Psilocybe tasmaniana
Psilocybe tasmaniana is a rare, psychoactive mushroom originally described from Tasmania and also reported from southeastern Australia and New Zealand.
Description
Cap (Pileus): Small, 10–20 mm in diameter, convex to subcampanulate (domed to somewhat bell-shaped), without umbo or papilla. The surface is glabrous apart from whitish flecks of veil remnants at the margin. It is slightly striate at the margin when moist, feels a little tacky or sticky, and is hygrophanous, changing colour abruptly from wet to dry. Coloured tawny orange, drying dull or ochraceous straw.
Gills (Lamellae): Adnate (broadly attached) to slightly sinuate (notched), moderately crowded. The color is initially pale brown, maturing to a dark purplish-brown with whitish, fimbriate (fringed) edges.
Stipe (Stem): 20-50 mm long, 1-3 mm thick, cylindrical, fragile, and hollow. The surface is whitish to pale brown, often with fine white fibrils, especially towards the apex. It typically exhibits a weak to moderate bluing reaction, especially at the base when handled or damaged.
Spore Print: Dark purplish-brown.
Microscopic Features
Spores: 12-13 x 7.1-7.7 μm, ellipsoid or subellipsoid to subovate in shape and dark brownish yellow. Thick-walled, broad apical germ pore (situated at one end).
Basidia: 4-spored, transparent and subcylindric, measuring 22-33 x 5.5-9.9 μm.
Pleurocystidia: Around 19-24 × 6.6-8.8 µm, “abundant” in some descriptions. Fusoid-ventricose (tapered toward ends, distinctly swollen in the middle), with short necks (~1.6-2.8 µm).
Cheilocystidia: 22-23 × 4.4-9.9 µm, Fusoid-ventricose, globose-ventricose, or sublageniform; many have long necks (5-11 × 1.6-3.3 µm) Some cheilocystidia show bifurcation (branching) and others have a transparent swollen drop at the tip.
Ecology & Distribution
Habitat: Saprotrophic; grows on dung (notably of marsupials and cattle) and in rich grassy soils.
Distribution: Documented from Tasmania, southeastern Australia, and New Zealand.
Season: Fruits in cooler, wetter months (austral autumn to early winter).
