Periglandula clandestina is a fungus of the genus Periglandula . [1] [2] It is symbiotic with the morning glory plant Ipomoea tricolor (the Mexican morning glory). [1] [2] Ipomoea tricolor seeds are hallucinogenic in humans due to the presence of naturally occurring lysergamides or ergot alkaloids like ergine (lysergic acid amide; LSA) and isoergine (isolysergic acid amide; iso-LSA). [1] [2] The lysergamides present in Ipomoea tricolor are produced by Periglandula clandestina that it is symbiotic with rather than by Ipomoea tricolor itself. [1] [2] Periglandula clandestina, isolated from Ipomoea tricolor, was discovered and first described by Corinne Hazel and Daniel Panaccione at West Virginia University in 2025. [1] [2]
