Psilocybe tenuitunicata

Psilocybe tenuitunicata was described by Guzmán and Ramírez-Guillén in 2009 in a Sydowia paper on Psilocybe from the Caribbean, Central America and South America. No records are in GBIF and the country is not given in the sources reached, so the conditions here are a generic Neotropical forest estimate. Many Psilocybe species contain psilocybin, a controlled substance in many countries; check local law before cultivating.
