What about moving this page to Psilocybe semilanceata? As far as I know, the name Liberty Cap is predominantly used in the UK. 80.203.115.12 21:59, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Thought I would expand the article as I was surprised at how little there was concerning such an important species. Modern use does focus on other mushrooms, but I feel it is neccessary to explain the recent resurgence in PS use... --DWA M 217.158.132.35 15:30, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
I took action and moved the article back to "Psilocybe semilanceata". All other articles on Psilocybe species are listed under their scientific name, and this should be too, even if it does happen to have a common name that's actually in widespread use.
Hello. I was looking around the internet and according to http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/25319 the displayed photographs aren't Psilocybe semilanceata, but Copelandia cyanescens. Someone could clear it out? It's not only this page actually, one can just make 'image' search on yahoo.com both for P. S and C. C and he will find out that the people always mistake between these two.
In the Norwegian article there's a section on the risks of mistaking several other types of mushrooms for this one, and some of them are highly toxic. Shouldn't this be something the current article should discuss as well? __ meco ( talk) 18:27, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I removed this sentence from the two-paragraph lead because I believed it lent an undue weight to a single research study that has not demonstrated any lasting significance to the subject of the article:
The mushroom has also been shown to inhibit an antibiotic-resistant form of the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, and it secretes antifungal compounds that help it compete for nutrients with soil microorganisms.
Many agents have been shown to inhibit MRSA in vitro, but unless there are further sources demonstrating a particular interest in this property of P.semilanceata, it would be misleading to mention it in the intro, and would attribute to this finding more significance than is appropriate. While the lead should summarize the article's contents, this sentence certainly does not adequately summarise the "Ecology and habitat" section - we already refer to this section in the lead when we mention habitats and the mushroom's saprotrophic nature.-- Pontificalibus ( talk) 15:29, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
Among the article's references, the journal article [1] refers to the unfortunate man mistaking Cortinarius rubellus for Psilocybe semilanceata, with drastic consequences. However, it seems much more likely that he was instead hunting Psilocybe cubensis which resembles the Cortinarius much more closely than Psilocybe semilanceata. So the reference is certainly relevant (if only because it mentions Psilocybe semilanceata), but apparently for the wrong reasons. Comments? Fairflow ( talk) 19:20, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations to all the contributors to this featured article. I love the photo. I used to go mushroom hunting as a child so this article does interest me. You deserve a lot of applause, recognition and appreciation. What a wonderful article.
Is it right to have this sentence in the introduction Of the world's psilocybin mushrooms, it is the most common in nature ?
Later on the article we can read : Psilocybe authority Gastón Guzmán, in his 1983 monograph on psilocybin mushrooms, claimed it is the world's most common psychoactive mushroom. Boussole folle ( talk) 07:40, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
Why mention the presence of phenylethylamine in the article introduction before baeocystin ?
Baeocystime is much more present, even psilocin could be more present. Boussole folle ( talk) 07:40, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

The article presents the species' common name in North America as being its only common name; in the U.K., at least, it's known as the Magic Mushroom, not as the Liberty Cap. This can be confirmed by reference to most if not all on-line sources. -- 213.31.16.54 ( talk) 21:39, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
