Psilocybe pseudoaztecorum

A Psilocybe described from Tamil Nadu, India, named for its likeness to the Mexican P. aztecorum. GBIF holds no usable records and the ecology is undocumented in the sources reached, so every target below is a low-confidence guess. Like other Psilocybe in this group it is presumed to contain psilocybin, which is controlled in many countries; check local law before any cultivation.

Where it grows wild

Unknown. The name suggests section Aztecorum, whose members grow on woody debris in cool montane forest; if so, it likely comes from the hills of Tamil Nadu.

Unknown; possibly montane, by analogy with P. aztecorum.
