Psilocybe cyanofibrillosa

Rhododendron psilocybe

An uncommon Pacific Northwest psilocybin mushroom that fruits from September to December in wood-enriched soil, bark mulch and alder chips, including rhododendron gardens and estuary flood plains. It is close to P. cyanescens and P. subfimetaria and grows on wood chips in the same way. It contains psilocybin, which is a controlled substance in many countries; check local law before cultivating.
