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]
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.

Their 1963 publication was the first report of psilocybin in a European mushroom species; previously, it had been known only in Psilocybe species native to Mexico, Asia and North America. [33] This finding was confirmed in the late 1960s with specimens from Scotland and England, [ 54 ] [ 55 ] Czechoslovakia (1973), [ 56 ] Germany (1977), [ 57 ...
Generally, psilocybin-containing species are dark-spored, gilled mushrooms that grow in meadows and woods in the subtropics and tropics, usually in soils rich in humus and plant debris. [22] Psilocybin mushrooms occur on all continents, but the majority of species are found in subtropical humid forests. [18]
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.
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
The brown package brazenly listed “Psilocybin Cubensis” — the scientific name for magic mushrooms — as an ingredient. For once, testing showed the claims on the label appeared to be true.
Psilocybin mushrooms are mushrooms which contain the hallucinogenic substances psilocybin, psilocin, baeocystin and norbaeocystin. The mushrooms are collected and grown as an entheogen and recreational drug, despite being illegal in many countries.
