Psilocybe australiana

Described by Guzmán and Watling in 1978 from Australia, this name is now treated as a synonym of Psilocybe subaeruginosa, a blueing wood-lover of southern Australian forests and pine plantations. Grow it as you would P. subaeruginosa: an outdoor or cool-room woodchip bed that fruits in the cool, wet months. Many Psilocybe contain psilocybin, which is controlled in many countries; check local law before any cultivation.
