From what I remember for me the fear tended to be more of a come-on panic that passed relatively quickly before you entered into the trip properly. It wasn't a weed style paranoia/fear about "someone coming", more a phase of fear itself that relaxed into hours hours of absurdity... Although I never really did them in an urban environment (our consensus as small town teens was that it would be a bad thing to be away from nature) and was half as old (ie less shit to worry about). I never had a bad trip or even a half bad trip. There was just an occasional 15 minute fear wave every couple of times we did it. To call mushrooms weird is an understatement. They are kind of infinitely weird in an ever renewing way. Yeah, if you're not getting your head fucked you're doing it wrong. Completely and utterly wrong. A proper dose of mushrooms can have you gibbering on the ground unable to speak because your mind is in a lucid fire as it experiences the universe pushing you into the earth and it hasn't left any neurons spare for shallow things like co-ordinating your lips and tongue to make words.
