Ps. zapotecorum was among the seven varieties of "magicmushroom" found by Wasson in Mexico in 1955. ""Rediscovered" and named by French mycologist Roger Heim, this mushroom is one of the shaman's favorites, typically yielding up to ca. .85% psilocybin and up to ca. .25% psilocin. Its preferred habitat is muddy soils and marshy areas; also rich, dark soils of deciduous forests where it can be found fruiting throughout summer in clusters or groups Found throughout much of the subtropical regions of Mexico, Central America, and South America, this noble species was named for the Zapotecs -- genius architects, astronomers, and best known for constructing the pyramids at Monte Alban, Oaxaca, Mexico.
