Inocybe Aeruginascens For Sale is a small mycorrhizal mushroom with a conic to convex cap which becomes plane in age and is often fibrillose near the margin. It is usually less than 5cm across, has a slightly darker blunt umbo and an in incurved margin when young.

Edibility

Contains psilocybin, baeocystin and a newly discovered Indole which Gartz named aeruginascin. (N, N, N-trimethyl-4-phosphoryloxytryptamine) In the 1980s several mushroom collectors in Europe ate this species believing it to be edible, causing accidental intoxications which were reported as being very euphoric.Inocybe Aeruginascens For Sale

Aeruginascin is a trimethylammonium analogue of psilocybin. Inocybe aeruginascens is a small mycorrhizal mushroom with a conic to convex cap which becomes plane in age and is often fibrillose near the margin.
