Conocybula cyanopus is a species of fungus that contains psychoactive compounds including psilocybin[2] and the uncommon aeruginascin.[3][4] Originally described as Galerula cyanopus by American mycologist George Francis Atkinson in 1918. It was transferred to Conocybe by Robert Kühner in 1935 before being transferred to Pholiotina by Rolf Singer in 1950 and finally to Conocybula by T. Bau & H. B. Song in 2024. Conocybula cyanopus is recognized as the type species of Conocybula sect. Cyanopodae. [5]

While the taxon Conocybula smithii has sometimes been considered as a junior synonym of Conocybula cyanopus, this much more common species differs by its distribution, DNA barcode, length of its cheilocystidia and pileocystidia. [5]
