Psilocybe angulospora is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae. The species was described from Taiwan in 2015[1] and is also present in New Zealand, where it is considered introduced.[2] As a blueing member of the genus Psilocybe it contains the psychoactive compounds psilocin and psilocybin.
The fruitbodies have a small, extremely hygrophanous pale gold conical to bell-shaped cap, often with a prominent pointed central papilla, a slender whitish stipe, and fine narrowly spaced gills.
In Taiwan, the mushrooms grow wild amongst grasses on heavily manured soil and on cow dung.[1] In New Zealand they are most frequently found in the potting mix of nursery plants, in potted plants in garden centres, and outdoors in gardens and council landscaping where those plants have been planted.[2]
