I dunno... it's hard to find them now. Wild picking was my main source from around '97 to 2001, then after that cow farmers either got savvy, or the popular peripheral feed/licks cow farmers give cows to prevent bacterial growth in their stomachs changed around that time and apparently affected the favorable conditions in a cow's stomach. You can even go to the ultimate sticks in Louisiana and find bare fields, which were once daily mushroom heavens.
Apart from cow fields, I don't know where you can find them just naturally growing, as the conditions for them to develop to the fruiting stage needs to happen in a pretty specific environment and be totally sterile.
