The specific epitet semilanceata comes from semi- meaning 'half'and -lanceata which means 'spear-shaped'. Some of these little mushrooms do indeed look like spears, although many have wiggly stems uncharacteristic of spear shafts.

[ ] This species contains the compound psilocybin. Because this substance, which occurs in Magic Mushrooms and some related fungi, occasionally causes alarming symptoms including vomiting, stomach pains and anxiety attacks, Liberty Caps are probably best treated with caution (some people even decide to treat them as poisonous).
