Psilocybe dunicola

A dune-dwelling Psilocybe first described by Spegazzini as Stropharia dunicola and moved to Psilocybe by Singer in 1968. GBIF has four records, three from Argentina and one from Chile. Almost nothing is published on its biology beyond the name and the habitat implied by it.

Where it grows wild

Sandy dunes, as the epithet says; probably fruits from buried grass and plant debris among dune vegetation after rain.

Few records carry an elevation; dune habitats are coastal or low inland, probably below 500 m.
