Psilocybe bohemica

A blueing wood-rotting species described by Šebek in 1983 from Bohemia; molecular work in 2010 showed it is the same species as Psilocybe serbica, common in Central Europe. It fruits in autumn on rotting wood and plant debris along forest creeks and paths. Many Psilocybe contain psilocybin, which is controlled in many countries; check local law before any cultivation.
