    O. K. Miller 8951, 13 Jul 1971

  • Location

    United States of America. Montana. Flathead National Forest.

  • Habitat

    On moss.

  • Description

    Approximately between 8 Jul 1965 through 29 Jun 1976, Dr. Miller applied the epithet "monticola" to specimens that perhaps should have been labeled as "Psilocybe montana," if not "Psathyrella monticola." Other specimens in the period are labeled as "Psilocybe montana." Specimen notes for collections under either name give moss as the substrate, which is confirmed for Psilocybe montana. Its common name is "mountain moss Psilocybe." Substrate for holotype of Psathyrella monticola is "wet ground in burn area." Beginning with a collection on 9 Jul 1982, Dr. Miller used "P. montana" more consistently for specimens found in moss.
