Psilocybe scocholmica

A small agaric described by A. P. D. Parker-Rhodes in 1950 in New Phytologist; the epithet refers to Skokholm, the Welsh island where he studied fungi. There are no GBIF records beyond the name, so its habitat is inferred. Whether it contains psilocybin is not documented; if it does, it is controlled in many countries, so check local law before cultivating.

Where it grows wild

Undocumented. Presumed to fruit in the short, rabbit-grazed maritime turf of Skokholm, on soil or dung-enriched ground.

Presumably near sea level on a small island.
