Harmful effects of introduced species

Is there any information I can get on any negative effects a outdoor bed could have on introducing a invasive species into a environment could have? Would rather not do any harm if I can. Not sure if this was the right forum for this question.

Yeah pretty sure this isn’t advanced but as far as an outdoor bed goes if they could survive in your climate more then likely they would be already part of your areas natural habitat.

Making your own beds is also very far from introducing a competitor species into the eco system.. The mycelium won't even spread beyond the bed for the most part, if you're concerned then lay plastic to avoid mycelium from exiting the bed and harvest prior to spore release.
Either way I can't believe it's even an issue.

How easy, don't know but certainly possible. Spp might come their own but people have introduced them probably too. Depends the sp. how problematic it is I guess. Remembering for example new? Amanita spp. in Tanzania that came with tree plantations. Locals then eat them and got sick. Also I can imagine that some agressive spp. like honey mushrooms can easily spread if they get an opportunity.. SRA spread a bit in my garden but now I haven't seen them anymore.
edit: SRA I introduced into my garden in 2004. Not original sp. here in Finland. Last seen in 2015 when I took the last spore prints that I have. And it was just one bed and a bush or two that I put some bags of substrate plus some new stuff to chew on. Didn't feed them really after the begining, some old stuff is though added under those bushes every now and then, years apart. They have popped time to time next to my potato field and at the base of some juniper poles that I used for some beans. The orig. bed was quite far away, also the bushes. Maybe they are still there.. IDK.

I think that's awesome that you're thinking about that...if only the ppl that planted things like Japanese barberry had the consideration you do..
That being said, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, psilocybes are primary decomposers and are not parasitic like honey mushrooms(and others but that's what comes to mind). So they pretty much eat only dead shit that's already on the ground and won't jump to a living organism. How they may interact with other fungi I can't speak to, but every plant I've done an outdoor bed near seems to thrive.
