SafePsilocybe coprophila is considered non-toxic and non-psychoactive. It does not contain psilocybin or psilocin. However, due to its small size and lack of culinary value, it is not recommended for consumption. Misidentification with other dung-inhabiting species, some of which can be psychoactive or mildly toxic, is a significant risk.
