Psilocybe hispanica 2

Outdoor cultivated Psilocybe hispanica. This species is relatively easy to grow on sterilized horse manure placed outside during cool fall weather (around 60F). A relatively newly described species from Spain. In Spain it grows directly on sheep dung in fields that also support fruitings of Psilocybe semilanceata



Very small specimens growing from a displaced piece of colonized horse dung. Rodents or birds dug into the patch and scattered small pieces of dung that later fruited. It is interesting to note the reduced size of the mushrooms when growing from very small amounts of substrate.

This is a larger specimen from the main patch. Still a relatively small mushroom. The odor is very similar to Psilocybe semilanceata and the appearance reminds me of Psilocybe mexicana

I have no idea of the potency since I don't eat mushrooms.

I have observed primordia form on refrigerated agar so I do believe indoor cultivation is possible.

I need to revisit this species. It is similar to P. semilanceata but it is much more responsive to cultivation, for whatever that is worth.

Finally got back to this species after 19 years (WTF!). Still grows easy outdoors.

Hmmm, it does look identical. I'll get my sample tested and report back. I also have some fimentaria and liniformans to grow out and compare.

Nice work. I've got some P. fimetaria from the Netherlands growing side by side with the hispanica outdoors and they do look different, for whatever that is worth. Hispanica on the left, fimetaria on the right. Hispanica fruited first so it seems to do better in warmer weather and is more robust. But the fimetaria was growing on a less than ideal substrate, so I need to start again to get better data. If they are both fimetaria, the hispanica seems to be the better variety for cultivation.
