Psilocybe parvula

Psilocybe parvula is a tiny Tasmanian dung fungus, described by Chang and Mills in 2006 (first as Stropharia parvula), with caps seldom over 10 mm across. All three collections grew on wallaby dung, at Mount Field National Park, near Nugent and in the Sandspit River Forest Reserve, between April and June.
