| | Hallucinogenic Mushrooms |
 | | Mushrooms that contain the hallucinogens psilocybin and/or psilocin belong mainly to the genera: Psilocybe, Stropharia, Conocybe, and Panaeolus. |
 | | The word "psilocybin" comes from the Greek words "psilo" meaning "bald" and "cybe" meaning "head." Some specific mushrooms containing psilocybin and/or psilocin include Psilocybe mexicana, Stropharia cubensis, Psilocybe semilanceata, Psilocybe pelliculosa, Panaeolus subbalteatus, Psilocybe cyanescens, Psilocybe baeocystis. |
 | | Both psilocybin and psyilocin produce yawning, inability to concentrate, restlessness, increased heart rate, and hallucinations (visual and auditory). |
