   Round here we get the liberty caps (P. semilanceata) which grow in lawns, or   
   more frequently the grassy tufts in forest tracks. Very widely known by even   
   non mushroom obssessed people I have talked to. Come to think of it I don't   
   remember seeing any for a while. It's like many mushrooms- some years are   
   good for them and some years are bad. We also get Gymnopilus in pinewoods   
   (G. penetrans??). They do have a bitter taste but not sure about any   
   psychoactive content.
