P. subaeruginascens

Psilocybe subaeruginascens is a tropical dung-loving species, closely related to, and resembling the North American P. ovoideocystidiata, which thrives on woody debris and in wood chip piles throughout the Ohio River valley. Adding some mystery into the mix, it is reported to be found in southern Japan growing uncharacteristically from wood. Because of this and several other inconsistencies, Gaston Guzman considered the Japanese collections to represent another related taxon: P. Septentrionalis.

Description

• Pileus (Cap): 20 - 30 mm diam., broadly and obtusely campanulate, ivory or pale greyargillaceous, at disc with blue-green tinge, smooth, dry, veil remnants absent.
• Lamellae (Gills): 16-24 mm reaching stipe, lamellulae in 5 - 7 series, broadly adnate, at first pale brown, becoming fuscous in old specimens, fimbriate edges whitish.
• Stipe (Stem): 4 0 - 6 5 x 2 - 3 mm. cylindrical, equal, white, turning blue-green upon handling, dry, hollow, rather tough, smooth to slightly fibrillose, base with conspicuous white rhizoids and mycelial strands attached to substrate, solitary. Ring fragile and nonpersisting, membranaceous, non-striate, hanging, white.
• Spore Print: Dark brown to black.

Microscopic Features

• Spores:8-9.5x5 - 6.5 x 4.5 - 5.5 um, elliptical to subrhomboid in face view, amygdaliformin side view, thick-walled (1-1.3 um diam.), with distinctive apical germ pore, smooth, opaque.
• Basidia: 24-30x6-8 um, cylindrical or constricted-suburniform, 4-spored, sterigmata up to 7 um long.
• Cheilocystidia: 22–30 x 4.4–6.6 μm, abundant, forming a sterile band, hyaline, lageniform, fusiform-lanceolate or fusoid-ampullaceous, with an elongate and flexuous neck, and are 1–2.2 μm in diameter, sometimes irregularly branched.
• Pleurocystidia: Absent.
• Cheilocystidia: 18 - 24 x 6 - 10 um, polymorphic, shape ranging from fusoid to subutriform, thin-walled, hyaline, apex rounded or subcapitate, occasionally covered with thin, hyaline incrustation

Ecology & Distribution

• Habitat: On horse manure (type) or on soil among litter, in tropical-lowland broadleaf forest. On elephant dung in India. Also reported from woody debris and chip piles in Japan, though this may represent a separate species.
• Range: Indonesia, southern Japan and Kerala state in India.
• Season: April to July.
