Psilocybe plutonia

A small, rarely found psilocybin mushroom of tropical lowland forest in Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia and Brazil, with conical caps 0.5–1.5 cm across. It grows on rotted wood or woody soil. There are no usable GBIF records, so conditions are estimated from its lowland tropical habitat. It contains psilocybin, a controlled substance in many countries; check local law before cultivating.
