'''Panaeolus tropicalis''' is a potent and [[hallucinogenic]] [[mushroom]] which contains [[psilocybin]].
It is also known as ''Copelandia tropicalis''.
== Description ==
The cap is less than 20 mm across, with a convex shape and an incurved margin when young. It is smooth and grey, often with a brown center and margin. The gills are [[wikt:adnexed|adnexed]] and grey, with blackish spots. The stem is 5-12 cm tall, 2.5 mm thick, hollow, and slightly swollen at the base. The spores are dark violet black, [[ellipsoid]], measuring 11 x 8 micrometres. The entire mushroom bruises blue where it is handled.
It can be differentiated from ''Panaeolus cyanescens'' by microscopic characteristics.
== Habitat and distribution ==
''Panaeolus tropicalis'' is mushroom that grows on dung. It has been found in Hawaii, Cambodia, Mexico, Tanzania, the Philippines, the Bononi Islands, Florida, and Japan.
