Psilocybe serbica Magic Mushrooms
Psilocybe serbica: Background
Psilocybe serbica magic mushrooms were shown to be the same species as Psilocybe bohemica, Psilocybe arcana, and Psilocybe moravica with molecular analysis in 2010. Psilocybin levels range between 0.11%-1.34%, and concentration is highest in the caps.
Psilocybe serbica: Habitat
Psilocybe serbica magic mushrooms grow in groups on well-decayed wood, twigs, compost, and plant residue, in moist places like along creeks, forest paths, and roadsides of the Czech Republic. Fruits from late September to end of November, though this has been noted to extend to mid-December depending on temperature.
