 Psilo-hunting in northeastern TN

Im brand new to this forum, the only forum I've ever used before WAS Overgrow.com. Forgive me if I break a 'rule' in this post.
I've been hunting psilocybe around my house for years now. I look in the woodlands behind my house, the cow pastures in front of my house, and everywhere in between. I basically live in the appalachian foothills. I know my best bet is Psilocybe caerulipes, but I was wondering what other 'active' mushrooms I can find in my
area. I know the species I'm supposed to find in TN but this isnt really TN, I'm 30 min away from VA & NC, and an hour form KY.
I have some questions that have been bugging me for some years:
1) Is it possible to find amanita muscaria in the appalachian mountains of NC &/or TN?
2) Can I find P. caerulipes in the foothills/woodlands around my house or must I venture up into the actual mountains?
3) Has anybody ever found, heard of finding, or read about finding P. weilii north of chattanooga? Why are they restricted to atlanta region? why cant they climb up here to n.e.TN?
4) I keep finding this same mushroom in month old cow poo for some years now the only matches i can come up with on the net are shrooms that arent supposed to occur in TN. Is it possible a gulf coast copelandia species made it up here by accidentally spreading its spores?
You'll think im crazy but of everything ive read about c. cyanescens, my mystery shroom 'looks' like c. cyan. and even the sporeprint is jet black. Every detail seems to match, EXCEPT that I found it in northeastern TN, not the gulf coast or hawai'i

that list describes psylocibe containing species. I dont think A. Muscaria shows up there.

thanx, Ive read the 'which shrooms in my area' list many times, but after years of frustration thinking i can find p. cubensis around here i done more research, right here on shroomery, p. cubensis only occurs in western TN, too mountainous my way to find cubes.

well send some spores this way then.
PS-when I do find p. caerulipes, I'll be sure to make PLENTY of spore prints, i'll send them to whoever wants them in hopes of making this species as common as cubes, not the potent, rare psilo that the entire east coast is looking for
