Let's add a Poison Mushroom!
Mushrooms are a great addition to Minecraft, and foraging mushrooms in real life can be fun ... if you know what you're doing! Mushrooms can be poisonous and you shouldn't eat wild mushrooms unless you're trained in identifying them. Minecraft should include this!
I propose a couple fungi additions:
1) Purple Mushroom that is either safe or unsafe to eat, and with a Giant version. (This is to give folks a fun new block to build with)
2) Poison varieties of all three mushrooms! The items and blocks look eerily similar to the brown, red, and purple mushrooms. They even have the same item and block names! But, a trained eye looking closely can see that they're not the same! The red mushroom block has a ring of faint dots on the underside, the brown mushroom item has a dark under-cap, the purple mushroom has a blue tint.
Look out! If you aren't paying attention and eat these mushrooms in a stew or alone ... it'll lead to poison and hallucination ... might even kill you if you aren't careful!
A fun extra or two:
Have Endermen really enjoy purple mushrooms. They steal them! And when you visit the End you find them dotted around the landscape. Did the purple mushrooms come from the overworld? Or did the Endermen bring them from the End to gift us with their aura? No one knows!
Another idea is to have edible purple mushrooms be rarer than poison purple mushrooms, and when you find the edible ones they provide a momentary boost to strength (or some other effect).
Thank you for reading about my idea!
