Psilocybe hopii

A bluing, psilocybin-containing Psilocybe described in 2010 by Guzmán and Greene from the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff, Arizona. It fruits in the late-summer monsoon in high-elevation mountain forest and is one of the few Psilocybe of the arid Southwest.

Where it grows wild

On soil and forest litter in high-elevation conifer and aspen forest on the San Francisco Peaks; records cluster in August and September after monsoon rains.

Recorded around 2,700-3,000 m (median 2,743 m); the 10 m and 3,851 m elevations in the data are almost certainly georeferencing errors.

Southwestern U.S.A.
