Type species
Conocybe tenera [1]

The genus Conocybe is a genus of mushrooms consisting of Conocybe tenera and at least 243 other species, with at least 50 species in North America. Most have a long, thin fragile stem and are delicate, growing in grasslands on dead moss, dead grass, sand dunes, decayed wood, and dung. Conocybes are sometimes called dunce caps or cone heads because due to their conical or bell-shaped cap. Species of Conocybe which have a well developed partial veil are placed in the subgenus Pholiotina. [2] Similar to Galerina, Conocybe can be distinguished microscopically by its cellular cap cuticle which is filamentous (thread-like) in Galerina. It is easy to confuse Conocybe species for Galerina unless the microscopic nature of the cap cuticle is examined. Conocybes have cap cuticles resembling cobblestones. Conocybes can also be mistaken for Bolbitius. Conocybe prefers fertile soils in lawns and pastures and is found worldwide. For other uses, see Scientific classification (disambiguation). ...

Four species of Conocybe that are known to contain psilocin and psilocybin are Conocybe kuehneriana, Conocybe Siligineoides, [3], Conocybe Cyanopus, and Conocybe Smithii.
