This is known as a Magic Mushroom
It has shown limited promise medically
Possession is illegal in the state of Florida
But it could possibly help with depression and PSTD.

(Note: As with all mushrooms, you cannot positively identify a mushroom by a photograph. You must examine the  spore and other key features. Many mushrooms look similar - some are highly poisonous. NEVER pick and eat a wild mushroom based solely on a photograph.)

Location: Found on private land growing wild.
