First I learned about this from the Hamilton Morris podcast on YouTube.

You can find the paper describing the find here for free: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00275514.2024.2363137

i love me a good secotioid (p. maluti),

panaeolopsis comes to mind... and that one desert agaricus sp.

and i know i'm just shooting from the hip and this is speculation hinging on b.s., but that first one (p. ingeli) reminds me of panaeolus with the gills, it looks like a three way hybrid of a psilocybe/ deconica/ panaeolus... morphologically speaking, to my rusty eyes

Yes, but all are indigenous people. No westerners have tripped on it nor written any trip reports. Perhaps we can convince the author of this paper to do that and send it to Erowid.
