There are various ways to ingest mushrooms. Having said that - let me assure you, the problem is not just from the fibers it's very well the substance itself. One reason is the activation of serotonin receptors of which there are huge numbers in your gut.

Interesting. I think LSD works on Serotonin too? But it has much less body load in my experience (at least, the unpleasant kind I associate with psilocybin).

Yes, absolutely. LSD shows mostly a higher binding affinity to the various 5HT-receptors.

Anecdotally, I find that consuming the mushrooms in fresh ginger tea help with stomach discomfort.

I have heard that LSD can cause stomach cramping with people who already are prone to stomach issues/IBS/etc. Not something I've personally experienced.
