Psilocybe mescaleroensis

A bluing Psilocybe of section Stuntzii described in 2007 from Lincoln County, New Mexico, where it grows on dead grass near ponderosa pine. It contains psilocybin, which is controlled in many countries. It is closely related to P. hopii and P. cyanescens and is known only near its type locality.
