Aren't psylocybin mushrooms (ie. magic mushrooms) considered schedule I in the US as well? You can find those in most forests.

  > You can find those in most forests. Sure, but the ones that grow in forests are relatively uncommon and pretty hard to find. Whereas Amanita muscaria are so easy to find that it's almost impossible not to find them on a regular basis by accident, even if you're not looking for them.

    Note, there are false positives, e.g. amanita pantheris, that foragers should be aware of.

      For sure. They mostly grow in groups though, e.g. five or ten within a few feet, so at least you usually have enough ones in good condition and in various states of their lifecycle to make identifying them relatively straightforward.
