Psilocybe pleurocystidiosa

A Psilocybe described by Guzmán in 1983 from the Huautla de Jiménez region of Oaxaca, Mexico, from specimens bought from local Mazatec people in July 1977. Little else is recorded, so the conditions here are estimates for the Mazatec highlands.

Where it grows wild

Collected near Las Regaderas and Puente de Fierro around Huautla de Jiménez, in the Sierra Mazateca. The substrate is not recorded because the type was bought, not collected in place.

Not recorded; the Huautla area lies at roughly 1,500–1,800 m.
