Psilocybe cubensis is the most common species of psychedelic mushrooms found in the southern region of Georgia, including South Georgia. These mushrooms typically grow in cow pastures and grassy areas after periods of rain. It is important to note that cultivating or consuming psychedelic mushrooms is illegal in many places, so caution must be taken.
In Pennsylvania, the most notable psychedelic mushroom is Psilocybe cubensis, although it is not as commonly found as in warmer regions. Other species, such as Psilocybe caerulescens and Psilocybe semilanceata (commonly known as liberty caps), may also grow in the area, typically in grassy or damp environments. Foraging for wild mushrooms can be risky, as many species are toxic; therefore, proper identification and knowledge are essential. Always consult with a local mycologist or expert before consuming any wild mushrooms.
In Alabama, you can find a variety of mushrooms such as morel mushrooms, chanterelles, oyster mushrooms, and chicken of the woods. It is important to note that when foraging for mushrooms, it is critical to be knowledgeable about the specific species you are looking for to avoid toxic mushrooms.
Some common mushrooms found in grasslands include fairy ring mushrooms, meadow mushrooms, and field blewits. These mushrooms typically grow in open grassy areas where there is plenty of sunlight and moisture. It is important to properly identify wild mushrooms before consuming them as some can be toxic.

Psilocybe cubensis, also known as magic mushrooms, are commonly found growing on horse dung in lower Wisconsin. These mushrooms contain the psychedelic compound psilocybin, which can cause hallucinogenic effects when ingested. It is important to note that the possession and consumption of magic mushrooms are illegal in most places.

Some mushrooms grow towards the light.
Mushrooms are not "psycho-active" they do not have a brain nor a central nervous system like many animals do. Mushrooms are fungi, not animals.

There are many types of mushrooms so location alone can not determine what kind of mushroom it is. Some types of mushrooms in the same family can look alike and live in the same conditions but one can be harmless and the other terribly poisonous.... Psilocybe Cubensis and Panaeolus subbalteatus are in general the two species that appear in the USA on cow patties. There are many mushrooms that can grow on compost substrates though, for instance portebellos. In general, unless you are a mycologist who specializes in the field study of fungus, dont eat a mushroom you arent absolutely sure it is, what it is. There are many mushrooms that look like psilocybin mushrooms that are actually deadly. In general the rule of thumb when it comes to psychoactive mushrooms is to take a spore print of the mushroom. Dark purple spore prints is a good sign you are one step closer to identifying a psychedelic mushroom. White spore prints are big no nos as well.
Mushrooms grow above and below ground and on trees etc. Most of the cultivated edible mushrooms grow above ground; some on trees or logs. Truffles grow underground.
What kind of mushrooms ?
It depends on what kind. Psilocybin mushrooms are usually small, the largest probably being Psilocybe cubensis. Amanita muscaria and pantherina can get much larger with caps getting as large as a small dinner plate.
