Psilocybe subcoprophila

Psilocybe subcoprophila (often placed in Deconica) is a small brown dung mushroom of grazed grassland across northern and western Europe. It fruits mainly from late summer to late autumn on cow, horse, sheep and deer dung, and is not reported to bruise blue. Measured climates are cool and damp, and cultivation follows other dung-loving Deconica.
