What negative effects does magic mushrooms have on your body?
While you are high, you can become paranoid and start to freak out, especially if you are in a crowded, noisy place.
After the high is over, you may experience residual effects ("flashbacks"), but these are usually mild and are not necessarily unpleasant, and they will go away after awhile (you will not experience flashbacks for the rest of your life).
The flashbacks tend to occur after you physically exert yourself. For about 3 years after the last time I took mushrooms, I would start to trip again, just a little bit, after I went running. It was a mild effect, though, and really very pleasant and enjoyable.
The desire to alter one's consciousness is a perfectly natural, normal one. It starts at a very young age: when we're kids, we run around in circles and make ourselves dizzy, just to enjoy the head rush. Or we lean all the way back while on the swings, so the earth and sky seem to spin around. As we get older, we find other ways to alter our consciousness: some people enjoy the adrenaline rush of extreme sports like skydiving, or the post-exercise "high" you get after a good workout. Others like to drink alcohol, or smoke marijuana, or take other drugs.
The high you get from hallucinogenics can be a very profound thing. I know that sounds all hippie-drippy, but that's just the way I feel. Mushrooms don't literally make you hallucinate -- meaning, you don't start seeing stuff that isn't there, or not seeing stuff that is there (unless you eat a whole, whole lot of them). Rather, everything seems to move and shift and stretch and ripple and pulse. For example, a dirt road might look like a moving river of dirt, or all the flowers on a bush might look like they're rotating in circles. It's more than a high, it's an experience that you never forget. Unless, of course, you have a lot of bad, unhappy thoughts at the forefront of your mind, in which case it will just make you dwell on all those bad thoughts, and magnify them in your mind, and you'll be miserable.

Watch out for these clues:
*seems dizzy and might have trouble walking.
*giggly and stupid (randomness too) for no apparent reason.
*smells funny.
*has a hard time remembering things that just happened.
*REALLY sleepy afterwards.

No, it is neither meat, i.e. belonging to the Animalia kingdom, nor vegetable or plant, i.e. belonging to the Plantae kingdom.
It is, like yeast, a fungi, i.e a member of the Fungi kingdom, and so pays fealty to the Fungi Monarch, King Marmitus Penicillius Roqueforti XVII.
Genetic studies have shown that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants.
