Two new bluing species of Psilocybe from Puerto Rico

Abstract

Psilocybe guilartensis (Sect. Brunneocystidiatae) and P. portoricensis (Sect. Cordisporae) are described as new species from the central mountain region of Puerto Rico. Previously only P. cubensis and P. subcubensis were known from the island. The new species are from similar subtropical humid mountainous zone covered by a mesophytic forest, where most hallucinogenic species of Psilocybe are distributed in tropical America.
