Which of them were/are consumed the most, which of them are dangerous and why. Where in the world do the most “magic mushrooms” grow and which ones are usually used for consumption?

Friends of mine collected them from cow dung when we were having a walk - simply walked into green meadows when the cows where at the other end (very nosy and very heavy animals, can kill you easily) and collected some little shroom into a little bag. They were very satisfied with their finds.
Never tried what they found but found it funny.
Cows are very sweet and curious animals that are usually quite docile. Don’t fuck with the bull or even be near him if you can avoid it but I’ve been around cows my whole life and the most I’ve gotten is headbutted for food
On that note, there are some theories that magic mushrooms evolved to calm cows (or other grazing animals) down. Just like how people like to stare at complex geometric patterns cows may do the same. It’s a theory called “fixation”. Get a cow high and it is likely to stay in the same spot starting at psychedelic patterns for a bit. This may increase the chances for a cow to pick up and spread spores to a new location.
It’s kind of a comical theory, but it makes a ton of sense. Also, I don’t think it’s been tested so take it with a grain of salt.
