Psilocybe acadiensis

A dark-spored agaric described by Alexander H. Smith in 1946, the epithet pointing to Acadia (the Canadian Maritimes and Maine). No usable GBIF records or ecological notes were found, so everything below is inferred from temperate North American Psilocybe. Like other Psilocybe it is presumed to contain psilocybin, which is controlled in many countries; check local law before any cultivation.
