GRAND RICCI gives: "雚菌 huán jùn (Pharm. chin.) Nom d’un champignon vénéneux poussant sur les roseaux et utilisé comme medicament pour guérir des ascaris."
---------------------------------------------

Editor:
1) 雚[guan4] is "stalk; heron" whereas 雚[huan2] refers to reeds. So it's [huan2] here.

2) Your reference GR says "champignon", but that can refer to fungus in general.
And that appears to be the relevant sense here, because HDC gives [jun1] as the pinyin for 菌 in 雚菌.
If it were a mushroom, the mainland pronunciation would be [jun4].
Also, HDC says 雚菌 is 一种菌类植物, which means it's a fungus.

3) GR isn't wrong to say [jun4], because that's the Taiwan pronunciation for 菌, regardless of whether 菌 is a mushroom or fungus.

4) @Matic: I will put your suggestion for 雚 (huan2) on the RQ.
Diff:
# 雚菌 雚菌 [guan4 jun4] /type of poisonous mushroom that grows on reeds, used in Chinese medicine to help cure patients suffering from ascaris (parasitic worms)/
+ 雚菌 雚菌 [huan2 jun1] /a type of poisonous fungus that grows on reeds, used in Chinese medicine to help cure patients suffering from ascaris (parasitic worms)/
