> Human consumption of a naturally occurring mushroom (food) that happens to contain psilocybin is absolutely a natural occurrence

Same could be said about death cap mushrooms. Something being natural or even being occasionally ingested doesn't make it any better. Natural, occasionally ingested organisms can kill you on the spot.

Except psilocybin-containing mushrooms are edible, death caps are not.

Edible just means it doesn't kill you immediately at doses you can fit in your stomach.
