Description
The mountain moss psilocybe once belonged to the genus Psilocybe, but molecular studies revealed it doesn't contain psilocybin, so the species is moved to the genus Deconica. It belongs to the so-called "little brown mushroom" group and has many inedible or poisonous lookalikes, so it should be avoided.
