Psilocybe serbica is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae. The mushroom contains the psychotropic compounds psilocybin and psilocin, and also related tryptamine alkaloids baeocystin, norbaeocystin, and aeruginascin.[1] It is closely related to Psilocybe aztecorum.[2] It was reported as new to science by Meinhard Moser and Egon Horak in 1969.[3] Molecular analysis published in 2010 has shown that P. serbica is the same species as Psilocybe bohemica described by Šebek in 1983,[4] Psilocybe arcana described by Borovička and Hlaváček in 2001,[5] and Psilocybe moravica by Borovička in 2003.[6][7] Psilocybe serbica is common in Central Europe.
