Psilocybe zapotecorum
A psilocybin mushroom of humid ravines and cloud forest from Mexico to South America, sometimes growing in clusters of about 50 on steep mossy stream banks. Possessing or growing it is illegal in many countries. The notes here describe its wild conditions; there is no measured climate for it.
Where it grows wild
It grows alone, in groups or in dense clusters near rivers, creeks and ravines, sometimes directly on steep mossy ravine walls. It favours humid, shaded places in mesophytic, oak-pine and cloud forests with alder, magnolia, ash, oak and pine.
Recorded from 153 to 2,800 m, median 1,700 m — mostly montane.
