What causes mushrooms to grow?

What exactly causes psilocybin cubensis to grow in the wild? Like if you have cows on your property about how long untill they start popping up and what causes this? I am in the southern hemisphere down here in Texas and I have found a bunch of them on each property that I own that has cows, Ive just always wonderd how they got there. Please detailed answers.

How can the government justify the illegalization a naturally occurring plant?

I can understand how the government can justify a substance that is made in a lab to alter ones personality, but how can they justify the legalization a plant or fungi(marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms)? A “magic” mushroom could literally grow on your lawn without your knowledge and if you pick it you are now in possession of a schedule 1 controlled substance, that is know to the National Institution on Drug Abuse as less toxic than aspirin(I am not joking). Why not legalize, tax and regulate. A stoned driver is less likely to get into an accident than a drunk driver(though both are and should be illegal), and as long as you eat psilocybin mushrooms in the serenity of your own home, who is the government to stop you. Both are less harmful than alcohol, tobacco, advil, lexapro(anti-depressant), and ritalin(ADHD medication that is vastly over prescribed to children).

I DO NOT USE ANY CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES, I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT GIVES THE GOVERNMENT THE RIGHT?
@Rightwing – you truly are a hypocrite. You can throw out bogus facts but when someone gives you real facts you just say “doubt it”. The fact that psilocybin mushrooms are safer than aspirin was determined by a government agency known as NIDA(national institution on drug abuse). idiot.

just amusing…?

An error publishing an article
Canada’s Ottawa Citizen newspaper recently printed a recipe for Chanterelle Lemon Pasta in its food section, calling for one cup of Chanterelle mushrooms. They even provided a helpful photograph so amateur mushroom hounds could find their own growing in the wild. Unfortunately, the photograph instead showed Destroying Angels, which are deadly when eaten.

You can now eat your own plate
Taipei, Taiwan (AP) – Diners tempted to lick a plate after a delicious meal can now go a step further – eat the plate.

Chen Liang-erh, 50, an amateur inventor, announced Friday that he had perfected an edible plate made from wheat grain, and that he planned to mass-produce it and other edible crockery including cups, bowls and food containers.

Chen spent six years developing the plate, which he said would retail at about 7 cents each.

Diners who don’t want to eat the items – which taste like unsalted popcorn – can boil them for a nutritious meal for animals, he said.

Chen said this can help reduce pollution caused by discarded crockery. The only disadvantage, he said, is his crockery cannot be washed and reused.
