Psilocybin mushrooms are fungi that contain the psychoactive compound psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound capable of producing powerful hallucinations and mystical-type experiences, along with other effects. They can be found from the Iowa border up to Canada, and if you are in the right habitat at approximately the right time, they can be found in good numbers. They are a tasty, meaty mushroom that is easily spotted under most conditions.
