I am glad to read your stories, Alchemikey, and they are very interesting. I have for a long time wanted to go do basically what you describe doing with the shamans.
And I agree that in a sense they are for diversification. In fact, purely from a neurological point of view, they make the perceptual regions of your brain function MORE, exprience MORE than you normally ever would have. This can of course go to the extent that it becomes scrambled, which then is the true test, one could say. Has anyone ever heard the theories about the "manna from heaven" in the old testament actually being mushrooms? It's interesting to think about.
