CONOCYBE SIENNOPHYLLA

CONOCYBE-PHOLIOTINA

Conocybe siennophyla is a mild magic mushroom from the Bolbitiaceae family. It has the typical “little brown mushroom” morphology with a typical thin, delicate and fragile stature, and a conic-shaped, yellowish-brown cap. From its pastel yellow cap, the umbo (top of the cap) distinguishes itself by a pronounced darker coloration.

Though not much data is found on this specie, a sufficient number of mycological studies report it to be mildly active.

It is virtually identical to the naked eye to Conocybe kuehnariana (also called C. velutipes), though features thinner walls and smaller spores.
