Hrre is a whole booklet I wrote of the mushroom epithets used around the world and the modern Mazatec and other tribal names, worlwide native names and contemporary sub-culture epithets used by those in a ludible manner.

There is also here somewhere a short list of those names and at Lycaeum and I think maybe at erowid.
But go ahead. you can always add to my work.
Here are a few names from around the world followed by the common nicknames used by people in our field of endeavor.

Excerpt from "Ancient Shamanic Mushroom Names of Mesoamerica and Other Regions of the World, By John W. Allen, 1998.
DISCUSSION
The most popular and sought after variety of the more than 2 dozen species of sacred mushrooms used in traditional healing and curing ceremonies in Oaxaca, M?xico is Psilocybe mexicana Heim. It is the preferred species among Mazatec shamans, curanderos, sabias, and healers (male and female). The Chinantecs prefer Psilocybe hoogshagenii (Rubel et Krejci 1976) and the Mixes prefer three different species (Psilocybe cordispora, Psilocybe hoogshagenii, and Psilocybe mexicana).
In villages in and around the ancient ruins of Palenque, Psilocybe cubensis is employed ceremoniously by some shamans and healers. There it is referred to locally as the "San Isidro" mushroom (named after the patron saint of agriculture). Because Psilocybe cubensis and/or P. subcubensis are associated with manure, many local shamanic healers (including the late Mar?a Sabina) do not use these latter two mentioned species and consider them to be inferior.
Entheogenic mushroom use also occurs outside of Mesoamerica. Published research and recreational users of psilocybian fungi have also provided history with many endearing epithets used to describe the many various species of local entheogenic mushrooms; including some ancient traditional terms. Some of the epithets listed below have only recently been known of during the last thirty to forty years while the Chinese and Japanese epithets were recorded more than two millennia ago. These include mushrooms known of in the following countries:

In America, as elsewhere throughout the world, entheogenic mushrooms are used ludibly by certain members of society as a tool of recreation and by some as a means of religious enlightment. Among such users the entheogenic mushrooms are commonly referred to as "magic mushrooms" and/or "shrooms" (Ott, 1976, 1978, 1993; Singer, 1978).
Stafford (1982 [1992]) noted that the epithet "magic mushroom" was invented and first brought to the attention of the public by a Life magazine editor (see Wasson, 1957) who inserted this term against the wishes of R. Gordon Wasson, into the title of Wasson' Life Magazine feature contribution. Wasson (1980) had never appreciated the implication and insertion of the word "magic" and had indicated that he preferred the word "wondrous, and deplored the now popular and widespread use of the word "magic" and held reservations about its use.
Popular names given to magic mushrooms by those who consume them for ludible purposes are listed in table 3.
TABLE 3. ENGLISH LANGUAGE EPITHETS
Psilocybe cubensis (gold caps, golden tops, cubes, purple rings).
Psilocybe semilanceata (liberty caps, liberty bells, pixie caps, blue legs).
Psilocybe stuntzii (blue ringers, Washington blue veils, Stuntzii's blue legs).
Psilocybe pelliculosa (elves caps, elves stools, woodland caps).
Psilocybe cyanescens (red saucers, wavy caps).
Psilocybe baeocystis (blue bells, blue fuckers).
Panaeolus subbalteatus (red caps, subs).
Copelandia spp. (blue meanies, cone heads, gold caps, dimple tops, witch's tits), (Allen, 1982, 1997; Gartz, 1995; Lincoff and Mitchell, 1977; Stevens & Gee, 1977; Menzer, 1978; Stamets, 1978; Lincoff, 1983; Pollock, 1974; Ott, 1993; Weil, 1977, 1980).
In regards to the suspected use and entheogenicity of Panaeolus spp., especially Panaeolus campanulatus var. sphrinctrinus, a species Shultes first suggested to be the teonan?catl mushroom which Sahag?n recorded as being used by Aztec priests and their followers prior to, during, and after the conquest, Guzm?n (pers. commun., 8-31-94) still maintains that this species is not used by Mexican Indians (Schultes, 1939, 1940; Sahag?n, 1956. See Ethnomycological Journals Sacred Mushroom Stuidies Volume VII by John W. Allen for more data on the Panaeolus).
