Is LSD the drug in shrooms?

Nope.
LSD and shrooms are two different kinds of drugs.
Shrooms are a kind of mushroom (I believe the official name is Psilocybin mushroom), people will eat them to get certain effects ;D

LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) is a different drug (also known as acid). It is manmade, compared to schrooms being "nature-made", lol. It is taken it "pill form" or "liquid form" or something.

They are both psychedelics, though. Meaning they're hallucinogens.

no LSD was discovered by a doctor looking for medication that would help to clot the bleeding of women after childbirth. He randomly found the chemical on mold from bread, and then the psychology community got a hold of it and believed it would benefit the world of psychiatry, eventually LSD was leaked from the lab and is known to most now as acid.

Shrooms contain the drug Psilocybin, and while they are in some ways similar, acid is far stronger

no, lsd is synthetic, shrooms are natural, but i see why you would think it is because shrooms and acid have a similar effect.
