Why are they called Psilo- ?
    #22000316 - 07/26/15 02:58 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Sorry if this question has come up before.

Quote:

psilo-
before vowels psil-, word-forming element meaning "stripped, bare," from Greek psilos "bare, naked; mere," perhaps akin to psen "to rub," and both or either perhaps from PIE root *bhes- "to rub" (cf. Greek psamathos "sand;" see sand (n.)).




From here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/psilo-


How is this meaning relevant? Does anyone know anything? Thanks!

From wiki
Quote:

The word Psilocybe comes from the Greek words ψιλός + κύβη,[2] and literally means "bare headed", referring to the mushroom's detachable pellicle (loose skin over the cap). It may be pronounced with the accent on the first syllable /ˈsɪlɵsaɪbiː/[3] or the second /saɪˈlɒsəbiː/.[4] The final e is not silent. The marked difference between the Botanical Latin-based pronunciation (given here) and anglicized colloquial pronunciations (with a silent "e") is sometimes a source of confusion in oral communication about this genus.[citation needed]

In Holland they are called Kaalkopjes "Baldheads" which is the meaning of Psilocybe.
