Abstract

The research on Psylocybe species distribution along the Mediterranean region, has led to new observations regarding two species of psilocybin mushrooms, with high medicinal potential, found along the Apennine mountains of central and southern Italy: Psilocybe serbica Moser & Horak and Psilocybe semilanceata (Fr.) P. Kumm. New specimen collections, with ecological observations, from Italy as well as from Spain, France, Albania, and Macedonia are reported here, extending the geographical distribution limits of these specie along the Mediterranean.
