Cap: (5-) 10-15 (-30) mm diam, 5-15 (-20) mm high, globose or
conic at first to campanulate, or convex. Margin sulcate-striate . Hygrophanous,
orange-brown or ochraceo-olivaceous.
Gills: Adnate to sinuate, pale ochraceous to dark vilaceous with whitish edges. Stem: (40-) 60-124 (-180) X (1-) 1.5-2 )-3) mm (including the pseudorhiza, Hollow,
slightly irregularly undulate, equal, subbulbous or attenuated at the base. Whitish
to pale or dark ochraceous with grayish fibrills. Spores: (6) 8-10 (-11) X (5-) 6-6.5 (-7) X 5-6 microns. Sporeprint: Chocolate to purple-brown. Habitat: Mycenoid, like P. mexicana without pseudorhiza. Solitary or in
small groups, in clay or sandy soil, in meadows with horses, cattle, or Indian Brahman cattle
(Bos), and or water buffalo (Bubalus), with leaveling grasses, in subtropical
humid regions, at 1000-1600 m altitude. In manured ground but not directly from manure. Distribution: Curently known only from Antioquia in Colombia; Jalisco and Veracruz in Mexico,
and Angkor Wat in Kampuchea (formerly Cambodia). Probably a pantropical species. Season: Monsoon rainy season from late May through October Dosage: Unknown Comment: Collected from three locations in the Angkor Wat Compound of
Cambodia at Banteay Srei (Temple of the Women), 15 km south of Banteay Srei
(rice paddie area) and at Banteay Kdei (Citadel of the Cell). This species
macroscopically resembles Psilocybe semilanceata and Psilocybe galindii.
Psilocybe antioquensis was first reported from Colombia and Psilocybe galindii
from Mexico. Both species belong to the section Mexicanae, but differ
in the microscopic features. The main feature of these three species is the
pseudorhiza which is a subterranean prolongation of the stipe. For more data concerning this
species, read John Allen's paper Psilocybe antioquensis |
