A unique and exciting species endemic to Natal, South Africa.

Originally collected in 1994 in KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa in an artificially fertilized cattle pasture, another collection was made nearby in 1998 from an irrigated lawn at the Royal Natal National Park. Though it resembles Psilocybe cubensis, recent genetic testing has confirmed that it is a unique species. In comparison to the closely related P. cubensis, it is incredibly vigorous and resistant to disease.
