INOCYBE HAEMACTA

Fibrous Hat
INOCYBE

Inocybe haemacta is one of the rare psilocybian members of the large “fibrous hat” Inocybe genus. Because this genus includes 1400 species of edible, psychoactive and poisonous mushrooms mixed, it has the reputation of making identification dangerously tricky; it is therefore strongly advised to not ingest these from the wild.
Inocybe haemacta is a mycorrhizal mushroom, meaning he has a symbiotic relationship with plants. It inherits its name “haemacta: from the distinct pinkish undertones and pinkish bruising reaction. This mildly hallucinogenic mushroom is widespread throughout Europe yet rarely reported in the Netherlands and the British Isles. It is believed to be more widely distributed than present-day data suggests.

Coloration greenish gray to dark grayish green with a pinkish brown underlayer. Lighter at margin, darker at disk. Surface is dry with radially arranged fibrillose that can be greenish gray to dark gray green. Flesh white to greenish, pinkish when bruised. • Gills: narrow, adnate and weakly attached to the stem.

Strain Effects

Said to be relatively rare and considered a type of oddity in the wide collection of psychedelic fungi. Psilocybe authority Stamet doesn't advise its consumption by the would-be psychonaut.
