Pronounce Psilocybe Cubensis?
    #6990512 - 05/31/07 08:26 AM (16 years, 8 months ago)

I always thought it was "sil-O-sEYEb"

In the video, RR says it "sil-ah-si-bEEE"

Well, he butchers the pronunciation of "agar" (click red speaker icon for proper pronunciation -- matches how I've heard it used by every lab scientist I've heard use it in California and the Northeast), so I'm not sure just how much credit I give his pronunciations in general.

FWIW, take a look at how M-W.com pronounces psilocybin.

Here is psilocbyin pronounced correctly. Sounds like he's saying it correctly based off of that.

Psilocybin is pronounced: sil o cy(as in cyborg) bin.
Psilocybe is pronounced sil ah so bee

Agar is generally pronounced auger, but among mushroom people, the 'a' is usually pronounced hard, as I do.

However, people in different parts of the world pronounce many words differently. Feel free to use whatever suits you. I've been making the rounds of the mushroom conferences and festivals over the last 25 years, so I generally use the most common pronunciations in that group. If you listen to Gaston Guzman, Gordon Wasson, Stamets, Gary Lingoff, John Allen, etc., speak, it's the way they also say the words. That doesn't make it right, just common in the mushroom community.

si-lo-sibe

It rhymes with imbibe!

Just like side, with a long "i", and you don't pronounce the "e".

The final e IS pronounced.

From Wikipedia

The word psilocybe comes from the Greek words ????? + ???? and literally means "bare headed", referring to the mushroom's plain cap. It may be pronounced with the accent on the first syllable (IPA [?s?l??sa?bi]; MWCD [?si-l?-?s?-b?]) or the second (IPA [sa??l?s?bi]; MWCD [s?-?lä-s?-b?]). 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.


It is actually very hard for native English speakers without a good base in latin to pronounce these kinds of words well, as English has the nasty habit of having vowels sound differently in different words.

You say it wrong then.

But it is one of the more common ways to pronounce it around.

I've heard all sorts of funny pronunciations on T.V.

I say it this way because the first time i saw the word i pronounced it exactly the way it appears to me. Also because ive never meet anyone in real life who actually knows what this is

That was confusing, didn't know what the news reader was talking about, lol
