Psilocybe subcubensis is an entheogenic species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae.[1] The mushroom contains the chemical compounds psilocybin and psilocin. Psilocybe subcubensis was first described by Mexican mycologist Gaston Guzman. It is the pantropical sister species of Psilocybe cubensis.[2] It is macroscopically identical to P. cubensis but has smaller spores.[3]
