I was hoping that someone having more knowledge on the subject would
respond.  I have several papers on psilocybe species in the USA at
my office and will try to remember to bring them home to provide a
better response.

Here in the southeastern U.S.A. I believe that it is Psilocybe
cubensis [Stropharia cubensis] that is most commonly found and taken
as a hallucinogen.  I know that it grows all along the warmer
coastal states from Florida to Texas.  I have observed it on several
occasions in eastern Texas emerging is association with cow dung in
cool weather.
