Conocybula smithii

A rare, psilocybin-containing mushroom first described in 1967 by Roy Watling as Conocybe smithii. It is named in honor of the American mycologist Alexander H. Smith, who contributed extensively to agaric taxonomy. The species was recently (2024) updated to Conocybula smithii. It is one of the few members of Conocybula reported to contain psilocybin and psilocin, making it psychoactive, although it is not commonly encountered.

Description

• Cap (Pileus): Small, 5–15 mm diameter. Conic to campanulate (bell-shaped), sometimes becoming convex with age. Yellow-brown to cinnamon-brown, hygrophanous, often darker at the center. Smooth, sometimes with a slight sheen; margin even, occasionally faintly striate when moist.
• Gills (Lamellae): Adnate to adnexed. Pale brown when young, becoming cinnamon to rusty brown with maturity due to spore deposition. Moderately close spacing.
• Stipe (Stem): Slender, 25–60 mm long × 1–2 mm thick. Whitish to pale yellowish, sometimes darker toward the base. Fragile, hollow, pruinose (powdery) toward the apex. Lacks an annulus (ring).
• Spore Print: Rusty to cinnamon brown (typical of Conocybe).

Spores (Microscopic): Ellipsoid, smooth, thick-walled, with a distinct germ pore; approx. 12–15 × 7–9 µm.

• Range: Described from the United States, but may occur sporadically in temperate regions of North America and possibly Europe.
