It’s not just one thing, it has phases. At first it’s nothing, for long enough that you wonder if it’s going to do anything.
Then it starts to kick in and it feels like you’re on the edge of a panic attack or that you’re almost (but not quite) sick - your heart races and your breathing quickens and you feel weird but not high. This part can sometimes be a bit scary for people. What makes you high from mushrooms is a poison and this is your body's initial response. It’s normal, and it passes.
When you finally do feel high it’s not a moment but a realization that you've already been high, and it feels good. You’re energetic. You hallucinate but it’s not like on tv or movies - you don’t see things that don’t exist or mistake things for other things. What happens is colours are more vivid and you notice movement and patterns in the things around you.
Time moves slowly. You feel that world around you is connected, and that you’re a part of it. You’re euphoric, and it feels right. You feel happy. It doesn’t feel normal but it feels natural, if that makes sense. It feels like you’re actually experiencing the world, like it’s making sense in a way it never has. It feels spiritual and peaceful and you're awestruck. You feel like a child, full of wonder, like you’re discovering the world around you for the first time.
That lasts a long time, and then it all fades slowly until it’s gone. After, you feel physically drained, your body needs to recover and expel the rest of the poison. You need to have time to recover before continuing your normal activities.
But long after the euphoria and the high and the physical feelings are gone, you'll remember how connected you felt to the world around you, and you are left with a feeling of contentment about your experience that can last for days.

I had some on pizza that were good but I'm not sure they could be classified as magic.
