In 2007, a paper by Redhead et al. proposed conserving the genus Psilocybe with Psilocybe semilanceata as its type species. [5] The suggestion was accepted by unanimous vote of the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi of the International Botanical Congress in 2010, meaning that P. semilanceata (a member of the bluing clade) now serves as the type species of the genus.

Psilocybe aztecorum is a species of psilocybin mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae.Known from central Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, Colorado, Canada, Costa Rica [citation needed], and possibly India, the fungus grows on decomposing woody debris and is found in mountainous areas at elevations of 2,000 to 4,000 m (6,600 to 13,100 ft), typically in meadows or open, grassy conifer forests.
Psilocybe semilanceata. Psilocybin mushrooms, or psilocybin-containing mushrooms, commonly known as magic mushrooms or as shrooms, are a type of hallucinogenic mushroom and a polyphyletic informal group of fungi that contain the psilocybin, which turns into the psychedelic psilocin upon ingestion.

North American fruiting bodies of P. cyanescens have been shown to have between 0.66% and 1.96% total indole content by dry weight. [20] European fruiting bodies have been shown to have between 0.39% and 0.75% total indole content by dry weight. [6] North American specimens of P. cyanescens are among the most potent of psychedelic mushrooms.
Psilocybin has been found to have a large, long-lasting impact on the intestinal microbiome and to influence the gut–brain axis in animals. [179] [180] [181] [158] [182] These effects are partially but not fully dependent on its activation of the serotonin 5-HT 2A and/or 5-HT 2C receptors. [158]
Psilocybe semilanceata, commonly known as the liberty cap, is a species of fungus which produces the psychoactive compounds psilocybin, psilocin and baeocystin.It is both one of the most widely distributed psilocybin mushrooms in nature, and one of the most potent.
Psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms, bolsters brain connections between self and memory, thus opening the mind to change, a new study found. Psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms ...
Gills are adnate to sinuate, and become darker as the spores mature. Fruitbodies of P. allenii are variable in size, depending on the substrate in which they grow. The caps are 1.5–9 cm (0.6–3.5 in) in diameter, and range from broadly convex to flattened, sometimes with a slight depression in the center.
