Psilocybe medullosa

Psilocybe medullosa is a small, slender European Psilocybe with a stuffed stem, fruiting in groups in conifer needle and cone litter in mossy forest. It is widespread but rarely reported, mainly from Fennoscandia, the Baltics and the Alps. It probably contains only low levels of psilocybin. It contains psilocybin, which is a controlled substance in many countries; check local law before cultivating.
