The various alkaloids in mushrooms are responsible for making you "high." The most common alkaloids found are psilocybin, psilocin, and baeocystin. http://erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms.shtml

It's the chemical properties of certain mushrooms. Some mushrooms and some other plants contain chemicals with hallucinogenic properties. Hallucinogens were found in nature before they were ever manufactured, and certain species of mushroom are one source, that's all. Hallucinations and the experience of tripping are just the way the brain reacts to those chemicals.

The entirety of a magic mushroom contains the active chemicals, primarily psilocin and psilocybin, that create the psychedelic effects. The mycelium of the fungus, which isn't part of the mushroom, has little of these active chemicals compared to the mushroom itself.

Is it true that the psilocybin mushrooms can make you go insane after large and repeated intakes of them?

Psilocybin mushrooms, are fungi that contain the medicinal compounds psilocybin and psilocin. A more danger is that poisonous (sometimes lethal) wild picked mushrooms can be easily mistaken for psilocybin mushrooms, but true psilocybin mushrooms are non-toxic. Magic mushrooms contain psilocin and psilocybin psilocybin. These compounds are psychedelics. They will cause an effect similar to a "trip" on LSD. Loss of reality may be experienced and severe anxiety and paranoia can occur. You may experience a bad trip.
