Compare and Contrast Psilocybin and LSD

What's going on guys? I hope everyone's have an outstanding morning!
I'm doing a compare and contrast essay for my English 101 class, and my topic is one the similarities and differences on Psilocybin and LSD. I plan on diving into: specifics of the molecular structure; the effects, physically, on the human body; and will also want to compare and contrast the effect it has on the human brain, both short term and long term. I've done both mushrooms and LSD so I will be sharing some of my own experience in this essay, however I want to reach out and here what other people have to say on this topic. If you would like to share your thoughts or opinions, or point me in the directions of some bad ass articles, I would appreciate that. Thanks guys, take it easy.

The simplest way I can put it (for me at least).....
Shrooms are a dark roller coaster of ups and downs
LSD is like a rocket ship that blasts me straight up into space

Similarities:
Fractalization of vision, increase of visual acuity during onset, jumping of associations between thoughts can increase to the point where instead of going from A-B-C-D, jumps of A-D happen.
Contrasts:
Acid: Overall I have a more chemical feeling during trip. Visuals tend to be more technological in nature. More clinical. Feels more like simply a reorganization or warping of reality. The trip is generally something that is presented to me and I can do with it what I want. Even at higher doses I still feel that I am in control for the most part. I've never felt that acid had much in the way of anything to teach me even at 10+ hits. It is just an experience to be had and played along with, not unlike watching a movie.
Mushrooms: Far more organic feeling to the whole trip. Visual are fractalized like acid, but tend to flow more. More waves and streams. Control is not always an option. Past social/party doses, meaning 10g+ there is most definitely a sense of an "other" that is trying to impart teachings upon me. At even higher doses of 20g+ my ego is totally dissolved and instead of just watching the experience unfurl around myself, I become the experience.
For the most part they are very similar, but with qualitative differences. Acid to me, feels almost lifeless and clinical with next to no knowledge to impart. Mushrooms on the other hand feel vibrant and alive with a vast pool of knowledge, eons deep to share. I can't really say that acid has had any real lasting effects for me. Mushrooms on the other hand have had profound effects on my personality and general way of approaching life.

Is that really a suitable topic for an English 101 assignment? Comparing two recreational drugs for an English class comes off as rather puerile to me, ymmv I guess

As long as you are learning the fundamentals of writing the topic doesn't matter. Maybe a little childish, but it's english 101, who cares, try and have a little fun with the class to make it less horrible.
I always found mushrooms to be very heavy. Heavy body high to the point where all you I do is lay down sometimes. They are hard on my stomach and digestive system. And have a huge amount of head fuck if my psychological state isn't top notch. Visuals are always faces and skulls with colorful geometric patterned curtains over my eyes. Most things take on patterns that appear to be something else.
LSD is much more light feeling. I feel like exercising and being active. My balance and coordination actually improves on LSD compared to mushrooms which impair my balance. I have yet to have a bad trip with LSD. I don't get inside my head and focused on the negatives in life so much, though I do have intense philosophical arguments with myself. Sleeping is very difficult after LSD and the long duration makes it difficult to fit into daily life. Whereas mushrooms last just a few hours and I am able to sleep after taking them. Visuals are usually more flowing liquidy or paisley. Patterns stand out and become prominent. Anything that lights up is amazing. LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS! Things become cartoonish on LSD versus organic and super real on mushrooms. Much more lucid feeling all around.

Mushrooms are introspective and dreamlike; more guiding.
LSD is more an energetic peak awareness of the interconnected moment.
-------------------- Favorite entheogen experiences in descending order: 1)Combo of oral DMT + smoked Bufotenine 2)Amanita (urine drank twice) 3)Mushrooms > Achuma 16"+cid(still need higher dose Achuma)> Cid (still need high dose) 4)Morning Glory-HBWR (+cumin, cinnamon aldehyde adducts) > Methyl chavicol (need more activators) 5)Salvia (need to try quid)
All readable matter in the above post is ficticious... any similarities to real life are purely coincidental. Blessing.

Although it is often seen as a synthetic chemical, LSD is similar to Psilocin in that it also was originally derived from a fungus.

Exactly what I was looking for, I highly appreciate your input.

Lsd is synthesized from the ergot fungus while psilocybin is just made from mush and rooms
