Overview

Small, brown mushroom that is frequently found in lawns and other grassy areas. It's recognized by its smooth, brown cap and gills that are brownish in color. This species is considered inedible due to the presence of small amounts of the hallucinogenic compound psilocin, and it can cause gastric upset if consumed. As always, it's essential to properly identify any wild mushrooms before considering them for consumption, as many species can look similar but have vastly different edibility profiles.
