Also, while Gymnopilus junonius probably does contain psilocin, I wouldn't really consider it to be a psilocybin mushroom. My understanding is that its effects as a nicotinic acetylcholine inhibitor are more prominent, at least from what I've heard. (As someone without a strong chemistry background, I'm less inclined to be an early adopter of something labeled "unknown neurotoxin.")

First things I noticed as well.
Many of these aren’t hallucinogens, they are deliriants.

Sigh.
Maybe from a categorization perspective, but not in terms of how hallucinogen is commonly used.
