Psychedelic mushrooms, commonly known as "magic mushrooms," have a distinct anatomy comprising several key parts. The cap (pileus) is the umbrella-shaped top, typically containing the highest concentration of psychoactive compounds like psilocybin. Beneath the cap are the gills (lamellae), responsible for spore production and also rich in psychoactive substances. The stem (stipe) supports the cap and contains psychoactive compounds, though usually in lower concentrations than the cap.
