Psilocybe subhyperella

Psilocybe subhyperella was described by Singer in 1973 from Colombia; the only GBIF record is from Salto de Tequendama in Cundinamarca, collected in July 1960. The site is cool, wet Andean montane forest, which sets the conditions here; its ecology is otherwise undocumented. Many Psilocybe species contain psilocybin, a controlled substance in many countries; check local law before cultivating.
