[boomer2]

Okay,

I bring joy to the citizens of the State of New Mexico and I am proud to post the information of this new species which belongs to the section Stuntzii of the genus Psilocybe.

Psilocybe mescaleroensis.

Studied materials: NEW MEXICO, Mescalero Range, Sierra Blanca, Lincoln County, near town Mescalero.

(Trivia)
Lincoln County is where Pat Garrett Shot and killed Billy the Kid.

And its my birthday so this is a treat for all of you who live in New Mexico. Fruits abundantly from summer to autumn, known only from the type locality.

A similar species, Psilocybe meridionalis, also related to this and P. Stuntzii i has now also been reported from Jalisco, Mexico.

Well I cannot get the image to post.
