MAOIs can greatly potentiate the effects of magic mushrooms. Thus, the combination is dangerous and can cause unpleasant or even harmful effects, depending on the amount taken, the specific MAOI, etc.
THE BIGGEST DANGER ASSOCIATED WITH PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS, IS THE DANGER OF BEING ARRESTED FOR HAVING THEM.
Psilocybin is one of the safest, least toxic natural substances known to man. NO ONE HAS EVER DIED FROM OVERDOSE. Of course, you don't want to be driving or doing anything that relies on reflex or reaction.
Any stories of "poisoning" are confusing psilocybin mushrooms with something that must've been mistaken for psilocybin mushrooms. AMINITA MUSCARIA mushrooms (the red cap with white-spots, smurf-houses) are NOT PSOLICYBIN containing mushrooms! I DO NOT RECOMMEND AMINITA MUSCARIA.
When buying them dried, from black-market sources- you risk the danger of them being some other deadly mushroom. You also risk the chance they have been contaminated by mold. And let's not forget the legal chances your taking.
If you feel you MUST experience these mushrooms, the safest way by far, would be to learn to identify them in the wild, or legally order the spores and grow them yourself. BUT, AS SOON AS YOU PICK THEM IN THE WILD (with the exception of Florida), or TOUCH THOSE SPORES TO WATER OR ANY KIND OF GROWING MEDIUM, YOU ARE COMMITTING A FELONY!
I have seen them grown easily and the results were stellar, but I personally wouldn't be able to enjoy myself if I knew I had an illegal mushroom garden that could send me to jail.
Psilocybin-containing mushrooms are psychedelic hallucinogens of the tryptamine class.
Psilocybin mushrooms, are fungi that contain the medicinal compounds psilocybin and psilocin. A more danger is that poisonous (sometimes lethal) wild picked mushrooms can be easily mistaken for psilocybin mushrooms, but true psilocybin mushrooms are non-toxic. Magic mushrooms contain psilocin and psilocybin psilocybin. These compounds are psychedelics. They will cause an effect similar to a "trip" on LSD. Loss of reality may be experienced and severe anxiety and paranoia can occur. You may experience a bad trip.

No, in psilocybin mushrooms, there is a milder hallucinogenic agent called, obviously, psilocybin. Mescalin is stronger (proportional to how much you are taking) and it is commonly found in a cactus.
