Proposed merger with Psilocybe caerulescens var. caerulescens
Psilocybe caerulescens var. caerulescens has recently been shown to be synonymous with Psilocybe weilii. I therefore propose that the two be merged to the Psilocybe caerulescens var. caerulescens page or to just Psilocybe caerulescens.

 * the reliable source is the mycologist alan rockefeller (psilocybe expert) who is speaking first hand on the site mushroomobserver.org. How is an expert giving a first hand description not a reliable resource? This species should be merged with p. caerulescens.
 * We need a written account, preferably in a scientific journal; see WP:Reliable source. Sasata (talk) 17:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I have been waiting on this until something gets published. They are definitely the same though.  Phylogenetically, Psilocybe caerulescens is in the clade with Psilocybe mexicana, not in the Cordisporae as spore morphology would suggest.

technical jargon
Botany is good, but wikipedia is an encyclopedia anyone can edit as well as hopefully, anyone can read and understand. For me, the article reads like a botanical text, obscured by Latin & requiring much clicking to find definitions. In the interests of not sending the reader to another page so frequently (or switching off completely), can we have (even in brackets) some regular English language descriptors? I started but it's a pain. Manytexts (talk) 15:15, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
