Psilocybe

The genus Psilocybe consists of mushrooms containing the hallucinogen psilocybin. Its most notable members are:

Stropharia cubensis, a.k.a. Psilocybe cubensis (native to Cuba; the most commonly consumed psychoactive psilocybe, due to relatively high psilocybin content and ease of cultivation)
Psilocybe semilanceata (native to Western Europe)
Psilocybe cyanescens (native to southwestern North America)
