Why do Magic Mushrooms make you see colors?

Answer 1

They "short circut" your brain, normaly your brain is a neural network where signals come in from your eyes or other source, taste, touch ect. and your brain processes them and then sends out signals to your body. Under the influance of halucinagins though "extra" signals can get added, or the original signal can get rerouted, so a sound can seem like a color.

A discription I read is that you can think of your brain as an infant as an upside down jello cake. As you age data inputs carve paths onto the cake, just as if you had poured hot water on the cake. This carves paths that will guide the next batch of hot water, making the paths deeper. Some drugs like magic mushrooms will cause the paths to join or part regardless of where they went before changing the pattern temporarily. That is why these drugs should be used very carefuly, as Timothy Leary said "Set, and Setting" remember that using them will change things in your head, and the eviroment and state of mind in which you use them will determine the direction of that change.

Answer 2

As with many hallucinogens, the sensory effects are often the most dramatic of the experience. Common doses cause effects such as a noticeable feeling of heaviness, relaxation, enhancement and contrasting of worldly colors, strange light phenomena (such as auras around lights sources), surfaces that seem to ripple, shimmer, or breathe, and other such visual hallucinations.

Higher doses elicit a variety of intensified and distinct perceptual changes: complex open and closed eye visuals of form constants or images, objects that warp, morph, or change solid colors (juxtaposed with the free-flowing colors of LSD), a sense of melting into the environment, trails behind moving objects, and auditory hallucinations.

Natural and artificial sounds seem to be heard with increased clarity; music, for example, can often take on a profound sense of cadence and depth. Intriguingly, some users speak about the feeling of their senses overlapping or synesthesia, a rather interesting experience wherein the user perceives, for example, a visualization of color upon hearing a particular sound. The surface detail of everyday objects is viewed with increased acuity. Unusual natural designs, such as wood grain, flow like rivers. Interesting textures can be quite stimulating to some users. A simple action such as pouring water into a glass can be extremely visually stimulating.



Most of this is caused by the toxins in the mushroom.

Answer 3

The neurobiology of hallucinogens is incompletely understood. However, it is likely that psilocybin, the active component in mushrooms, acts on the higher centers of the cerebral cortex that function in visual processing, and give the sensation of enhanced color vision or even the perception of phantom or false colors.
