Psilocybe semilanceata, commonly known in the UK as the Magic Mushroom, and in the USA as Liberty Cap, appears in grassland in autumn. It is most commonly found on pasture and parkland that has not been enriched with artificial fertiliser.

Etymology

Psilocybe, the genus name, means ‘smooth head’ – a reference to the silkily mooth, scaleless surface of caps of these grassland mushrooms. The specific epitet semilanceata comes from semi- meaning ‘half’and –lanceata which means ‘spear-shaped’. Some of these little mushrooms do indeed look like spears, although many have wiggly stems uncharacteristic of spear shafts.Buy liberty caps Online UK , Where to order Liberty caps in England , Magic mushroom for sale Scotland , Purchase Shrooms online Northern Ireland , Wales

The common name Magic Mushroom is, of course, a reference to the hallucinogenic nature of this grassland species

Psychoactive alkaloid content

This species contains the compound psilocybin. Because this substance, which occurs in Magic Mushrooms and some related fungi, occasionally causes alarming symptoms including vomiting, stomach pains and anxiety attacks, Liberty Caps are probably best treated with caution (some people even decide to treat them as poisonous).

It is our understanding that it is illegal to possess or to sell psilocybin in the UK. As of July 2005, fresh psilocybin mushrooms are now also controlled. They are treated in UK Law in the same way as dried magic mushrooms, because whether fresh or dried they have the same Class A drug status as Heroin, LSD and Cocaine.

Taxonomic history

This species was first described in 1838 by the great Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries, who named it Agaricus semilanceatus. (Most of the gilled mushrooms were included initially in the genus Agaricus!) In 1871 German mycologist Paul Kummer transferred this species to the genus Psilocybe, renaming it Psilocybe semilanceata. The etymology of this name is based on physical features: the generic name Psilocybe means ‘smooth head’, while semilanceata means ‘half spear-shaped’.

Identification guide

Cap

The cap can vary in shape, size and colour. When young it is translucent brown and will stay brown if the weather is wet, if the cap dries it becomes buff/white/grey/silver but almost always has a darker to black bottom edge. The cap has a ‘nipple’ which can be quite pronounced or barely present and the bottom edge always tucks under. When fresh, the cap has a translucent covering that, if you are very careful, can be peeled away.Buy liberty caps Online UK , Where to order Liberty caps in England , Magic mushroom for sale Scotland , Purchase Shrooms online Northern Ireland , Wales

Gills

The gills start light grey/black, are mottled and have a lighter edge but become very dark purple/black as the spores are released.

Stem

The stem is off white, slightly shaggy on close inspection, can have a blueish base with mycelium still joined. The stem usually curves and bends and is rarely straight.

Flesh

Has very thin flesh.

Habitat

More common in fields, moors and grassland where animals are grazed but can be found in lawns and in parks.
