SPECIES ATLAS · INOCYBE

Inocybe subaeruginascens

Named by Y.G. Fan, Hai J. Li, Fei Xu, T.Z. Liu & J.Qi Liang, 2026

Psilocybin record: reported (one analysis)

A history of a name and a chemistry record, not an identification guide. No name, picture or description can show that a wild mushroom is safe, and poisonous mushrooms are mistaken for magic mushrooms. If someone may have eaten a wild mushroom, call a poison centre without waiting for symptoms: 1-844-POISON-X in most of Canada, 1-800-463-5060 in Quebec. Call 911 if they’re unconscious, not breathing or having a seizure.

How it was named.

Described in 2026 in MycoKeys 141 from a 2022 collection at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. The name points to its similarity to Inocybe aeruginascens.
