Hi Jeff,
Apparently this is the same as Psilocybe mexicana, just abbreviated
Psil?
It makes a big file, so I'll send you those privately.

Psil.

Signs
Psilocybe caerulescens Murray. N.O. Strophariaceae [Agaricaceae].
Psilocybe is a genus with approx. 75 types of fungi spread around the
world. Some types from the section Caerulescentes contain
hallucinogenic substances [psilocybine and psilocine] and are eaten
by Mexican Indians. Other types are deadly poisonous. Most have quite
a thin stem and a bullet-shaped cap that ends in a nipple-like top.
Its height varies from 3 to 10 centimetres. The generic name
caerulescens refers to the blue discolouration of the flesh of the
cap when damaged.
Psilocybes are quite common in Western Europe. They grow on grassy
roadsides, on sandy forest floors and in heavily fertilised soil.
They have no psychotropic effect.
P. caerulescens prefers "clayey soils recently or freshly crumbled or
caved in with no vegetation; sometimes it develops in sugar cane
plantations, apparently associated with the pressed pulp of the sugar
cane, but never growing upon the pulp itself. It grows in
charac-teristic clumps of five or six mushrooms, which the natives
call families." [Flores Toledo]
The Central American Indians have a mushroom culture that is many
centuries old. The Aztecs used them in mythological and sacramental
rituals. Nowadays the emphasis has shifted to divination and healing
rituals. The mushrooms evoke visual and auditive hallucinations in
which the dream state becomes reality.
"The effect is strongly ethereal, but has an earthy quality as well.
You can, for example, spiritually reach for a person or a place and
perceive how they are doing. If something were to be wrong with the
person in question, you could 'feel' it. You can travel to the future
and know how a certain matter would develop. You can also, as a
spiritual being, examine your own body. You would pick up signals of
the black areas and know what to do about them." [Hellinga and Plomp]
The chemical structure of psilocybine and psilocine, the active
constituents, has the same basis [tryptamine] as the neurohormone
serotonin. This similarity in basic structure means that they
probably affect the same parts of the nervous system. Serotonin is
present in relatively high concentrations in some areas of the
central nervous system [hypothalamus, basal ganglia]; it is a
vasoconstrictor that inhibits gastric secretion and stimulates smooth
muscle. Proved by David Flores Toledo in 1968; according to Julian
three provers [2 women, 1 man] were involved, whereas Flores Toledo
mentions the participation of 43 "experimenters". The experiments
included ingestion of the mushroom, olfaction ["involuntarily
inhaling the substance to prepare the mother tincture"], and
application of five different potencies [D5, C6, C12, C30, LM6]. A
full account of the "initation of a pathogenesia" was published in La
Revue Belge d'homeopathie, 1984, 36, [1], p. 27-53.
