Deconica semiinconspicua is a mushroom native to the state of Washington in the United States. The mushroom is small, rare, difficult to see and, according to Guzmán and Trappe (2005), stains blue where damaged.[2] However, Ramírez-Cruz et al. (2012) state that it is "without a really observable bluing reaction".[1] It was described as a psychoactive species of Psilocybe in section Semilanceatae, but Ramírez-Cruz et al. (2012) found that its macroscopic and microscopic morphological features and its DNA sequence, which Ramírez-Cruz et al. did not publish, were a better match for Deconica.[1] Ramírez-Cruz et al. (2012) also stated that it is very similar to Deconica montana.[1] It can be mistaken for Psilocybe silvatica and can be distinguished by its more conic cap, narrower spores and narrower cheilocystidia.[2]
This mushroom is only known from the type locality where it was found on July 22, 1987, at Glacier Peak Wilderness Area in Wentachee National Forest, Washington, USA.[2]
