Psilocybe Cyanescens grows in fields that are rich in rotting wood, wood chips, and sawdust. In the fall and early winter, you’ll most likely see it on the edges of lawns, paths, or heavily mulched rose gardens. It has been seen in the United Kingdom,
Europe and the United States (from San Francisco to southern Alaska).
The cap is 2 – 4 cm (up to 1.5 inches) wide and is wavy. It is a chestnut brown while young and becomes more caramel with age while turning to a dark yellowish brown when dying. It sometimes has a separable gelatinous pellicle.
The spore print is dark purplish brown and the stem is 20 – 80 mm (up to 3 inches) long by 2.5 – 5 mm thick.
