Psilocybe cyanescens, sometimes referred to as wavy caps or as the potent Psilocybe, is a species of powerful psychedelic mushroom. The major substances in charge of its psychedelic effects are psilocybin and also psilocin. It belongs to the family members Hymenogastraceae. The mushroom is not usually considered being physically hazardous to adults. Since all the psychoactive substances in Psilocybe cyanescens are water-soluble, the fruiting bodies can be rendered non-psychoactive via parboiling, permitting their cooking use. Nonetheless, given that lots of people locate them extremely bitter and also they are as well little to have terrific nutritive worth, this is not regularly done. Psilocybe cyanescens container in some cases fruit in colossal amount; greater than 100,000 mushrooms were found expanding in a single patch. Psilocybe cyanescens expands today mainly on timber chips, especially in as well as along the border of mulched plant beds in city areas, however can also expand on various other lignin-rich substrates. P. cyanescens does not expand on substrate that is not lignin-rich. Fruitings have been reported in natural settings previously although most seem migrations from mulched plant beds. The types does not generally grow on mulch that is made from bark. Its most distinguishing characteristic is an undulating cap margin (the mycological term for the external edge of the cap), which provides its mushrooms the label "wavy caps." It expands on timber chips or woody particles in yards, garden beds, and also along mulched pathways. When young, its mushrooms have a popular, cortinate ("web-like") partial shroud, which rapidly breaks down at maturity. P. cyanescens has a relatively high psilocin web content, and also blues promptly when wounded.
