Psilocybe hoogshagenii

Psilocybe hoogshagenii grows on humus and muddy clay soils in subtropical coffee plantations at about 1000–1800 m in Mexico and South America. It fruits singly or in small groups, often in large simultaneous flushes in the rainy season. It contains psilocybin, which is a controlled substance in many countries; check local law before cultivating.
