The Definitive LSD vs Mushrooms Thread

The definitive LSD vs Mushrooms Thread
This question comes up often enough I think that there should be a sticky for it. In the end, Mushrooms and LSD are very different substances, which offer very different experiences and are more different then they are alike. Just because they are psychedelics and make you trip, does not mean they are the same. If that was the case, then why not compare Mescaline to Smoked DMT?
But, that being said - I posted the below message on another forum that asked to compare the two, and I've also quoted another post from that thread which I found to be an interesting read.
------------------------ People seem to think just because mushrooms and LSD are both drugs that make you trip out, that they must be very similar and easy to compare.
To me, it'd be like dunno, trying to compare Meth to Coke, and hell : it's still 100x easier to compare Meth to Coke than it is to compare LSD to Mushrooms.
While Mush and LSD both share some similarities, they have far more differences which set them apart from each other.
They have different body sensations, different durations, different thought-alterations, different visuals.
To sum it up shortly though.
Mushrooms: Passenger in a car that is racing out of control. LSD: Your the driver, lucid and relaxed.
I find LSD to be a far more lucid, clear and less confusing experience than mushrooms (generally speaking). LSD for me also tends to be far more visual, and the visuals are nothing like visuals on Mushrooms.
Sure, you get some of the same perspective warping/etc. But, you also get heavy patterning, and visuals which don't really seem to hold much biases in reality. Like cartoon houses swinging from trees, islands floating in the sky, etc. where Mushroom visuals /generally/ are more warping/distortions of objects + patterns on top.
Now, on HIGH doses of mushrooms, the visual nature can be very extreme, I've had it look like every surface around me was a portal into a new dimension - that being said, its still very different visuals than what I get on LSD.
Low dose of mushrooms = funny, sociable, I want to go out explore/dance Low dose of LSD = annoying, high enough to notice it, but not enough to be absorbed into the experience, but still high enough that you cant really do much
High dose of mushrooms = I want to curl up in a dark space and ride it out (*note: I very much enjoy this, not saying it as a bad thing) High dose of LSD = I want to throw on my backpack and go exploring
Mushrooms : Racing thought loops that I feel like I cant control LSD: I can control my thoughts much more. I can range from interesting thoughts, but ones I can very much control. I can go as deep or as shallow as I want. Also, its VERY easy (for me at least) to quiet my mind while on LSD. If I choose to, I can pretty much turn off my brain while tripping on LSD and empty it of all thoughts - its a very nice/relaxing experience.
On mushrooms, its like my thoughts are always two steps ahead of me and I'm scrambling to catch up, but never able to stop them.
Generally speaking, I think I prefer LSD over Mushrooms, but if I had to rate them on a scale of 1 to 10, LSD would be 10, and Mushrooms would be like, 9.98 -- not too far behind.
Both offer very different experiences, both very worth exploring.
If I had a pile of mush, and a pile of LSD in front of me, and had to chose one, and couldn't do both at once. Chances are the largest deciding factor would be : how much time to I have to dedicate to the trip?
With LSD, its pretty much 12 hours + a day to recover before I feel 100% back to normal. Like, if I drop at 9pm, I'll still be tripping well into the morning, probably wont even get a full 'sleep', then a day sort of basking in the afterglow. I *LOVE* the day after, but I don't always have the time for it.
With mushrooms for example, last week : I dosed mushrooms at 10:30am, by early afternoon I was pretty much back to base-line, and by 2pm, I was programming and working on a website and getting stuff done with my day, I could NEVER do that with LSD.

And, the below post was by Audiocide on the bluelight.ru forums, but think it has a lot of good info, so copying that over here also.
--------------------------------- Let's get this very clear: If I was presented with a choice of LSD or psilocybin mushrooms, I would choose both, because it's an impossible decision leaving you with regrets either way. Plus, the one time I have combined the two, it was excellent.
So keep that in mind: if you are experienced with the nature of the distortion/disassembly of reality (or the Trip), you should try both together at carefully timed and measured doses.
Now to seperate the two. But first we have to do some basic defining of what a trip can be.
The Mindfuck: What some people desire more than anything out of a trip, this is usually the kind of trip that scares people more often. You feel an overwhelming sense of self and your thoughts become distorted. I believe visuals come from this but are completely seperate. You may feel very inferior or insignificant, or you may go deep into a 'hole' in which you do nothign but silently think with glass eyes.
My rating on my own personal trip scale? 10/10. This is top-notch. Any good mindfuck trip is a good trip regardless, because it has a very real power.
The Hallucinatory Trip: Of course, any hallucinogen causes slight distortions in everything, but this is the kind of trip that forces you to focus on insane visuals. You may see 2-D worlds, walls melt away, your friend's face morph into a monster, a lightbulb catch fire and burn. And that's mild hallucinations.
Once heavy ones set in, this can become, more than anything, confusing. You will be mildly amused most times, but it can be scary. This does not, however, cause "bad trips" as often as a mindfuck will. It just makes things stupidly insane.
Also, this can apply to any other sense. You may feel your fingernails fall off, or you may hear people talking in booming, unintelligible thunder.
Rating? 8/10. Can get ridiculous at times, but who doesn't think that true hallucinations aren't cool?
Disassociation: Here's where the big players and big doses come in. This is the kind of trip in which reality no longer exists, and the division between what you believe and what you imagine is shattered. Your friend could catch fire and then you turn into a figment of his imagination, something so unreal that it scares you to death.
This can get very scary and isn't usually very enjoyable unless you are used to it. However, it does happen.
5/10. I was never partial to this kind of thing ,but it's my personal opinion. If you wanna become detached, go for it.
Now those are only three... The most basic three, and you get many variations and this in no way covers all trips, but it gives you a good idea of what else can happen.
So for LSD: Most people I know report that they don't get visuals like they would expect. This is generally because of that last word: expect. You can completely waste an LSD trip by sitting and waiting for something to happen. For conversational purposes, you must "flirt" with the trip. It will nto come to you wioth constant pressure but will, over time, completely rule your body and mind.
LSD is a huge mindfuck sometimes. And sometimes it's not. It all depends on person. But the average seems to be that LSD is a very curious drug. In that you will be interested in lots of things while you trip. A good hike or boating trip (with SOBER FRIENDS, water looks very groovy) is always nice with LSD.
LSD visuals seem to be more 'real' in the sense that everything seems to have a meaning, even if a tree turns blue and chokes to death on its own falling leaves. It is less insane (nothing too wild, but it does get crazy sometimes) but it is more intense in a way because everything seems so important.
Also, at higher doses when focusing, everything else seems to focus on what you are. For instance, you line up many toothpicks in a grid and focus on a corner. All the toothpicks could seem to lean towards that point. Your thoughts, focus, and ideas seem to become very important and everything beings showing relationships.
So let's analyze. Low (threshold) dose: Mild restlessness or a feeling of the need for activity. Gentle feeling of "surging" or rushing through your mind. Thoughts become less brief and you begin to take interest in things you do not normally notice. Rated 4/10. Low (starter) dose: Restlessness prominent. Thoughts very drawn-out and mild visual effects (burred peripherals, prominent focus) occur. Time seems to dilate. Any activity feels very good and cleansing. Very focused, but a tendency to ignore things not focused on does show up. When you set your mind to it, that's it for a while. 6/10 for beginners. Medium (decent) dose: Restlessness overcome by the generally great feeling of energy, but activity helps. Visuals may occur here. Sound is more impactful. Dilation of time more intense. Patterns interesting. 8/10. Medium-high dose: Visuals usually become prominent here. Nothing spectacular, but it does tend to happen. A great curiosity and smaller but more pure attention span curse you for the entire trip. Euphoria may follow. Thoughts are very concentrated and can become redundant or looping because of their content. 8/10 High dose: Unignorable visuals, intense removal of previous constraints of the mind. The user feels very aware of themselves and enjoys conversation. Deep, focused talks. Ability to manipulate some physical feeling from time to time. 10/10 Crazy dose: Visuals become insane. Things take on irregular forms, mindfuck completely established. Diminishing of onesself as a simple and insignificant being can and will (eventually) happen on one of these trips. 9/10 for the less experienced users.
And then there were Mushrooms: Mushrooms are, like previously stated, a "passenger" type drug. You will usually feelveyr little if any control over your trip. Which brings to mind the phrase "ride it out."
Mushrooms are enjoyable, but there is a drawback... You force yourself to take them for what they are, a drug, or you can let them scare you and end up being unhappy. They are top priority upon consumption. There isn't much else to say, and I have to leave somewhere now.
Just remember that mushrooms tend to be more intense. Low-dose trips are less visual but all trips are very mindfucked. High doses retain a lot of ridiculous visual hallucinations and auditory response.
Just ride it out.
And I don't feel like filling this out, but if someone would oblige, I would appreciate it. Low (threshold) dose: Low (starter) dose: Medium (decent) dose: Medium-high dose: High dose: Crazy dose:
And honestly I prefer mushrooms but I can't say that knowing I absolutely love LSD. It's an even deal with me, either way I can get to where I wanna be.
Until whenever,

Great idea to sticky this topic because I think some members will get tired of answering the question LSD vs. shrooms one day.
http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/faqs/psychedelic_experience_faq.shtml
In section 4d they compare some of the effects that LSD and psylocin have to offer.

i havent eaten mushrooms in a good year to year and a half, but i eat acid on a pretty regular basis. reason: i tend to get a bit confused on mushrooms. but this has also happend on high doses of lsd. i think mushrooms are too much of a mind fuck. i lose sense of reality more often, which isnt really a bad thing, only at the wrong time. i could take acid and walk around a random city, go hiking, or party, but on mushrooms, its a must that i be in the outdoors.

Your mushroom experiences are almost identical to mine, this makes me want to try acid VERY badly.
Good thread- only I think the effects of psychedelic drugs are so different from person to person, that you can't simply describe the effects of them, or compare LSD to Mushrooms, its just one of those things you have to experience first hand (for mushrooms at least)

I struggled with this for years
I came to the conclusion that mushroom delivers a tiny bit of toxin at the same time that it delivers the serotonergic psychedelic extensions, while lsd does not have the toxin.
Both are very simmilar save for the minor toxic smear that the mushroom can induce. this tends to ground the mushroom trip or make it a bit darker or heavier, I agree the urge to wander is stronger on acid, but I think it is the lighter load, what mushroom would be without the smear.
the main thing in both is the psychedelic extension, and both can with dosage produce the same kinds of extensions: color sound taste and touch enrichments, tracers, strobes, loops, smears, melting, and general time distortion, from deja vue to epiphany.
depending on dose there is more or less of that.
with mushroom there is that faint toxic spice or shadow, often contributing to the sense that it is the deeper or less brash of the two, or the more 'natural' of the two.

Well here i go LSD VS MUSHROOMS NOT A SINGLE ONE IS BETTER PLEASE UNDERTSAND They are both very special and have very different yet similar characteristics. I agree Lsd is a more controled substance but like mushrooms there are things that are not in the control of the user. For example emotions can be very tampered with on Lsd. An example is two out of three people agree on one idea but the third doesn't, then the two pick up a vibe and the atmosphere can change from a group trip to independance. Mushrooms is a drug that is in your face and can be out of control before you even understand what is happening. Now the reason this is so is because Ego interpretation can mess up the trip. Both have a way with the mind and they let it go. Guess how by killing or as i call it buring the ego. Now people who have bad trips are people who usually try to understand wtf is going on. I've seen it mant times. They sit there and they wonder and wonder till they are fucked and by them it's too late. The mushrooms have taken there place and there person underneath is dead. I have also heard of people haveing same problems on higher doses of Lsd. So basically i got a bit carried off and what im trying to say is that mushrooms bring you towrads a source or your God if you will, while Lsd only shows you the way to it allowing you to choose whether or not thats the path for you.

Im glad someone agrees.
I think its easier to notice the differnecs on lower doses, because if you eat alot of either, you become caught up in the trip and it takes you away, where was if you only eat a little, you just get some insights and maybe feel funny and laugh or cry. Shrooms are more emotional for me, acid is more clear very clear, shrooms, if i eat more than 2 grams make me feel almost drunk or dizzy, and almost like i cant control my thoughts, they just spin around. And the body feeling from shrooms is way better than acid, Coming down from shrooms is like being set free almost, especially if its too intense, coming down off of acid isnt rough, but you cant sleep usually, and there seems to be some mind lag, if you do it more often Shrooms connect me to my body, i almost feel like im meeting and old friend or something, going back, when i eat mushrooms, on acid maybe i feel like im going more ahead. I like the energy you get from both. On shrooms i always end up doing wierd streches and feeling my body alot, cause its a nice physical sensation than acid. I like them both, and I would like to try both at once.

shit. I'm more inclined to say that because psychedelics have to do with interacting with your subconscious experience and your perceptions of the world, you cannot generalize either drug's experience.
It seems like you are all standardizing the psychedelic experience, which I think is a bastardization. On shrooms I was totally cool and spiritual, on acid I had a different kind of experience(more out of control.) I am sure that my experiences on both were influenced by my preconceptions about each, my life, my experience while tripping, and the people around me.
To say 'mushrooms = x, and lsd = y' seems false to me.
Everyone has his/her own experience.

You do have a point, and trying to generalize either is hard. I've been shrooming for over 3 years now, and using LSD for over a year now, and each LSD trip I take, seems to show me a new trick up it's sleeve that I havnt had in a previous trip. Similar can be said to mushrooms (but not to the same extent I've found).
That being said, there are some generalizations that can be made, but they will not capture or do justice to the entire experience . But, this question comes up SO often, that to simply ignore it and not give at least a best effort seems a bit silly.
And even at that - everyone does seem to react differently to each, I've seen many people write off LSD as just being 'a fun drug that offered them nothing', and for me - it's blown my socks off and offered me loads.
For some people, LSD is a bigger mind-fuck then shrooms, for others - its the other way around.
All in all, doing one drug wont prepare you for another, doing one wont let you know what to expect from another, and hell - one LSD trip isnt going to prepare you for a stronger dose - as it can all vary so much.
But, you can give a few clues/pointers/generlizations, but people still need to recgonize that at the end of the day - chances are their expierences will be vastly diferent.

Yes everyone is effected differently in some sense, different brain chemistry and ways of thinking, but were all just giving our opionons from our point of view and i dont think you can really define it, so just go with it

Funny, I just posted this in a thread about schizophrenia about 1 minute ago. I guess it would apply to this lsd vs mushrooms thread(the 100th lsd vs mushrooms thread).
Mushrooms have a sort of personality, a sort of otherworldly feel. Damn near magical. They pick you up and drop you off where ever they want. Ego loss on mushrooms could be a real bitch for a potential schizophrenic because you cant see it coming. It just happens. With lsd,for me and others that I know and even people I have talked to here, you know where you are going and you see it coming, you work with it personally.
Lsd keeps your neat little package together yet you can still trip very hard. Lsd, I guess for me, is more self analytical, process oriented, geometric, and less cyclical, curved/limitless, undefinable and "out there"..... Basically its mindblowing in a whole different way. A way that is more based in this world and your "self".
I have never puked from mushrooms, but I still consider them to be MUCH harder on my body than lsd. For me, mushroms are like psychedelic speed with a heavy body high. Lsd is more electric, and feels more at home when I ingest it although at a high enough dose, it sure as hell makes my heart rate much faster even when anxiety is not involved in any way.

im a BIG fan of both mushrooms and lsd...
but i prefer mushrooms as they are natural, i prefer the visuals too, everything warping and moving, nice colours.
also the whole ritual of picking and then consuming my own makes it so much more enjoyable 
my favorite visual effect is pixelated vision, like seeing everything in squares or grids. i get that from lsd and mushrooms so its all good in my opinion

One of my favorite visions is the so called golden spiral layered upon its self. The geometry involved is amazing. Sacred geometry......
Lsd connot produce this effect for me. Dmt related substances do though, every time. The first time I used ayahuasca and the first time I used mushrooms at a high dose this vortex made of the fibonacci sequence amazed me so very much.
After my first ayahuasca trip I made almost this exact drawing but in color.---> http://www.aadm.com/cydonia/small_fib.gif
a variation of the golden spiral.

Mushrooms. Nothing worth mentioning happens to me on LSD. Also, it's taken me on average 12 hits just to get into a state where I know I'm tripping, but still no hallucinations or enlightenment, only anxiousness and paranoia. At the same time a friend would happily be tripping off of 1. But I can say LSD is more electric which I'm not wild about either. Mushrooms are an all-natural straight out of the ground kind of a deal, always work within the vicinity of regular dosages, and are much more enjoyable..but again, that is compared to my disappointing LSD experiences. At the same time LSD used to be or can sometimes still be much cheaper, so if they work for you that's a major plus right there if you ask me.

Thats really weird that you need so much LSD - and dont even fully trip at that. Even with the weakest blotter I've gotten, 3 hits would give me OEVs/CEVs, and 6 would be a solid trip.
Guess everyone is wired a little differently, a friend of mine needs about 2x the dose of mushrooms than me to start 'tripping', and even then he doesnt get visuals/etc.
I can take 2.5g, have a nice trip - he'll be on 5g and hardly getting any visuals, and this happens consitantly across various batches of shrooms, so its not like its just a fluke.

Right, from what I've been told anti-psychotic medications can cause such this, but I'm on nothing. Plus this has been across 5 or 6 batches, 4 of which had been quality ensured. A big part of the paranoia I experience is "What if they do work to their full extent this time, if I'm 12 in, what am I in for?" So when I get a batch I go 3-8-12 over a month just to make sure. But the potency of LSD has gone down a lot. That may be an understatement. But you hear more and more about people taking around 6 to trip well no?
A number of friends and family have described their LSD hallucinations as being dramatically different from those on mushrooms, as well as a distinct but not extreme difference between each experience. The general consensus tends to be: LSD - more electric, edge of your seat, party experience, Mushrooms - more natural, laid back and spiritual. This is just amongst them though, I've heard many other descriptions from other folks I do not know directly.

Just a reminder to post LSD vs Mushroom questions in this thread. The topic comes up often and would rather keep as much information as possible in this thread.

How about the visuals on each? I prefer mushroom visuals over LSD visuals.
LSD visuals seem more geometric and like it wants to be squared off and mathematically correct, whereas shrooms like to bend and warp thins and colors for me. Shrooms have more silly visuals i guess is what im saying.
I love both visual aspects but i'll take shroom visuals over acid visuals any day.

The amount of LSD considered an average dose has gone down since the 60's. I've seen several reputable sources over the years state the average dose back in the day was around 200 ug, while a modern dose is more in line with 50-70 ug. This would correlate with people taking six or more blotters, where people used to take one and a half.

What are the physical side-effects of LSD and Shrooms? Nothing will deter me from doing them , but still, I'm curious as to how bad they are for you physically.

Zilch, unless you jump out a window or something similar. And you're more likely to jump out a window/damage yourself while drunk than you are while hallucinating.

This is common knowledge, but either way, I was talking about how I get only the slightest threshold effects off of a dozen or more doses while a friend trips happily off of 1 (and even gets noticeable visuals off of 1/4 ).

Hi all, It'a very interesting thread, I am using shrooms for the last 5 years more as a spiritual and psychological guide to know who I am and learn from it. I think I done like 7-9 times a year (full dose) I am not counting below 1.5-2g because it's not realy a trip. I am using 5.5-6g (this is what's good to my weight 74kg) for a full trip. more then that will not do any change in my experience. I have notice that in every trip I have different experience it's depent first of all on my mental condition. you may have the same experience for few time but as the time pass and you grow and you life is changing the experience will change with it. Some time I had hard times and dark trips but these trips will teach you the most if you are willing to see why and what make you feel that way. In my point of view the mushrooms are taking you the the place you need to be and to learn you just need to be aware.
I didn't tried LSD, but I will when I will find a good pure source and have the time to be free for 2 days to do that.
thanks you all for your knowledge and sharing slipper

Diminishing of onesself as a simple and insignificant being can and will (eventually) happen on one of these trips. 9/10 for the less experienced users.
The higher the dose, the less words you should have to use to explain it. I don't believe a "Crazy dose" can be rated, or even described, it should just be considered "Ego-loss". I believe a "Very High dosage" would be feasible, or one even above- "Immense optical, cognitive, and/or sensory distortion."

For me, LSD and psiloc(yb)in offer experiences which are only marginally different.
There are two major differences between LSD and shrooms. (1) LSD lasts around 12 hours and psilocin about 6 hours. (2) LSD often has more of a pronounced stimulant effect.
Every other difference I have noticed between LSD and shroooms is subtle enough that I do indeed wonder if I would perceive it at all, if the substance were unknown to me. However, there are some qualities where I have found slight variations:
The geometrical patterns produced by LSD tend to be far more complex and display higher symmetry than with shrooms.
I'll have to get back on this one. The differences are too subtle. I have the feeling of describing something that I think I can only see through a microscope, when I'm squinting, and maybe I'm not seeing it at all.
I just don't see the differences. I have 5HT2A agonist blindness.
I really don't know what to make of it when people think they can sum up the differences by saying that shrooms are spiritual and acid is intellecutal or that shrooms = race car where you're out of control and LSD = space ship where you are in control. Those are metaphors that can have a BROAD range of interpretation.

Acid. Always. Gives. Me. Visuals. (Even when it's just one hit).
Shrooms, not every time, and even when they do, it's inconsistent. Even if shrooms always did give me visuals, I prefer acid anyways simply because I find the designs, swirling, bleeding to all be amazing. A fleck of bright paint on an otherwise neutral-color wall has infinite beauty when I'm on acid.
As far as the body load, acid feels heavier to me. I really enjoy the body high, even though I sweat more than I do on shrooms.
And the duration can be both a blessing and a curse for acid. on one hand, it's like, "Yeah, I can spend an entire day in another universe!" and it feels great, like I'm going on an epic journey. Go hiking with some friends when you're tabbed out, and I guarantee you'll feel like the Fellowship of the Ring hoofing it out to Mordor. However, you don't always have a full day to trip, and here's where the shrooms are nice.
I've only recently decided I liked acid more. It's also more readily available in my area (unless I am growing my own shrooms of course).

Mushroom Effects
Body:
I feel sensations more intensely--grass suddenly very prickly, suddenly I realize I have a jaw, that I have a skull... and yet conversely, I feel as if I'm a being of light. Perceive the space around me and my situation in it in a more complete way. Point to the sky and imagine a beam shooting through the universe. Peaceful and relaxed.
Mind: Moments of spiritual bliss followed by bouts of analytic thought. An innocence about my thinking, a feeling of wonder at things like deep time, the universe, the beauty of a tree. Very zen like, aesthetic.
Emotion: Reverence for nature. Feeling of being home. Natural. Holy. Amazed in a rooted, reverent way. Other times emotionless, sterile.
Visuals:
rounded geometries, which can makeway into full dream sequences. I've flown through a dark space populated by giant women bearing fruit. Not cartoonish--very real, very holy.
LSD Effects:
Body: Restless energy. Juicy/electric. Delicious sometimes, crampy and irksome others. Oscillation, vibration, pulsation.
Mind: Cracking the code, finding the key, waking up, figuring it out, beating the system, rising with the tide. Sometimes calm and collected, other times messianic and manic.
Emotion: Pure, kid-like happiness. Moments of fear, wishing for sleep. Controllable--just have to tailor my head trip to suit my emotional needs (its cold but the sun will rise, so put your mind on the sun).
Visuals: Patterned textures. Repetition and symmetry. Factory-like. Mathematical and synthetic. None of the women bearing fruit.
And the winner:
For pure experience during the trip: mushrooms
For usefulness outside of the trip: LSD

I thought it was relevant to bump this epic thread in regards to platypus' question in the other thread.
I think it's really hard to put one's finger on the difference because both experiences are so dependant on your set and setting and preparation.
I do think that mushrooms are more of a heavy, gravity effected trip.
Acid is more of like an electric feeling to be. Very light and dynamic.

I like to think of acid as more photosynthetic than electric. Of course I've never photosynthesized, but being in the sun while on acid feels so correct to me.
And ever since taking acid in the sun, being in the sun normally feels more nourishing and simply different. Not so much new as simply understanding it more and appreciating it.

I find the main differences with mushrooms head state compared to the acid head state is that mushrooms are very introspective, they can show u your own subconscious and makes u look inwards for answers. I think this is why some people have bad trips off shrooms, because it shows them things about themselves they don't want to know, or things they've done/experienced in there past. if you have bad karma don't do shrooms (or do, you never know they might sort you out) I find the things they can show you to be hugely beneficial. The mind state Acid i find does the opposite, it opens you up, so that everything in your environment effects you, if your somewhere you feel awkward acid will open you up to this (maybe lead to a bad trip), if you feel comfortable you feel more that way . On acid, you can sense bad intentions in a room, or the change of a song will effect you profoundly. Acid gives you insights on the outside world. Visually shrooms are much more organic fluid style,kind of like being in a underwater cartoon world with far more intense wavey colours and textures. Lsd visuals are mush more angular and almost electric, regimented patterns wave and swirl out of every texture, with each texture creating it's own pattern. Shrooms make you feel warm, nice and chilled. Acid has quite a speedy feel to it, you mind is working quite fast.I personally prefer shrooms (i find a 100-300 liberty caps does the trick), I find the mushroom spirit much gentler, older and wiser, I find the insights and head state incredibly deep and beneficial and can really improve you as a person, love the visuals, and love the way they make u feel. And Prefer the way you minds not working overtime. Of course, I absolutely love the both of them, And it varies from trip to trip, this is just the overall feel i get from both of them.

If you like to trip often; then mushrooms are where it's at. Shrooms can combat tolerance with eating more mushrooms. With CID; once you get tolerance; then you must wait at least 4-5 days before tripping again.
But color and visuals are much more intense of CID. In fact, the amount seen trumps shrooms; especially colors and warping.
Personally I don't have a favorite. They both fulfill my psychedelic desires!

They are very similar as far as the similarity between psychedelic drugs go.
But they seem to have their own separate features, albeit that is also not set in stone. Some people seem to experience the features usually associated with mushrooms on LSD and vice versa. But here is what I make out of my own experience and the general vibe I've been getting from people:
LSD: Intellectual Rigid and definite Mechanic Insightful Light
Mushrooms: Emotional (or Spiritual) Fluid Organic Enlightening Dark
Some people, among them myself, believe that mushrooms are more of a load on the physical sensory that it is in contrast to LSD, which is said to be more of a perceptive experience. Personally I find strong hallucinations and visuals easier to attain with mushrooms.
I can't say that they are very different though. They are like drums of different components for the membrane, striking the same note. The note may be the same, but the way the beats sound is different from one another. Either with their own accents and deficiencies.

I said this in another post, it fits this thread though.
"I enjoy thinking of psychedelics effects on us like a tree.
Shrooms give us our root. It lets us understand our true primal being. Keep us intact with what we (as the human race) started as. Washed away of the years and years of conforming to certain things, and being taught certain things. For me, they gave me a whole new spiritual natural outlook. Without which, would make Lucy more difficult for me. I tripped on shrooms first and glad I did, a lot of the lessons it taught me helped me to further understand the "reaching out" feeling LSD gives me.
Lucy is like the branches. She allowed me to reach out, expand and see the infinite in everything. True art has no limits, the only art that is true is the art that is truly expressed. Lucy really helps me see this clearly."
In addition, Lucy is more in your face hallucinations.
As mentioned, shrooms certainly are visual, but much more of an organic patterning and warping.
Lucy will have no mercy, visuals will appear as real as real can be. Many times I really was unsure if I was hallucinating or not. I find Lucy to be more clear headed than Shrooms.
This can be more difficult or easier, depends on the person.
Lucy, yes I feel clear headed, but sometimes that clarity in your head can't process the intense visual and open mindedness that Lucy has.
Where with Shrooms, you can reach completely delirious dream states where "good" and "bad" just seize to exist, you just understand "is-ness"
Everything just IS, why judge it good or bad? It exists, and that in itself is beautiful. Shrooms show me this more than Lucy has.
Lucy can bring me to dream states too, just way different than Shrooms to me.
Lucy is just as profound, I'm not saying it isn't. I believe that Lucy boosted up my confidence, made me happier and understand my own potential.
Shrooms though, the first trips I took were shroom trips. And damn, I loved it instantly. I mean, I was hooked on trips. They tore down my reality and said "LOOK!". Believe me, I loved the trips, but this time in my life of opening myself up to the shroom world brought me to an extremely difficult time in my life. In a great way though.
They showed me the world so differently, that I couldn't socialize. I felt so outcast at work, school, everywhere. I had this whole new outlook, and when I looked around at the average people.
I saw just... lost souls. Ignorance, care over such tiny things. Drama, "this girl did this, this boy did this", I just didn't get it, I didn't care, I felt like there was so much more to life. It's not that I thought I was better, I just felt like they everyone was wasting the gift of life.
Including myself. I couldn't deal with a sober reality anymore, it brought me to a very low point. Everywhere.
My job wanted to fire me because I just couldn't stay calm, I learned about myself from shrooms, and it just became so difficult to see so many people wasting away. I never got fired, I turned over a new leaf there, and am respected as a hard working kid now, I'm glad I got through it, it sucked.
This was a good feeling though, shrooms brought me to my lowest, and rebuilt me as a person. I didn't have bad trips, when I was tripping, I was in bliss. It was coming back to reality that I couldn't take. This was a short stint though, it was the initial reaction to the instant prying open of my third eye. Shook my reality, in about a year, of tripping more and more and understanding it, I learned how to use these lessons to better my own reality, and now I am a better, stronger person.
Lucy has expanded upon the new me, showed me where I have to take this road. To reach for the infinite, learn no limits in what you believe you are capable of.
After several years of tripping, I can't think of much bad they did for me now. Other than maybe fried some brain cells, and my vision is certainly a little more "snow grain" type than it was. I love it though.
They really in many many ways, saved me from myself.

i've tried a variety of mushrooms, tried many different forms of LSD (blotter, gel, liquid, sugar cubes) and every once in a while it seemed to be actual LSD rather than something that would convince you that you've taken a psychedelic drug. the beauty of LSD just stands out. heck, i've tried mushrooms and LSD at the same time. wonderful experience. (thanks Phil )
it seems to me that the differences between experiences vary from person to person, situation to situation and moment to moment.
it seems fool-hardy to suggest that mushrooms = x whereas LSD = y
the potential for variation seems nearly infinite.

i'm just skeptical about lsd these days. too often i find myself waiting 3 hours to come up for an 18 hour trip.
then again, real deal LSD is awesome. no question lol. some of the most profound experiences of my life.
thing is, unless you have access to clean LSD, mushrooms always rule and just about anyone can cultivate a stash for their friends and family.

Eh I think a lot of this "shrooms vs LSD" stuff is in the head. They are surely different but not to the extent of being incomparable like many people try to say. I've had shroom trips that felt more like acid and visa versa. Really all trips are just different and start to blend together after a while. I've watched my dmt trips change nature over the course of time too
Certain things like headfuck, body high, level of visuals may be different but when it comes down to it tripping is tripping IMO
Some of the differences I can notice though are shrooms are more cartoon looking where LSD is more fucked up. Like I'm looking at a bad Picasso. People's faces tend to move like water on acid. Like it just melts around. Acid also has a much more dark feel to it for me. For example when someone smiles on shrooms I get this vibe of "I can't take anything seriously this is great." when they smile at me on acid it's like "haha we fucked the system." like there's some sort of mischief going on but not in a bad way. Also while I find shrooms more fun I find acid more euphoric. The high parts of the trip are fucking

The thing I see most people doing is saying their shroom trips are just way more intense on lsd. I don't know why, but people take 200 mics of LSD and then compare to taking 3.5 grams or higher of shrooms or something.
TAKE MORE ACID! In comparison people take higher doses of shrooms than they do acid and then they say shrooms are more intense or they get more out of it or whatever when all that really happened is they simply didnt do enough LSD.
For me, I prefer acid because of the length it lasts and the clarity and empowering feelings it gives me. I especially love low dosing. Just taking hits every day! Once you build a slight tolerance it's esspecially nice because you can never really "trip". Instead you just get this awesome high that lasts all day :P Both are awesome.

Which of them can easily lead you to disorientation? Which do you take around the city or natural places where you could also meet known people?
I tried 4g cubensis mushrooms yesterday (my second concrete trip), and this week-end im going to try 100ug LSD(good quality). I care about its lasting, and so return home still during the trip, or meeting known people I should talk to.
What can you say to me? 4g Mushrooms trip was very intense for me, I absolutely couldn't speak with people for 2-3 hours.

for people that need a simple explanation differing between the experience of the two this is how I put it. with mushrooms, you are taking a cosmic journey in which you are a passenger, and with acid you are the pilot.

I used to be a shroomer til I die, but recently ive experienced acid over 20 times trying to compare it to the mushroom experience and this is my findings..
Shrooms- Heavier, alien, inter-galactic, shooting-star like visuals, spiritual
Now with the acid...one thing makes it superior. The green electric grid that takes over as the main hallucination making acid reign king. Nothing can compare to this. I don't know if anyone can relate, but it makes acid "thee psychedelic" IMHO.

This thread just goes to show that there is not a definitive answer to which is "better" or which will "deliver more". I have done awesome mop up LSD and dropped 4g and a little shake of mushrooms. After experiencing both in great amounts, i have come to love mushrooms more than LSD. LSD is an amazing substance, one that delivers amazing experiences and "lessons". I've never had a bad trip on LSD, but i have had one on mushrooms, and thats what makes me favor mushrooms over LSD. Mushrooms i believe bring me closer to nature, to the reality of an alternative dimension. When i do mushrooms i envy trees and grass, i speak the language of nature, and the universe...i understand it. LSD...only word to describe it is...fun/hilarious. I love it. its great...but when i think about what is important in my life..mushrooms win. Mushrooms bring the soul/universe right in front of a person and display it...through this i have learned many things about myself that ive been able to change, for the better. Sure ive had great funny and awesome visuals..but the connection with nature and my soul through mushrooms is something that has literally saved me from evil. It's amazing how both these substances effects all of us differently!

I finally had the chance to try LSD a few weeks ago (it was actually 1p-lsd, but from what I hear the experience is mostly indistinguishable), so I thought I'll add my comparison:
The visuals were way more intense than anything I ever saw on mushrooms. Drawing while under the effect was fantascientific and one of the funniest things I ever did. Every line I drew was morphing and expanding in every direction while changing colors. Also creativity was through the roof, I was basically chasing my ideas and I could see complete drawings from just a few random lines. On mushrooms I had a few trips with almost no visuals at all.
Phisically I felt more energetic, I would have loved to dance. I also had a constant tingle/tremor all over my body most of the time. I found this quite annoying to be honest, so overall I prefer the body sensations of mushrooms. With them I can almost ignore the existence of my body and I always get what I call "the body orgasm" on the comeup, just a physically pleasing feeling that goes through my whole body and that tells me the trip is about to start.
Mentally I was more in control of my emotions. It was way easier to keep my mind shut and just experience everything around me. Also less risk of sad or negative feelings caused from a picture, a thought, or other external stimuli etc. but that's also true for the positive emotions and overall things didn't feel as meaningful and full of lessons to be learned. On mushrooms everything has a meaning, I remember one time I found a piece of metal in a river and that became the perfect metaphor for, well, everything. I even carried it with me for most of the trip.
Last but most disappointing thing: the afterglow. The following days I didn't have the glowing positivity and the feeling of having become a better person that I get after a shroom trip. Certainly I was happy about the trip and kept thinking about it, but I felt more or less the same as usual. I didn't give it too much thought until my friend told me the same thing a few days later.
I'll certainly try it again in the future, but for now I prefer mushrooms, mostly because of the afterglow.

Mushrooms made me way less anxious than the supposed acid I had (tho it was tasteless white blotter), but also gave me stomach issues and an unenjoyable body tension. The acid gave me more feel good euphoria for sure.
On the other hand, the mushroom mental space was way more interesting and mystical than the acid mind space, again assuming it was legit LSD. It might have been lsz, allad or even 1plsd. Couldn't have been any nbome or DOx though, considering the tastelessness, correct?

I prefer to take mushrooms with an maoi and I usually shoot for the stars every time I trip simply because I don't get the opportunity to do so on a regular basis. As such, I will compare a high dose of mushrooms (5 grams plus 3 grams of rue) to a high dose of lsd (6 tabs which based on other's experiences seems to be about 500 mcgs).
Mushrooms:
On this dose I become incapacitated. The body high is intense; it feels like I'm flying. My mind wanders and anything that I have buried will inevitably surface whether I like it or not. Ego death is a certainty. I am convinced that I do not exist, yet I feel like I am the entire universe.
As far as oevs go, I first start to notice swirling of the room. Then, colors become more vivid and things I'm watching on the tv start to come out of the tv. Birds, for example, fly off the screen. Melting is very obvious. Next, objects start to morph into each other. Said birds may turn into an old Spanish galeon. As I begin to peak, oevs become so powerful that I can't tell if they are real. Everything I see is a hallucination. I may be transported to a different planet, transform into a mountain, or fly through space.
With regard to my mental state, I completely lose my mind. I can't tell if I'm tripping or if this is how things have always been. At the start everything is really funny, knee-slappingly hilarious. It then progresses into being absolutely astonished for the remainder of the trip. Everything is mind blowing. Totally out of control. For mushrooms, I have to stay at my house. There is no way I could tell where I am going or interact with people.
Acid:
The come up is quick, 30 minutes as opposed to mushrooms which takes 90 minutes. It starts with a mild body high and progresses to blatant hallucinations. Everything is melting, colors are vivid, and my mind is blown constantly. However, I am always in control. If I need to interact with people I can turn off the wildness. I still laugh my ass off, but I can always focus and get things done. After a couple hours of losing it I begin to think really clearly, perfectly even. I know exactly what I want in life and that's to be like a cowboy. Not a cowboy in the sense that I wear a hat and jeans and herd cattle, but in the sense that I am a total badass, that I have to live life like I want, to get the most out of everything, to be free. I become very empathetic. I understand people, their motivations, and their points of view. I want to party like never before. I crave to watch action shows like cowboy bebop and trigun. This goes on for about 8 hours. I become very clever, sociable, and fun.
The visuals last for maybe 8 hours, but that doesn't seem to be the main attraction. The sensation of being a badass is the main event of the trip and it happens on the come down.
Comparison:
Mushrooms seems to be much more introspective, healing, and out of control. The hallucinations are so powerful that I can't tell if they are real or not. Acid is much more in control. I feel much more psyched on life. I want to cheer and scream and party, whereas on mushrooms I want to meditate. Acid is more for fun and mushrooms are more for growth.
I love both! However, if I were to choose just one it would be mushrooms because I feel like it's much more spiritual, powerful, and life changing.

Acid is mercurial, liquid metal. Also can be your best friend one minute, then turn on you, but in a clear, analyzing, awareness of what's happening kind of way.
Mushrooms are the air just above ground that you breathe. The air can be wet, dry, blowing, or still. Mushrooms when they turn on you, are still like the air, spinning your head around and confusing your mind and emotions, as you can't control or contain air.

This, with the difference that i do not hallucinate to much with shrooms, only an enchance of colors with eyes open, closing the eyes i dream awake. Same happens with LSD but seems i get lil bit more visuals with eyes open.
And for sure i get more knowledge from shrooms apparently.

Best way I can describe it...
LSD is more eletric. Its really hard to compare the two, its like comparing a orange and a apple.
Shrooms, you have less visuals i would say. I would compare 100ug of lsd, to around 1.5-3G cubes. Visuals are way different though. Lots more colors on lsd.
If i had to choose one for the rest of my life, i would have to think about it for a long time.
I have not had any cubes in a year, and now i have my hands on a near-endless supply of lsd. I just got a oz of cubes for 85$. I always get sick on cubes. Tea, pills, ate regular does not matter. I will get sick. The funny thing is though, that once I get sick, that kicks the trip off. Sometimes I start seeing slight visuals then get sick, and start tripping balls. Sometimes its nothing, get sick, and by time i am wiping my mouth off I have visuals.

LSD is a very fun drug, and I love taking it because I feel like I have much more thorough conversations regarding the world around me. While on acid, I can think clearly about things that are very human, like politics, money, greed, etc.
Mushrooms is like speaking to a deity for me. I could care less about materialistic, human things, because I become aware that the distinction between nature and humanity is a line we chose to draw ourselves. I become more humble regarding the fact that I came from nature, and that nature cares for me. This is why mushrooms will always be a better drug for me. I know that mushrooms help turn me into a better, and much more conscious person when it comes to recognizing the damage my actions can cause and knowing how to make changes to myself so I don't cause that damage in the future.
-------------------- Psychedelics i want to take: Mushrooms, Salvia (weak), Salvia (strong), Cannabis, LSA, Cactus, LSD, DMT, Bufotenine, 5-meo-DMT, 4-aco-DMT, Bufocin (theoretical as of now), and a long long time from now, Datura (deliriant). "LSD is a psychedelic substance which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people that have never taken it." DEATH METAL \m/

cptnmexico said: I prefer to take mushrooms with an maoi and I usually shoot for the stars every time I trip simply because I don't get the opportunity to do so on a regular basis. As such, I will compare a high dose of mushrooms (5 grams plus 3 grams of rue) to a high dose of lsd (6 tabs which based on other's experiences seems to be about 500 mcgs).
Mushrooms:
On this dose I become incapacitated. The body high is intense; it feels like I'm flying. My mind wanders and anything that I have buried will inevitably surface whether I like it or not. Ego death is a certainty. I am convinced that I do not exist, yet I feel like I am the entire universe.
As far as oevs go, I first start to notice swirling of the room. Then, colors become more vivid and things I'm watching on the tv start to come out of the tv. Birds, for example, fly off the screen. Melting is very obvious. Next, objects start to morph into each other. Said birds may turn into an old Spanish galeon. As I begin to peak, oevs become so powerful that I can't tell if they are real. Everything I see is a hallucination. I may be transported to a different planet, transform into a mountain, or fly through space.
With regard to my mental state, I completely lose my mind. I can't tell if I'm tripping or if this is how things have always been. At the start everything is really funny, knee-slappingly hilarious. It then progresses into being absolutely astonished for the remainder of the trip. Everything is mind blowing. Totally out of control. For mushrooms, I have to stay at my house. There is no way I could tell where I am going or interact with people.
Acid:
The come up is quick, 30 minutes as opposed to mushrooms which takes 90 minutes. It starts with a mild body high and progresses to blatant hallucinations. Everything is melting, colors are vivid, and my mind is blown constantly. However, I am always in control. If I need to interact with people I can turn off the wildness. I still laugh my ass off, but I can always focus and get things done. After a couple hours of losing it I begin to think really clearly, perfectly even. I know exactly what I want in life and that's to be like a cowboy. Not a cowboy in the sense that I wear a hat and jeans and herd cattle, but in the sense that I am a total badass, that I have to live life like I want, to get the most out of everything, to be free. I become very empathetic. I understand people, their motivations, and their points of view. I want to party like never before. I crave to watch action shows like cowboy bebop and trigun. This goes on for about 8 hours. I become very clever, sociable, and fun.
The visuals last for maybe 8 hours, but that doesn't seem to be the main attraction. The sensation of being a badass is the main event of the trip and it happens on the come down.
Comparison:
Mushrooms seems to be much more introspective, healing, and out of control. The hallucinations are so powerful that I can't tell if they are real or not. Acid is much more in control. I feel much more psyched on life. I want to cheer and scream and party, whereas on mushrooms I want to meditate. Acid is more for fun and mushrooms are more for growth.
I love both! However, if I were to choose just one it would be mushrooms because I feel like it's much more spiritual, powerful, and life changing.
This, with the difference that i do not hallucinate to much with shrooms, only an enchance of colors with eyes open, closing the eyes i dream awake. Same happens with LSD but seems i get lil bit more visuals with eyes open.
And for sure i get more knowledge from shrooms apparently. 
perfect description!!!! i feel exactly the same

For the initiated. Put simply for a topic so hard to put into accurate words. Mushrooms are alive, and LSD brings you to life.

For me, in my own experience, shrooms were scarier to me (this is mid-late 90s). So, I opened the door with acid. Growing up with dare and everything regarding the pharm companies, I somehow trusted human separated chemicals more than organics. I was even against pot. Not unlike Alexander Shulgin.
I opened the door with acid, and I realized so many things. It hit as I was driving home from a party and I went to sleep tripping! Something I've never been able to do since! But it was transforming.
I later realized I HAD to try mushrooms. The rest is history. 14 years after my first trip on acid, I've finally secured my own mushies (before which I'd always found acid easier to find, though sometimes it's DOx or nBOME or something). I've never been so at peace, nor happier with the shrooms. It's like they show me what I really want deep in my heart. And then, they force me to pursue that happiness and confront all my fears. I fucking love mushrooms.
But Acid was like my first love.

If LSD was a clock it would hands down be analog. No questions. It's that same classic thing.

LSD = Math/Chemistry/Psychics Shrooms = Biology
YES
Well I don't know about chemistry but I've always found that if these things were academic subjects;
Mushrooms: Biology and Philosophy
LSD: Physics and Psychology (psychoanalysis in particular)
Shrooms are what got me interested in Biology

Basically the main difference for me is that Shrooms are more disclosing and LSD is more 'unlatching' if that makes any sense.
Acid is paradigm shifting but Mushrooms are paradigm shattering

But you did. So if you didn't want to, why did you?
There's this great feature called Edit. You can edit and add/delete to your posts.

I think you can see I already edited one of my posts and also I said didn't want to put them all into one on this particular thread. You took what I said the wrong way.
