There are many diffrent species of psychoactive mushrooms, however the most common is Psilocybe Cubensis.

Typically they will be sold, dried, in 1/8 oz bags containing the stems and caps (caps contain the most psychoactive content). However they are sometimes sold inside of chocolate shapes.

They are most typically eaten, however some people report short term effects from smoking them.

Answer 2

They look like dried mushrooms, they vary greatly in size, from tiny little stems with a small cap, to large 1' long stems with big caps. They are LBMs, little brown mushrooms, and are therefore very hard to identify, they look like many other mushrooms, some are edible, some highly toxic, and some absolutly indistinguishable from one another, do not try to identify them in the wild, as toxic mushrooms that look identical may be growing in the same area, and there's no way to tell them appart. They have white stems, often stained blue from bruising, and are usually sold dry.

For pictures of fresh and dried mushrooms, take a look at http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_images.shtml

Erowid.org is a great site for information on all kinds of psychoactive substances, and has a vast resource of magic mushroom information.
