P. baeocystis:

First described scientifically in 1945 by Singer & A.H. Smith, Psilocybe baeocystis is typically found in the Pacific Northwest of North America, often fruiting in wood chips, bark mulch, lawns, or rich soils, particularly in urban and suburban environments.

Description

• Cap: 1.5–5.5 cm in diameter; broadly conic to convex when young, expanding with age. Surface is hygrophanous, dark olive-brown to caramel when moist, fading to pale tan or buff as it dries. The cap often has a gelatinous pellicle that can be peeled away.
• Gills: Attached, close, and becoming adnate to sinuate; color transitions from light brown to dark purplish-brown as spores mature.
• Stipe (Stem): 5–7.5 cm long and 2–4 mm thick; slender, fragile, whitish to brownish, often with blue-green bruising where handled. Sometimes slightly swollen at the base.
• Spore Print: Dark purplish-brown to blackish-violet.
• Spores (microscopic): Ellipsoid, thick-walled, with a distinct germ pore; typically 9–13 × 5–7 μm.

Ecology & Distribution

• Habitat: Grows scattered to gregarious, often in wood chips, bark mulch, compost piles, rich soil, and occasionally on lawns. Strongly associated with human-modified environments.
• Range: Commonly reported from the Pacific Northwest of North America (particularly Oregon and Washington), fruiting in cool, wet conditions. Also reported from Maine and Connecticut.
• Season: Typically from late summer through early winter after rains.

Phylogeny

• Section: Aztecorum
