This guide is a calm, harm-reduction focused overview of commonly discussed psilocybin-containing mushroom species. Instead of promising predictable outcomes or “strain effects,” it centers variability, context, misidentification risk, and why assumptions can lead to harm. Each species is presented in a consistent visual format designed to be read slowly and referenced intentionally. Inside you’ll find species-by-species breakdowns covering reported subjective effects, important context, common misconceptions, identification risks, and key safety considerations. The emphasis throughout is on uncertainty, individual sensitivity, and environmental factors rather than potency myths or simplified comparisons. This guide is not a how-to and does not provide dosing instructions. It’s designed for education, reflection, and harm reduction.
