Psilocybe cyanescens, known as the Wavy Cap, is a species of psilocybin-containing mushroom that grows on wood. This saprophytic mushroom gets its common name from the flat brown caps with characteristic “wavy” edges. Psilocybe cyanescens (also called Wavy Caps) is a psychedelic mushroom species containing the psychoactive compound psilocybin. I also found the shelf to be quote stable when we had it on our jute rug, which could also help keep the shelves stables I am not sure how they would fair on a smoother rug without texture, but I think it would help. Again, this is not a fail safe but another element in helping the shelves stability. Most of Europe, Canada, the majority of the United States, and the whole of the United Kingdom have listed psilocybin as a controlled substance. As it stands, the possession of psilocybin in these countries is a criminal offense. If you’re caught with psilocybin-containing mushrooms such as Psilocybe cyanescens, you could face hefty fines and/or prison time. There’s another risk associated with Psilocybe cyanescens that you don’t get with some other species of psychedelic mushrooms — a phenomenon called Wood-Lovers Paralysis, or WLP for short [ 4].

Although in Canada, psilocybin remains illegal, several dispensaries openly sell them. It seems that, similar to places such as the Netherlands, the Canadian government turns a blind eye to soft drug use. Then all I had left to do was cut the basswood on my Cricut, glue the strips to the remaining three edges using wood glue and paint. In this article, we’ll look at this species in depth — where it grows, what it looks like, its potency, how to cultivate it, and much more. What Are Psilocybe cyanescens Mushrooms?

If this occurs, aeruginascin could potentially convert to a compound that’s extremely similar to the toad venom bufotenine, which is known to cause paralysis. In a 1985 analysis of Psilocybe cyanescens by T Stijve and T W Kuyper, samples collected from Europe also produced varied potency results [ 2]. The psilocybin levels of dry P.cyanescens were in the range of 0.1 to 0.80%, and psilocin levels were between 0.04 and 0.47%. This is again a lot of variation and a lower range than Beug and Bigwood’s results from the mushrooms found in the Pacific Northwest.

This psilocybin mushroom is a favorite because several expansive colonies often grow in relatively small areas. It’s an extremely prolific producer and an aggressive colonizer. If you find one cap, you’ll likely find tens, if not hundreds, more growing in close proximity. The options for cooking with magic mushrooms are endless. You can make all sorts of psychedelic meals, such as shroom pizza, using psilocybin-containing mushroom species. Psilocybe cyanescens grows on rotting wood, the woodland floor, mulch, and on vegetable beds across the globe. It’s found in deciduous and coniferous forests, but it prefers growing on wood from deciduous trees. The history and origins of Psilocybe cyanescens are rather blurry. British mycologist Elsie Maud Wakefield first described the species in 1838. Wakefield gave the Wavy Cap shroom its binomial name Psilocybe cyanescens. If left untreated, you can become extremely weak and develop a serious illness a couple of days after ingesting the amatoxins. Often, it’s too late to recover from the poison by this time, and soon after becoming weak, the organs fail — causing death in many cases.Several samples of P.cyanescens were collected from the Czech Republic and tested. Psilocybin levels ranged from 0.13 to a staggering 1.84%, and psilocin levels ranged from 0.28 to a massive 1.81%. I know it might seem implausible building a shelf using MDF, PVC pipes and construction adhesive, but it’s not. However there are a few things I did (and some extra things you can do) to make sure its stable: On the one hand, the high potency means you’ll consume far less organic matter when consuming a sub-psychedelic dose. This makes it far easier to fit single microdoses of dry ground mushrooms into small capsules or less hassle to ingest the un-powdered organic matter orally. However, this can be hard to calculate due to this species’ potency variation. This can be both a pro and a con for the person that wants to use magic mushrooms to microdose.

Stijve, T., & Kuyper, T. W. (1985). Occurrence of psilocybin in various higher fungi from several European countries. Planta medica, 51(05), 385-387. The Wavy Cap (Psilocybe cyanescens) is a potent species of psilocybin-containing fungi. However, their potency can vary greatly from one shroom to the next, making it extremely difficult to calculate doses accurately. Amatoxins can cause nausea and severe vomiting a couple of hours after ingestion. In many cases, the body rids itself of these toxins within a day, and most people recover. However, other people may experience no symptoms at all — this is where the effects of amatoxins can become more sinister.Beug, M. W., & Bigwood, J. (1982). Psilocybin and psilocin levels in twenty species from seven genera of wild mushrooms in the Pacific Northwest, USA. Journal of ethnopharmacology, 5(3), 271-285. It’s believed that Psilocybe cyanescens originated in the United States and was transported to mainland Europe and the United Kingdom. This would make the species non-native to the European countryside. However, this is also debated since some believe it originated in Central Europe and was introduced to the Pacific Northwest.
