Glinda's fascination with the Witch's Cap mushroom stems from its magical transformation in the forest. As the mushroom matures, its once vibrant colors transition to deep shades of black, echoing the mysteries of nature and the passage of time. This metamorphosis, combined with the mushroom's unique conical shape, inspired Glinda to capture its essence in a tea blend that embodies warmth, earthiness, and a hint of citrusy zest.

Exploring the Witch's Cap Mushroom

Known as the Witch's Cap or Conical Slimy Cap, this species of agaric mushroom is found across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. Its distinctive conical shape and color-changing properties as it ages make it a fascinating subject of folklore and scientific study alike.

Hygrocybe conica belongs to the Hygrophoraceae family. Its cap starts narrow and conical, becoming more rounded and lobed with maturity, eventually turning entirely black. The mushroom's habitat spans from waxcap grasslands to conifer woodlands, reflecting its adaptability across different ecosystems.
