Irrespective on ones position on the concept of 'forbidden fruit' as it relates to religion it is unlikely to be a mushroom because in both the Judeo-Christian and Islamic perspectives, the 'forbidden fruit' was borne by, and of a tree.
I would contend that the forbidden fruit is specifically "language". The way I look at it, Eden was this right-brain oriented wholesome, blissful paradise, but upon acquiring language by eating from the tree of knowledge, they gained the tools to distinguish, describe and label which was their fall from Eden. I don't think people were ever meant to think there was an Adam and Eve, but rather to see the symbolism in their own lives. I believe that eating from the fruit of knowledge describes when we are all right brain oriented babies without language, living in highly innocent, emotional wholesome states, but then they eat the forbidden fruit: they begin to learn language which completely changes everything and creates the beginning of the descent into the material world where objects and their qualities can be isolated and identified, and the child looses touch with its original connection to the divine. If anything, I think the mushroom is somewhat the "anti-forbidden fruit" as it can allow you to return to those similar "Eden-esque" states you experienced as a child.

Second...Mushrooms are spiritually and biologically safe to take. They've even been scientifically proven to have positive benefits on both physical and mental health. Time to eat them in a good setting with a good mind set I would say! Also wherever you venture on the mushrooms bring fruit, water, and cannabis.
hate to nitpick, but scripturally it was a fig. and as some have mentioned there is a strong connection between it and the amanitabenzyme said:the forbidden fruit was an apple, which had a bite taken out of it.
and steve jobs was the devil.
