Native to Australia and New Zealand, this rare species was originally described in 2006. Psilocybe alutacea belongs to section Semilanceatae.

Description

• Cap (Pileus): 10–25 mm diameter. Convex to campanulate (bell-shaped), sometimes with a slight umbo. Brownish to yellow-brown when moist, strongly hygrophanous, drying to pale straw or whitish. Smooth, viscid when moist (due to separable pellicle). Even, often translucent-striate when moist.
• Gills (Lamellae): Adnate to adnexed. Pale brown when young, becoming dark purplish-brown with maturity. Edges lighter, whitish due to cystidia.
• Stipe (Stem): 30–60 mm long × 1–2 mm thick. Slender, whitish to pale brown. Smooth to finely fibrillose; hollow and fragile. Sometimes with fine white mycelium; bruises blue when damaged. No annulus.
• Spore Print: Dark purplish-brown.
• Spores (Microscopic): Ellipsoid to subrhomboid; approx. 10–12 × 6–7 µm; thick-walled with a distinct germ pore.
