Psychedelic trips with mushrooms and with LSD are very similar, often you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. When there are visuals I find them to be more "organic" on mushrooms and more "sharp/electric" on LSD, but that’s very subjective/suggestible. But there are "social" trips where there are no visuals, usually when in a group and experiencing the substance together, there I wouldn’t be able to tell LSD and Psylocybin apart. The feeling of shared being part of a shared consciousness, the cosmic laughter and the fractal thoughts can be the same with both substances. I'd say there is a psychedelic state of consciousness and many different substances (Psychedelics) will get you there, the experience will differ in nuances, but the general idea is the same. Keep in mind that in this state you are highly suggestible, so the environment will often do a lot more to shape the experience than the exact substance.

> Psychedelic trips with mushrooms and with LSD are very similar, often you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Having done both about a dozen times, this is not my experience or the experience that others have shared. Even a large dose of mushrooms only has subtle visual effects, while LSD makes the world look like a van Gogh painting.

  That's essentially what I was referring to in my upstream comment that made me think I'd taken lsd instead of mushrooms.

  I only had strong visuals with high doses of LSD, with a normal tab it’s usually more subtle for me, in a similar way as mushrooms. But visuals as strong as you describe I had only when I tried 25C-NBOMe. But there the mind trip was only barely present and the body feel was rather uncomfortable.

  Having done both far more than that, that's not my experience. I have had wildly visual mushroom trips (at higher dosages) and subtly visual LSD trips (at lower dosages). At comparable dosages and settings the main difference to me is just the duration. Mushrooms in particular are hard to standardize a dosage of. Eat enough of some strong ones and things get plenty visual.
