Psilocybe cubensis is a species with hallucinogenic properties traditionally used by various native communities, but more recently, it has been used for recreational purposes, despite its illegality. This is a coprophilous species bearing fruits on the cow dung in the grasslands of tropical and subtropical areas of America, Asia and Oceania. In the present study, P. cubensis is recorded for the first time in the highland grasslands of Ecuador. In addition, a detailed description (macro and microscopical) is provided and differences with similar species are discussed.Palabras Clave
