Psilocybe sempervivae

Described by Roger Heim and Roger Cailleux in 1958 in their work on the hallucinogenic agarics of Mexico. GBIF holds only a few Mexican vouchers and DNA sequences, with no habitat notes. Whether it contains psilocybin is not documented; if it does, it is controlled in many countries, so check local law before cultivating.
