Psilocybe baeocystis is a psilocybin mushroom of the family Hymenogastraceae. It contains the hallucinogenic compounds psilocybin, psilocin and baeocystin. The species is commonly known by various names such as bottle caps, knobby tops, blue
bells, olive caps.
Psilocybe Baeocystis can be found growing in mulch, wood chips or the lawn with a strong affection towards the bark of Douglas firs. It was first reported in Oregon but is common among the Pacific northwest.
The cap is 1.5 – 5.5 cm (up to 2 inches) broad and conic in shape. It is dark olive brown to buff brown and occasionally steel blue but becomes copper brown in the center when drying. The surface appears gelatinous, with a separable gelatinous
pellicle.
The stem is usually 50-70 mm (about 2 to 3 inches) long by 2-3 mm thick. The spore print is purplish brown.
