Psilocybe strictipes

A small psilocybin mushroom of lawns and grassy fields, close to P. semilanceata and P. pelliculosa but with no papilla on the cap. It fruits in late summer and autumn in cool temperate Europe, the Pacific Northwest and Chile, and never grows directly from dung. It contains psilocybin, which is a controlled substance in many countries; check local law before cultivating.
