Psilocybe fuscofulva is a species of mushroom in that grows on Sphagnum moss and rarely decaying wood in peat bogs in North America and Europe. It, alongside Psilocybe fimetaria , are the only species of Psilocybe that have been found with no psilocybin or psilocin content. [1] [2] The phylogenetic placement [1] indicates its close relationship to Psilocybe silvatica and Psilocybe semilanceata . It was previously most commonly known as Psilocybe atrobrunnea but the holotype does not exist and the neotype of this species was lost, so Psilocybe fuscofulva, which was previously regarded as a synonym but has a holotype, was resurrected to replace it. [1]
It is considered inedible. [3]
