Psilocybe paulensis

A little-known psilocybin mushroom described by Guzmán and Bononi from São Paulo state, Brazil, and treated by some as a variety of P. banderillensis. The only GBIF records come from the Atlantic Forest coast of São Paulo and Paraná; nothing is published on cultivating it. Psilocybin-containing; check local law before culturing.

Where it grows wild

Ecology is barely documented; the records sit in humid subtropical Atlantic Forest, where related species (P. banderillensis) fruit on soil and humus rich in woody debris.

Records carry no elevation; the points lie in lowland to lower-montane coastal forest.
