Abstract: Eight species of Psilocybe are reported from New Zealand: P. argentina, P. aucklandii, P. coprophila, P. makarorae sp. nov., P. novae‐zelandiae, P. semilanceata, P. subaeruginosa , and P. subcoprophila . Of these, P. aucklandii, P. makarorae, P. subaeruginosa , and P. semilanceata stain blue‐green with damage, a reaction characteristic of Psilocybe species with hallucinogenic properties. Descriptions and illustrations of all species are provided, with notes on their ecology and distribution, and a key for their identification.
