Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Every time I see this meme or versions of it I die a thousand times. Mushrooms are the penises of fungus who jizz peacefully in the wind. They WANT to be eaten. Spores travel far.
Psilocybin, if anything, is probably adapted to be attractive to other animals.

Moreover, eating the mushroom isn’t even hurting the original organism. It’s pretty vestigial once the spores have found a way to get out.
