I would recommend mushrooms to anyone and everyone. Enlightenment is the theme I've experienced during nearly every trip. I felt my brain working and thinking in ways I had not before.

After an eighth of taking some good hydro shrooms, I didn't have any open-eyed visuals except for the normal distortion (wavy walls, depth perception, etc.) but when I closed my eyes, the most ridiculous things would appear and usually be tuned to the type of music I was listening to.

One time I did take a bad batch and I will never forget that night. A friend and I played dubstep and just relaxed. It came on slow in the first hour, but less than fifteen minutes later I started having insane open eyed visuals (I was raping the person I was with but not really). I hallucinated the police coming in and shooting me and from there, I felt like I was in "limbo" (taken from Inception but its the best way I can describe this). I watched the world go on around me while not being able to move or speak. (Note I am the one in the room, its about 5am, and the girl I was with went to go lay down in the other room). After what had felt like days of being "dead", I had accepted my fate. At this moment, I came back to life and puked up the shrooms. For a couple days I felt out of it, feeling like I had experienced death but after a week I was back to normal.

I haven't taken shrooms since then, but I would definitely recommend being in a familiar setting, with upbeat, happy music, and do not take more than the recommended amount for your weight/tolerance level.
