Psilocybe allenii, a species of agaric fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae, was newly discovered in 2012 and is named after John W. Allen, who provided the type collection. It is primarily found in the northwestern region of North America, spanning from British Columbia, Canada to Los Angeles, California, typically within 10 miles (16 km) of the Pacific coast.
These mushrooms grow on decaying wood, particularly wood chips commonly used in garden landscaping. The caps of the mushrooms range in color from brown to buff, are broadly convex to flattened, and can reach a diameter of up to 9 cm (3.5 in). The white stipes are up to 9 cm (3.5 in) long and 0.7 cm (0.3 in) thick. As a bluing species within the Psilocybe genus, P. allenii contains psychoactive compounds such as psilocin and psilocybin, making it a recreational choice for its hallucinogenic properties. It is closely related to Psilocybe cyanescens, differing macroscopically by the absence of a wavy cap margin.
