Psilocybe stercoricola

A dung-loving Psilocybe described by J. B. Cleland in 1927 from South Australia. Records from the Mount Lofty Ranges, Fleurieu Peninsula, Kangaroo Island, Canberra and Melbourne find it on kangaroo and wallaby dung and in grassy eucalypt woodland, in the cool wet winter. Whether it contains psilocybin is not documented; if it does, it is controlled in many countries, so check local law before cultivating.
