Psilocybe acutipilea

A Psilocybe described by Spegazzini from Apiaí, São Paulo, Brazil, in 1881 and known from very few records since. Its ecology is essentially undocumented; conditions below come from the single Atlantic Forest site at about 900 m. Like other Psilocybe in this group it is presumed to contain psilocybin, which is controlled in many countries; check local law before any cultivation.
