From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deconica inquilina is a species of mushroom in the family Strophariaceae. Formerly a member of the genus Psilocybe (well known for its psilocybin containing members), this species belonged to the non-blueing (non-hallucinogenic) clade[1] and was consequently moved to Deconica in 2009.[2]
