Psilocybe verae-crucis

A Psilocybe described by Guzmán and Pérez-Ortiz in 1978 from Veracruz, Mexico. Two GBIF records exist and its ecology is not documented in sources reached here; conditions below come from the hot, very wet lowland site. Like other Psilocybe it is presumed to contain psilocybin, which is controlled in many countries; check local law before any cultivation.
