Psilocybe cubensis:
This species contains psilocybin and
psilosin hallucinogenic toxins. The
possession of which is against the law. The blue stains on the stipe
and pileus are highly correlated with the presence of the toxins.
Recovery is usually complete except in young children or excessive
use. The fruiting body as well as the spawn both contain the toxins
but the spawn slowly loose toxins on storage. Usually found on cow
or horse dung in warm southern climates. |
