Periglandula turbinae is a fungus of the genus Periglandula in the family Clavicipitaceae.[1][2][3][4] It is symbiotic with Ipomoea corymbosa and is responsible for the ergoline alkaloids present in the plant like ergine (lysergic acid amide; LSA), which in turn are responsible for the psychedelic and entheogenic effects of Ipomoea corymbosa.[1][2][3][4]
