LSD vs. Mushrooms

Which do you prefer and why?
I have tripped on mushrooms dozens of times and I really enjoy the experiences I get from them. However, I have never tripped on LSD and I'm really curious as to how it compares to psilocybin mushrooms. I've always stayed away from synthetics, but LSD is intriguing to me.
Anyone?

LSD is a great substance. But Mush and LSD are more different than they are alike IMO.
For me, LSD tends to be far more visual in nature. LSD is also far more 'lucid' and less confusing than mushrooms.
At the end of the day, I think I like LSD more - but not by much. If LSD is a 10/10, mushrooms are a 9.95/10

Use the search engine. This topic has been brought up a billion times.
I usually prefer LSD over mushrooms, but just like Kaniz said, they are different. I find mushrooms a little more intoxicating and easier to have a bad trip on. LSD makes me real euphoric and visually awed but the length of the trip and the energetic edge can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
I love both, but deciding between the two is based on how my mood is, and what I will be doing on them.

Yep, the 'which do I do' is more a matter of the situation at the time and my mood, and not a matter of preference.
The good and the bad of LSD can come alot from its duration. Some days, the 12 hour ride is perfect - and its what I want. However, some times, I just dont have the time to dedicate to a 12 hour expierence.
With mushrooms, I could dose at 8pm, and be in bed at a reasonable hour (like, 2-3am) - sleep soundly, and be perfectly fine the day after.
With LSD, if I dose at 8pm, chances are - I will still be awake at 8am, and I find that after a LSD trip - I have a difficult time falling asleep, so chances are - I wont sleep at all the day after. This can lead to 'losing a day' in terms of being productive and getting work done.
ie: last weekend, I dosed at around 9:30pm, and even though the 'peak' of the trip had long gone, I was still 'tripping' at around 9:30am. And even once the trip was done, and I was like, 98% back to baseline - I wasnt tired, and didnt get to bed untill 11-11:30pm, and was exhaustde most of monday due to lack of sleep.
Not that I'm complaining, it was an amazing trip and loved it - but some days, I just dont have the time to dedicate that much to a trip.

for me mushroom are a more humane, organic story like trip. more mythic. like they have their own agenda. lsd is a more empty, vibrational trip. with acid you get what you put in whereas the mushroom will take you by the hand and show you what it wants to show you. the visuals on acid blow everything else away. you will not believe your own eyes. mushrooms work more inside your head and work through emotions and memories.
but everybody is different. just my personal experience.

i've never done just mushrooms. i've only had a low dose of acid and both times i've taken shrooms i hippie flipped. hippie flipping has been the most amazing experience of my life. my thoughts were very clear and profound. any time i've had a 'cheap' trip, like morning glories, my head seems clouded. imr eally hoping that shrooms alone aren't like that. i'll probably find out here in about a month.

Well put. That's exactly how I feel. 
Also, LSD can make me a little depressed and confused afterwards which I have never experienced from mushrooms. Mushrooms feel more natural, but also more intoxicating and a little more difficult to handle.
One time I ate 2 grams of homegrown mush, and at was leaping from shadow to shadow all around my house in boxers at 1 in the morning, LOL. Mush usually makes me feel like I'm 6, and L tends to make me feel real happy and "connected" with the universe.
The first time I did L, it felt like ectasy with amazing visuals. I had this feeling like, "nothing else in the world could get me as high as I am now". Definitely something worth experiencing!

ive eaten mushrooms more times that i have tripped on lsd (mainly because of availability in my area) but it is hard for me to say which i like more. like a few people have said it is different type of experience. for me its like comparing apples and oranges. i feel different during in each case and afterwards i also feel different, so except for being a psychadelic and lasting a far amount of time i would have to say they are too different for me to say i like one more than the other. prior to taking lsd i assumed it would just be a more intense mushroom trip, but that wasnt the case, at least not for me. moral is, i like them both for different reasons.

What form of LSD is the your favorite or most recommended?
Through the years of Highschool and now in college I am always hearing nutty stories of different ways to drop acid...
I pay attention professional advice much more, than the common fried out opinions [High School].

I've only had it on blotter. My current batch of blotter seems to be the most potent/clean of the bunch - I've tripped from 3 different ones before this one, the one before this one being the weakest/worst.

i have only experienced acid in the blotter form, i would love to get it in liquid form but, availability is minimal in these parts. but from the few times i have done it there have been MAJOR differences in the type of trip. im not sure if its because of the amount on the blotter or the frame of mind i may have been in. who knows, maybe ill have to try it more.

I definitely choose acid over shrooms. One drop should be fine. The only bad thing about acid is that it's so hard to find good quality drops.

I did some liquid acid but i think it was a little less tense then the blotter strips. Blotter papers is all you can really get these years.

I remember I once wrote:
Lsd is like a clear blue waterfall with hundreds of little hedges protruding through the flow. Mushrooms are like a violent whirlpool crashing up against the boulder-like masses in the water.
Thats just a metaphore, but it says alot. For example, lsd is well known to be better for self analyzation. I could never say which one I like better. They both are better for different things.

Great way of putting it stemmer.
I've also often said : LSD, I am the driver in control of the expierence, Mushrooms - I am a passanger on a crazy ride.
Similar ideas. To say one is better tha the other, or to compare them isnt really valid. While someone may prefer one over the other - that is an opnion and not a fact.
It's like saying Apples are better than Oranges - both are very tasty fruits, and one should eat both now and then - but any preference is a matter of opnion and not a fact.
I think I am also finding - LSD shows me more about myself, Mushrooms show me more about others and the nature of the world around me.
