Extract from Wikipedia article: Deconica inquilina is a species of mushroom in the Strophariaceae family. Formerly a member of the genus Psilocybe (well known for its psilocybin containing members), this species belonged to the non-blueing (non-hallucinogenic) clade and was consequently moved to Deconica in 2009.
Deconica inquilina is a species of psilocybin mushroom that grows on dung, particularly horse and cow manure. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found to fruit from July to October, often in areas with rich soil and abundant organic matter. In north-western Russia, the fungus is relatively common, typically growing in moist environments with mild temperatures. Its cap is 1-3 cm in diameter, bell-shaped to conic, and reddish-brown to brown, while its stem is slender and 2-5 cm long. The species contains psychoactive compounds, including psilocybin and psilocin.
