Abstract
ABSTRACT Psilocybe is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi with ecological, ethnomycological, and clinical importance due to psilocybin production by most species. We present five genomes that enable deeper discovery and analysis of the psilocybin gene cluster and increase taxonomic resolution within Psilocybe : Psilocybe semilanceata , Psilocybe gandalfiana nom. prov., Psilocybe caeruleorhiza , Psilocybe azurescens , and Psilocybe allenii .
