What happens to your nervous system after taking magic mushrooms?

The active compounds in magic mushrooms (and their metabolites, as psilocybin is metabolized into psilocin, which is also present in the mushrooms) bind to a specific serotonin receptor in the brain, the 5-HT2A receptor. Activation of this receptor leads to the psychedelic effects through poorly understood mechanisms. Contrary to fairly widespread belief, these compounds have not been shown to be neurotoxic or cause damage to the brain.

Why do chemicals in the magic mushroom make you hallucinate?

The primary psychoactive in "magic mushrooms" is Psilocybin. Upon ingestion, the Psilocybin molecule is broken down into Psilocin. Psilocin is a tryptamine-based serotonin agonist, binding to serotonin receptors in the same manner as the serotonin naturally produced by the brain. When occurring on a large enough scale, this binding action affects the brain's processing of incoming sensory data, producing distortions that can range from subtle to profound.
