Abstract: A note prompted by the recent account of Psilocybe fuscofulva Alick Henrici 1Psilocybe fuscofulva was reported new to Britain in the last issue (Kibby et al., 2025), found in Scotland in some quantity among sphagnum but in fact growing from old mostly buried railway sleepers.It was cautiously considered "not certain, but very likely" that these were a relic of wartime operations by members of the Canadian Forestry Corps.This report brought to mind a previous report in Field Mycology with some common features.It lends further support to the suspected Canadian connection and suggests the substrate was probably Pseudotsuga menziesii.
