Psilocybe galindoi

Psilocybe galindoi is a psychedelic mushroom in the section Mexicana, having psilocybin and psilocin as its main active compounds.

The species was named in honor of Mr. Carlos Galindo Arias and his family by Dr. Gastón Guzmán.

Psilocybe galindoi is found growing gregariously in soil at higher elevations and in tall grass in or near Pinus-Quercus (pine with oak) forests in Mexico.

The holotype location is Pie de la Cuesta, Jalisco, Mexico - a bit south of Guadalajara.

In the Western world, sclerotia of a mushroom misidentified as Psilocybe galindoi are sometimes cultivated for entheogenic or medicinal use.
