I’ve tripped on liberty caps before, but not cubensis like most people do. Was a distinctly magical fairy tale experience, would recommend. 

Tried any other psychedelics outside of shrooms, anon? What do you think are the differences?

Last time, I began seeing things kind of that way. Although, I saw it more as we are in a narrow cave. The roof is the purely spiritual and the floor is purely physical. Each creature is one of those stalagmites/stalactites columns connecting the two with various strengths. Humans usually have a pretty thick column. Bears, elephants, less. Bugs and fish and such, very thin connections. Now I've typed it out, I guess it's not that similar to your experience, but there it is. 

Just shrooms. I've been satisfied every time. And I like the idea of eating something my ancestors 10k years ago could have eaten. Never felt the need to go much further. Too much I want to accomplish in this lifetime.

That’s fair, many people go too crazy with this type of thing. Me included, to be honest.
If you like shrooms, though, I’d recommend mescaline. You can prepare it yourself from various cactii, the way that south american shamans have been doing for millenia. It’s a weird mix of lsd and shrooms that has a really nice, natural effect on cognition. 

When I took shrooms, I noticed that the people around me appeared to take inhuman forms in my peripheral vision. One of my friends assumed the visage of an eagle, one appeared to be wolf-like and the other appeared owl-like.
When we went outside, people took on various flavours. One person looked fairy like: I looked directly at her and she resumed a human’s appearance, but I recall her smiling at me. Another person, when I saw him through the corner of my eyes, assumed a terrifying troll-like appearance.

My question: do you think the shrooms were allowing me to peek into the souls of those who I was seeing? Was I seeing their metaphysical beings instead of their physical beings?
Or was I just tripping balls and suffering delusions?

Mescaline has actually been on my radar. I'm sure I'll find a good reason some day. 
My answer: Idk. There's a lot of weird shit I've seen, some meaningful, some not. I go on a case by case basis, but usually, there is a kernel of truth to everything I've seen. Or maybe I'm too dumb to understand what I think are just noise. 
I would wager there is a link between each animal avatar and the person in your mind. Something you associate to both. 
Shrooms trips are like dreams, they need to be deciphered. I mean, that's basically what they are. Lucid dreams but your body is also awake
