No idea exactly what magic mushroom is, but if you're alluding to drug consumption outside of SG, do note that it IS illegal to consume drugs outside of SG. And if you are caught via urine test, you would be punished accordingly as if you had consumed it in SG. Some drugs like cannabis can show up in your urine as long as 30 days.
Having said that, customs officials would not pull you aside for a friendly urine cuppa unless you give them reason to in terms of your appearance or behavior (or if there's a tip off.. that one, can't run sadly). So just ensure that you are refreshed and look AWAKE I guess (no blood shot eyes, pin-point pupils, and erratic behavior...probably should avoid drinking on the plane as well).
FYI:
In Singapore, you can be dragged into custody without a warrant and be compelled to submit to drug testing by the Singapore authorities. As Singaporean drug counselor and ex-detainee Tony Tan explains: "[Penalties for] the first time you are caught for drug consumption is one year, the second time is three years and the third time is five minimum with three strokes of the cane," says Tan. "Consumption just means that your urine has tested positive."
According to Tan, Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers are stationed at Changi Airport, searching for telltale signs of drug use. "In Singapore, if you are taking drugs overseas once you cross the border into Singapore and test positive you will still be charged even though you didn't consume the drugs in Singapore," says Tan.
As with everything in life --> Have fun, just don't get caught!
