Which is the the more appropriate species name is it Psilocybe caerulescens or Psilocybe weilii or are either names appropriate?

They are synonymous - Psilocybe weilii was described by Paul Stamets in 1996 due to it having pleurocystidia - however the type collection of Psilocybe caerulescens also has pleurocystidia, it just didn't make it into the description.  Psilocybe caerulescens was described from Montgomery, Alabama in 1923 so the older name takes precedence.

If you are going to name a new mushroom very similar to an existing mushroom based on microscopic differences, it is a really good idea to check the type collection to make sure that you aren't just naming the same thing again.

This has happened many times in Psilocybe - for example Psilocybe capitulata was named from Japan, said to be like a cubensis with pileocystidia - however all cubensis has pileocystidia, it just wasn't written in the description.
