I wouldn't call the effects of psilocybin food poisoning. Just because there are chemical reactions that cause extraordinary effects when psilocybin is ingested, doesn't mean you were poisoned.

Wouldn't that make all drugs poison by that definition?

I don't think that there is any evidence of magic mushrooms being poisonous, and especially not toxic. The effects you feel from mushrooms are strictly from psilocybin/psilocin and a couple other compounds in mushrooms.
Its amazing how much misinformation people are subjected to and take as truth.

The only difference between a poison, and medicine is dosage.

But same thing, by that definition, everything is a poison, too much water can kill you. But I personally wouldn't call water a poison.
It's not that I'm arguing, but adding the word poison to something, especially drugs, brings along a negative stigma with it, even if it can be beneficial like mushrooms, granted though, mushrooms along with everything else can be destructive if not used appropriately.

“All things are poisons, and there is nothing that is harmless; the dose alone decides that something is a poison.” Paracelsus (1493–1541)
Toxic vs Poisonous http://www.differencebetween.net/language/difference-between-toxin-and-poison/
-----------------------------
Another interesting bit I found.
"""""""""""""""""" DR DAVID STEVENSON We used to think that every compound in existence was either good or bad. There were toxins, there were nutrients. Toxins were bad, nutrients were good. What we now know is that there is really nothing that is all good or all bad – it’s all in the dose. There is a new theory of how toxins work called hormesis, which says that a toxin is a compound which is bad for you in excess but may well often be good for you in very small quantities, because it may well stimulate some defensive mechanism in the cells, which not only protects you from that toxin but maybe a lot of other ones. One very good example is actually the polyphenols, because the plants actually don’t make them for our benefit, they make them to be mildly toxic and to make us go away and eat something else.
It has been found from animal studies that, if you feed animals very large amounts of polyphenols – far more than you could possibly get by eating foods – then there are toxic effects. But we also know that small amounts are very beneficial, so basically hormesis says that, if you have the right amount of something, then it’s good for you.
You could probably also apply that to free radicals, whereas large amounts of free radicals will cause all sorts of damage to your cells whereas small amounts are necessary for signalling. """""""""""""""""""""
