Ps. Subtropicalis – Semperviva Spore Print

A Rare & Historic Mycological Treasure

Psilocybe subtropicalis, also known as Psilocybe semperviva, is a unique and lesser-known species with a rich history and distinct ecology. First described in 1958 by Roger Heim and Gordon Wasson, this species later received reclassification in 1995 by Gastón Guzmán as part of his research into the Psilocybe genus.

Where Does Psilocybe Subtropicalis Grow?

This elusive species thrives in humid subtropical regions, favoring grasslands, clay-rich soils, and coffee-growing areas where organic material supports its development. It appears naturally in Mexico, particularly in Puebla, Oaxaca, and Hidalgo. It has also been found in Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Argentina. Typically, it fruits between June and August, aligning with the rainy seasons of its native environments.

What Makes Psilocybe Subtropicalis Unique?

• A Species with History – First classified as Psilocybe semperviva, meaning forever alive, this mushroom has intrigued researchers for decades.
• Distinct Appearance – The gills range from medium to large, forming patterns that allow for active spore production and release.
• Microscopy Features – Spores appear deep purple and measure 7 x 12 micrometers, making them ideal for microscopic study.
• A Rare Find – Despite its historical mentions, this species remains less studied, and its original type collection has yet to receive full scientific research.
