An identification key to psychoactive bluing Psilocybe species growing on woody debris in Central Europe is presented. It is mainly based on microcharacters and includes 7 taxa (6 species and 1 variety) of the stirpes Serbica and Cyanescens (former “Psilocybe cyanescens complex“). Micro-, macroscopical, ecological and phenological characters and distribution of the taxa in Europe are presented and discussed.
