You can get really sick from shrooms if you're allergic/take too much or the person you bought them off doesn't know what they're doing and is selling you bunk/poison shrooms. Small amount of LSD will acheive the same thing, plus no sickness :P

You should make sure though that you're actually getting LSD. There's certain knockoff substances that might be sold as LSD, like DOC, 2C-I, and DOB.
LSD and Mushrooms are completely different things. Mushrooms are more magical, mysterious, forbidden and strange where LSD is more focused and terrestrial, and less insightful comparatively speaking. It also tends to really wear your mind out where with Mushrooms you feel absolutely fantastic immediately after, and for days following that.
I found LSD more of a mind blowing experience, same with DMT. I did shrooms about 10x in highschool then once in University but felt like puking everytime. Maybe it's just me
I think they become more profound with age. I remember some highschool trips that were basically just very goofy exercises and not much more. Now, later, every trip seems to be utterly mindblowing.
