:

Cliff Hamrick is a middle-aged counselor suffering from life-long depression and anxiety. Though he had tried hundreds of ways to overcome his mental illness, nothing had any lasting benefits. For years, he was content with the idea that at least he wasn't suicidal anymore. He became very good at hiding his depression from his clients and colleagues.

Then, at the age of 48, Cliff tried psychedelics for the first time. Immediately, he felt younger, happier, and more hopeful for the future. It was as if he had been going through life with a straight-jacket on and could finally stretch his arms. He became more interested in psychedelics and decided to use increasing doses of psilocybin mushrooms over the course of a year to overcome his depression once and for all.

Like 'magic mushrooms', Tales from the Mushroom is a story of introspection, mystery, and whimsy. It is a powerful tale of one man's looking into the abyss of depression and fighting the monsters that lie within.
