Psilocybe moseri

A psilocybin mushroom of section Zapotecorum, recorded mostly from Ecuador with one record from Peru. Its section grows on wet, humus-rich ground with plant debris in humid forest. It contains psilocybin, so possessing or growing it is illegal in many countries; little is published on its ecology.
