Mushrooms are a hallucinogen and more than likely you're not going to find mushrooms as your gateway drug to other drugs.
Judging by the mindset you've already set up for yourself now, don't do it. They're not going to kill you, not going to leave you paralyzed, not going to do anything horrible to you. However, if you have that mindset of "I'm not sure I want to try them", then don't because you'll just end up freaking out and ruining everyone else's experience along with yours.
Vibes and a positive mindset are everything for drugs.Health Question & Answer

Mushrooms are potentially quite dangerous. Yeah, maybe you'll do it once, have a good time and no problems. However, the risk is substantial.
The problem is that the psychoactive agent (psilocybin) is found in very small amounts in the mushrooms. If we were using it as a medical drug, we'd extract the drug, carefully measure the amount and tailor it to the patient. With mushrooms, though, you can't tell how much is in the mushroom itself. While efforts would normally be made to dry the mushrooms, carefully weigh them and give you an amount based on your weight, no one knows how the unique growing conditions of that mushroom affected the strength of the drug in it.
From one mushroom to the next, the variation can be substantial. Typically 0.5% to 2.25% of the dry mushroom is the active drug. You have no way of knowing ahead of time if you have the weakest or one that is four and a half times as concentrated. One might have too little for you to even notice a "trip", the next one might be deadly strong. Consider if you would take aspirin this way: you might be taking 2 aspirin tablets, or it might be 9. We're not sure.
In carefully controlled studies that most pro-legalization types will push, the dosage was carefully cotrolled. The studies didn't use mushrooms from some unknown source, weighed by your 18 year old friend who "has done this lots of times". Instead, they use strictly controlled amounts of the active agent, extracted from mushrooms grown in a lab. Nevertheless, about 25% of those in studies had a "bad trip".
A quite serious risk comes from the fact that so many species of mushrooms exist that you really have to trust your source knows that they are giving you the mushroom they think they are. Toxic and harmless mushrooms do not grow with helpful labels to tell you which is which. Your average drug dealer is already engaged in a criminal enterprise and probably doesn't employ a quality control department to ensure happy, healthy customers.
Long term effects are hard to guage as the studies have mostly been short term. Reports include visual effects ("trailing"), light induced migranes (from bright lights or flashing light), impared memory, delayed fine motor reactions and such.
Most studies seem to indicate little true addiction, but an increased tolerance (needing larger amounts of the drug for future trips). As with any drug from, ultimately, unknown sources, you don't know what you are getting, where they got it from or how it was grown.Health Question & Answer
