Agreed. Adding to this: GP characterized psilocybin's effects as "deliriant". This word has a specific meaning, and psilocybin doesn't fit -- it's a psychedelic, not a deliriant. There are some mushrooms that produce deliriants (e.g. Amanita muscaria / muscimol), but these are not typically consumed in the same context as psilocybin mushrooms.
