Psilocybe are found in a variety of habitats and substrates. Many of the species found in temperate regions , such as Psilocybe cyanescens , seem to have an affinity for landscaped areas mulched with woodchips and are actually rather rare in natural settings removed from human habitation. [ 16 ]
Psilocybe species commonly found in the tropics include P. cubensis and P. subcubensis. P. semilanceata—considered by Guzmán to be the world's most widely distributed psilocybin mushroom [221] —is found in Europe, North America, Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand, but is entirely absent from Mexico.

Psilocybin mushrooms occur on all continents, but the majority of species are found in subtropical humid forests. [18] P. cubensis is the most common Psilocybe in tropical areas. P. semilanceata , considered the world's most widely distributed psilocybin mushroom, [ 23 ] is found in temperate parts of Europe, North America, Asia, South America ...
Several studies have quantified the amounts of hallucinogenic compounds found in the fruit bodies of Psilocybe semilanceata. In 1993, Gartz reported an average of 1% psilocybin (expressed as a percentage of the dry weight of the fruit bodies), ranging from a minimum of 0.2% to a maximum of 2.37% making it one of the most potent species (but ...
In a new study, researchers said psilocybin, an ingredient found in so-called magic mushrooms, was more effective in treating depression than niacin or microdosing with psychedelic drugs
Because Psilocybe cubensis is intimately associated with cattle ranching, [17] the fungus has found unique dispersal niches not available to most other members of the family Hymenogastraceae. Of particular interest is the cattle egret ( Bubulcus ibis ), a colonizer of Old World origin (via South America), whose range of distribution overlaps ...
Magic mushrooms bought on the street or grown at home contain a class of natural compounds called tryptamines. Some tryptamines are neurotransmitters, naturally occurring chemical messengers in ...
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.
