Psilocybe columbiana

Psilocybe columbiana is a mushroom known only from the high-mountain páramos of Colombia, in the Psilocybe fagicola complex. There are no measured records, so conditions are inferred from páramo climate: cool days, near-freezing nights and constant mist. It contains psilocybin, which is a controlled substance in many countries; check local law before cultivating.
