How do you like to pronounce PSILOCYBIN?

How do you like to pronounce psilocybin? Apparantly, the only correct way to pronounce it is SIGH-LUH-SIGH-BIN, but that was news to me.

Now how about this one, how do you pronounce "PSILOCYBE"? I'd always pronounced it "SI-LOW-SIBE", but then I saw RR's vid and he pronounces it "SI-LAW-SI-BEE".

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would say SIGHlocybin; it doesn't sound natural. It's like pronouncing Winston Churchhill's name, WINEston Churchhill.

Until this thread I had no clue, so I decided to scrap educated guesses and called it 'Piss-ee-bin'.
Now that I know the real way to pronounce it, I'll continue calling it Pisseebin, just because it's easier and sounds nicer in my mind.
I rarely have said the word, anyway, so I'm not causing any harm. As long as I can spell it. Psilocybin.

As notapillow correctly stated:
Sil-la-so-be = Psilocybe
When I talk to people who would not understand that I will say it this way just to make it easier on them:
Sil-lo-sigh-be = Psilocybe
The most important part is as long as the person you are speaking to understands you are saying "Psilocybe". Stamets pronunciation (which is the correct one) throws most people off, and I've even seen Stamets mix in both pronunciations in his lecture videos, so its all really just about making the audience aware he is saying Psilocybe.

Reminds me of when someone was tellin me about some shrooms they found outside that were covered purple with Psychledellin, which is the stuff in shrooms that gets you high.
-------------------- Teonanacatl, open up my eyes This sacrament, this prayer, beyond the world of lies Guide me clearly through that which I dont understand Give me strength to find the path Help me fight any demons as you flow through me wholely This is my prayer, that you protect me from evil, and bring me closer to peace And open up my eyes, so i can see things as you do Amen
