Panaeolus cyanescens, also known as Copelandia cyanescens and Copelandia papilonacea is a hallucinogenic mushroom that contails psilocybin, serotonin, and urea. [1]
[edit] Description
The cap is 3.5 cm across, hemispheric to convex, and incurved when young. Tan at first, becoming light grey in age. The gills are adnexed and close, grey to black. The stem is 8 to 12 cm long and 1 to 3 cm thick and pale yellow, staining blue where bruised. This mushroom is very similar to Panaeolus tropicalis.
[edit] Habitat and Distribution
Panaeolus cyanescens is a coprophiliac (dung-inhabiting) species which grows in tropical and neotropical areas in both hemispheres. It has been reported in Hawaii, Louisiana, Florida, Austrailia, Mexico, Bolivia, the Philippines, Thailand, France, Brazil, and Hawaii, and is probably more widely distributed.
