Commonly called boomers, magic mushrooms, golden tops, cubes or gold caps, it belongs to the Strophariaceae family of fungi and was previously known as Stropharia cubensis. It is largely known for being among the easiest psilocybin mushroom species to grow and cultivate illicitly. It is also known by the people of the psychedelic drug culture to appear in cow faeces in the Summer months of November, December and January, along the Queensland and upper New South Wales eastern borders.
