Super Mushrooms were originally believed to have been inspired by the cake that Alice eats in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that makes her grow after having been shrunk by a potion. However, Shigeru Miyamoto later corrected himself, saying that this was a misunderstanding; the mushrooms were actually inspired by the concept of mushrooms being associated with magical worlds in general, like the wonderland of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the Mushroom Kingdom.

Interesting, I was wondering why they chose Amanita muscaria rather than one of the psilocybin shrooms. Maybe bc Amanita is prettier?

It's more than likely just what looked best with the color palette they used.
