The history of mankind began in the ancient garden, where humans were placed, in the midst of the garden, to dress and to keep it. There they lived a harmonious lifestyle, filled with adventure and appreciation for all life-forms. Fungi were just one of those wonderous life-forms we were designed to tend and learn from.
Anyway, around the edges of the garden were two great rivers which flowed, on this side and that, and in the lands downstream, from whence the rivers were parted, there was good gold, bdellium, and the onyx stone to adorn joyous occasions, like marriage, when a man takes a wife and declares it, and they become unified in body.
It is a difficult task to keep a wife, therefore the most productive men don’t take them, but Adam did, and he soon found out that unity with the woman was a delight of very limited supply, the seasons of which are much more brief than he had hoped; seasons which are ordained as rewards for making progress in the garden and are placed in intervals which mustn’t be dissolved, even in the mind, lest the garden be neglected, and the task of keeping it get beyond their control. For this, a strict penalty was imposed upon him, that he should not indulge himself to excess and thus neglect his duties of gathering and spreading and guiding the production of creation.
This penalty was a punnishment designed to confound their efforts to enjoy eachother whenever work was interrupted by a frenzy of romance. It quite stopped them from continuing whenever that romance reached its most pleasurable season. This season of love, cut short by a divine decree was God’s way of keeping both of them on the path of life, that they wouldn’t be given over to greed and excess, and though it could not kill initially, when ignored in this generation, its caution influence gives way to a reprobate mind and a detour from the path of life and peace with God which guides one to everlasting habitions, which missed opportunities and subsequent failure to perform one's duties, when not properly recovered from, result in a position out of syncronization with the seasons God has ordained for us to live through and the progressive dedication to a violent pathway whereby the whole body is slated for cosmic disposal, never to be reclaimed, for there is a task at hand and those who neglect it shall be taken away.
It is our job to continue the task of dressing and keeping the garden, albeit, spiritually; the derivitive of that task is to do the will of God. There are many fruits to sustain us in this task, like as there were many fruits to sustain him, but just as he was instructed to be nourished by some fruits and not others, we must also be careful not to imbibe that which is forbidden, for Emmanuel's flesh is meat, indeed, and his blood is drink, indeed, and he that is sustained thereby shall have life, but he that eateth himself shall become lonely and the thorns of this generation shall overtake his garden in an instant. Such destinies are ever spilling into the pit of destruction, and when all their bodies are heaped one upon another, consuming away in their hatred one for another, their bridge will be burnt, and the righteous will move on to another planet. The righteous, having completed their work and enjoyed the fruits of their labor in a seasonable manner, rather than an unseasonable one.
Adultery is forbidden, but mushrooms are not. There are many good qualities about mushrooms which can aid us in the task of keeping the garden, that's why they need to be legal, but no, they're not God or gods.

Re: the OP Kmacmo
. No individual praying mantis thought: 'in a million years I want to evolve to look like an orchid, so I can catch bugs, that like orchids'. No individual primate thought 'in a few million years I want to evolve to be a human so I can drop an A-Bomb on Japan'.
. The notion of agency, species, and evolution are all mixed up here. Too many 'schrooms & not enough biology, if one desires to invent explanatory theories that involve biology, species, and evolution, that are any more than fantastic fiction.
