Psilocybe longispora

Described by Murrill in 1945 from a dried-up cypress pond near Gainesville, Florida, and also treated as Naematoloma longisporum. Most recent records come from sphagnum bogs and moss, in Ontario, Massachusetts and raised bogs in western Siberia. Whether it contains psilocybin is not documented here; many Psilocybe do and are controlled in many countries, so check local law before any cultivation.

Where it grows wild

Grows among moss and plant debris in wet, acidic places: the Florida type in a dried-up cypress pond, and later collections in sphagnum and raised ombrotrophic bogs.

Records are lowland: about 60 m in Florida, 195–230 m in Massachusetts and Ontario, and West Siberian lowland bogs in Russia.
