Extract from Wikipedia article: Panaeolus foenisecii, commonly called the mower's mushroom, haymaker or brown hay mushroom, is a very common and widely distributed little brown mushroom often found on lawns. In 1963 Tyler and Smith found that this mushroom contains serotonin, 5-HTP and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid. In many field guides it is erroneously listed as psychoactive, however the mushroom does not produce any hallucingenic effects.
Panaeolina foenisecii is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Hymenogastraceae. It is commonly found in temperate regions, including north-western Russia. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, Panaeolina foenisecii typically grows on grassy areas, meadows, and fields, often in association with various species of grasses and other herbaceous plants. Fruitings usually occur from late summer to early autumn, with the fungus producing small to medium-sized bell-shaped caps that are brown to greyish-brown in color. The species is considered widespread and relatively common in the region, with records of its presence dating back to the late 19th century.
