Psilocybe oedipus

Psilocybe oedipus was described by Massee in 1899 from Tasmania. The only GBIF record is the 1896 type collection from the Cascades near Hobart, on dead wood, known from a painting and note in the Rodway Herbarium with no surviving specimen, so its identity and ecology are very poorly known.
