det nordvestlige Stillehav
Psilocybe semilanceata
Svampen har også en udbredt udbredelse i Nordamerika. I Canada er den blevet indsamlet i British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Ontario og Quebec. I USA er den mest udbredt i det nordvestlige Stillehavsområde vest for Cascade-bjergene, hvor den bærer mange frugter om efteråret og den tidlige vinter; det er også blevet rapporteret, at den sjældent bærer frugter i forårsmånederne. Charles Horton Peck rapporterede, at svampen forekommer i New York i begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede, og derfor har meget litteratur, der er udgivet siden da, rapporteret, at arten forekommer i det østlige USA. Gaston Guzman undersøgte senere Pecks herbariums eksemplar og konkluderede i sin omfattende monografi om Psilocybe fra 1983, at Peck havde fejlidentificeret den med den art, der nu er kendt som Panaeolina foenisecii. P. semilanceata er langt mindre almindelig i Sydamerika, hvor den er blevet registreret i Chile. Den er også kendt i Australien (hvor den måske er en indslæbt art) og New Zealand, hvor den vokser i græsmarker i høj højde. I 2000 blev den rapporteret fra Golaghat i den indiske stat Assam.
Pacific Northwest
Psilocybe semilanceata
The mushroom also has a widespread distribution in North America. In Canada it has been collected from British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Ontario and Quebec. In the United States, it is most common in the Pacific Northwest, west of the Cascade Mountains, where it fruits abundantly in autumn and early winter; fruiting has also been reported to occur infrequently during spring months. Charles Horton Peck reported the mushroom to occur in New York in the early 20th century, and consequently, much literature published since then has reported the species to be present in the eastern United States. Gaston Guzman later examined Peck's herbarium specimen, and in his comprehensive 1983 monograph on Psilocybe, concluded that Peck had misidentified it with the species now known as Panaeolina foenisecii. P. semilanceata is much less common in South America, where it has been recorded in Chile. It is also known in Australia (where it may be an introduced species) and New Zealand, where it grows in high-altitude grasslands. In 2000, it was reported from Golaghat, in the Indian state of Assam.
