What is psilocybe caeruleorhiza?

Psilocybe caeruleorhiza is a species of magic mushroom. It is commonly known as the Indigo Psilocybe or Blue-Root Psilocybe due to its blue-colored root. It is found in North America, particularly in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and Canada.

The mushroom contains the psychoactive compounds psilocybin and psilocin, which are responsible for its hallucinogenic effects. It is known to induce euphoria, visual and auditory hallucinations, altered perception of time and space, and changes in mood and thought processes.

The cap of Psilocybe caeruleorhiza is typically dark brown or black, while the stem is typically light brown or tan. The mushroom can grow up to 10 cm in height and has a cap diameter of up to 5 cm.

Psilocybe caeruleorhiza is still being studied for its medical benefits. Some researchers believe that psilocybin could be helpful in treating depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental health issues. However, it is still illegal under federal law in the United States and many other countries.
