Although magic mushrooms (mushrooms containing psilocybin and related compounds) are not generally dangerous on their own, several safety issues arise from magic mushroom use.

Firstly, if the mushrooms are wild-picked, one may have mistaken poisonous mushrooms for magic mushrooms. If the mushrooms are bought off the street, the dealer may have simply soaked store-bought mushrooms in another hallucinogen (or the mushrooms may be a poisonous species). Therefore, it is essential to know exactly what mushroom you are taking.

Even if one takes genuine magic mushrooms, it is important to be with someone else and in a safe environment. Accidents or self-harm may result if one is not properly prepared for the mushroom experience. Those with mental health issues or a family history of such issues should not engage in magic mushroom use, as magic mushrooms may precipitate or exacerbate mental health problems.

Finally, magic mushrooms are illegal in most places and using them could result in severe legal consequences.
