Pronunciation and usage

The word psilocybe comes from the Greek words ψιλος + κυβη and literally means "bare headed", referring to the mushroom's plain cap. It may be pronounced with the accent on the first syllable (IPA [ˈsɪləˌsaɪbi]; MWCD [ˈsi-lə-ˌsī-bē]) or the second (IPA [saɪˈlɒsəbi]; MWCD [sī-ˈlä-sə-bē]). 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.

Mushrooms other than blue-staining Psilocybe, most notably Panaeolus (=Copelandia) cyanescens and its relatives, contain psilocybin and psilocin in active quantities. The more general term "psilocybin mushrooms" or "psilocybian mushrooms" is used to refer collectively to all mushrooms that contain active quantities of psilocybin and psilocin. Conversely, inactive species of Psilocybe would not be included in that category.

Apparently the correct pronunciation has the ending E pronounced. So clearly it's sill-o-sea-bay or sill-o-sea-bee.

"Sy - lo - sy - bee" sounds a little awkward to me. I say it with the final -e silent.

I've heard psilocybin pronounced an alternate way as well. Without the "long I". e.g sih-locybin

Correct is with four syllables and the accent on the second syllable.

In holland we pronounce it psee-lo-see-buh but in American English I'd instinctively pronounce it something like psi-lo-si-bee.

I get annoyed by the American swallowing of parts of words. "Herbs" the British way sounds good to me, the American equivalent "'urbs" just sounds silly.

It's Herbalism, not 'urbalism :smirk:

On the same note people from Amsterdam and surroundings pronounce the letter R as if they're collecting mucus to spit, while in the rest of Holland its pronounced as something actually belonging in an alphabet. They literally do NOT use the vocal chords for the letter R but more or less dryly rack up spit in their throat.

An Amsterdammer in the USA would bring the best of both worlds, first stealing the H from HeRbalism and immediately thereafter spitting you in your face :grin:

The traditional Latin pronunciation is "see-LO-koo-bay," but I say "SILL-uh-sigh'b"
"see-LO-koo-bay koo-BAIN-sis (or koo-BEN-sis)" (Psilocybe cubensis)
I say "SILL-uh-sigh'b que-BEN-sis," being American.
Most scientists don't use traditional Latin, though, and any variation is pretty much accepted.
