Psilocybe cyanescens has a hygrophanous pileus that is fawn-brown or chestnut-brown when damp, fading to fade ochraceous or somewhat yellowish. It contusions with a blue-green or bluish shade, usually still visible on dried out stipe. Cap is usually 2-5 cm across, noticeably bumpy in maturity. Lamellae adnate to sligtly subdecurrent, chocolate brownish or ochraceous in maturity, with white edge. Fibrillose annular zone on stipe is lacking. Microscopically, this types is defined by typical clavate-mucronate pleurocystidia. Psilocybe cyanescens expands on woody debris - in the presence of woodchips and also mulched plant beds (especially under rhododendrons). In the U.S., P. cyanescens takes place mostly in the Pacific Northwest, south to north California. It can be found in addition to in Western and also Central Europe. This varieties was likely presented to Europe, where it occurs mainly in cemeteries, botanic gardens as well as city parks. Psilocybin mushrooms are not especially named in the U.S.A. government organizing system, however their 2 key active chemicals Psilocybin and Psilocin are both Schedule I in the United States. This indicates they are prohibited to make, acquire, possess, or distribute (sell, trade or offer) without a DEA license. Fresh and also dried
Psilocybe cyanescens are taken into consideration containers of Psilocybin and also Psilocin, making them unlawful to have. They are legal to possess as well as offer (in all states except California, Georgia and also Idaho)because spores consist of no psilocybin or psilocin. Yet in most states, it is illegal to grow or circulate spores into mycelium considering that mycelium generally has both psilocybin and psilocin. Wavy cap or Caramel-capped psilocybe (Psilocybe cyanescens Wakef.) is a powerful psychedelic mushroom whose primary energetic compounds are psilocybin and also psilocin. It belongs to the family Strophariaceae in the order Agaricales. It is one of the most preferred psychoactive fungis. There are two ideas of this varieties as Psilocybe cyanescens Wakef. emend. Krieglst. and also Psilocybe cyanescens Wakef. sensu stricto. One of the most relevant species is Psilocybe azurescens Stamets & Gartz which differs by conelike and also really umbonated pileus, varicolored stipe with remains of veil building a strong fibrillose annular zone, big fruit bodies and also rather longer spores.
