Psilocybe peruviana

Psilocybe peruviana was described by Singer in 1960, presumably from Peru. GBIF holds only two herbarium records, from Valle del Cauca, Colombia (1968), and the Río Toachi in western Ecuador (1973), both in premontane Andean forest.

Where it grows wild

Premontane Andean forest; no substrate is recorded, so a forest-floor litter habit is assumed.

The measured Colombian site is at about 1560 m.
