From the recent MUSHROOMED game -
shroom
is a term for those so-called 'magic mushrooms' (the hallucinogenic kind). It's in several dictionaries. Worth adding as a rare word in my view.

Well Morbius I never would have picked you as the magic mushroom type!

The word or the item?

It's not a word in my active vocabulary, but I've certainly seen it often. And I even knew the magical ingredient, psilocybin, though I somehow doubt that will come up in Chihuahua any time soon.

Yes, the word's in a few dictionaries these days. It can also be used colloquially for any mushroom, but normally it refers to a hallucinogenic variety.
I'll add
shroom
as a rare word.
