ceres (in 1891) and Leratiomyces ceres (in 2008). Similar species Similar species include L. squamosus, Agrocybe putaminum, Gymnopilus sapineus, Psathyrella gracilis, Stropharia squamosa, S. thrausta, and Tubaria furfuracea. In psilocybin mushroom hunting communities in Australia and New Zealand, L. ceres (or "Larrys" as commonly nicknamed) are scorned as lookalikes and imposters of Psilocybe species on wood chip. Prolific growth in the same habitats and a similar appearance from afar can give false hope of a large bounty, but on closer inspection the species are not particularly alike.
