Psilocybe cyanescens

Psilocybe cyanescens, commonly known as “Wavy Cap” due to its distinctively undulating cap edges, is a potent species of psychoactive mushroom. Native to temperate regions, it thrives in wood-rich environments like mulched gardens, forest paths, and urban green spaces. Known for its deep caramel to chestnut-colored caps and striking blue bruising when handled, P. cyanescens contains high concentrations of psilocybin and psilocin, making it a subject of interest for researchers and microscopy enthusiasts. Its seasonal fruiting patterns, typically during cool, wet autumn months, add to its allure among enthusiasts.
