Psilocybe baeocystis

Common Names
"Baeos"
"Knobby Tops"

Habitat
Found on decaying conifer mulch, in wood chips, or in lawns with high lignin content. Occasionally growing from fallen seed cones of Douglas fir. Found in the fall to early winter and rarely in the spring. (I once found it as late as June 20.) First reported from Oregon, common in Washington, British Columbia, and elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
