Recent discoveries of psilocybe species in Czech Republic and their presence around Brno

This research paper is divided into two general parts. The first part presents a review of the history of the mushrooms belonging to the genus Psilocybe in the world. There I show the ancient and modern history, and the part of the history focused in the Czech Republic, as well as the actual clinic uses of psilocybin. The second section describes the holotypes of Psilocybe species present in the Czech Republic, and the species which I have found in my field work around Brno. I have took macroscopic and microscopic measures to the mushrooms which I found in order to see if any of the species was Psilocybe moravica, a species which have not yet found around Brno.Simón Pérez, JJ.
