Thank you so much for this. Of course, nothing is perfect and everyone is different. But I, a 35 year old woman, approx 70kg, have found this calculator pretty darn accurate. I%u2019ve used it for four different trips now and it%u2019s been spot on for all. 

Also, everyone needs to keep in mind that mushrooms are a food source and all of our guts and microbiomes are different. Many people have sensitives to the polyols in mushrooms, especially if you just eat them dry. As someone with IBS, I don%u2019t eat straight up, dried porcini mushrooms and nor do I eat psylocybe subs dried.  

I do dry my mushrooms, but blitz them to a powder and make a tea with ginger, peppermint and a teabag of %u2018tension tamer%u2019. A bit of lemon for tekking%u2026 goes down well.

Hey another thing,  I'm not sure how to figure the math out for this, but it takes me about 5.5 grams for a "level 3-4" trip , and it recommends ~4.9 grams for a level 5,  is there any possibility of seeing the math involved, or being able to adjust trip level presets?

can we get Penis Envy added as a type?
OR does anyone know what math i can do to compensate?

So haven't done shrooms in decades, and in my waning and painful years noticed the whole prospect of growing my own, and am on that road.   Certain, of course, that what I'm actually growing is going to kill me, I decided I should taste one, just one, shroom to see if it was toxic.  Actually, I ate a part of the stem, waited an hour, then ate the rest of it.  I can't say it totally agreed with my stomach, but don't think it's killing me.  Overall I'd say what I ate was miniscule though, (probably less than .1 grams dry?) and yet, I did notice some visuals after the 90 mins, though only glancing.  The thing is though that as the hours are passing, about 4 hours later, I'm sort of experiencing a very stoned effect, not unsimilar to other 4 hour later memories that I have had after taking hallucinogens...  Can't comment on the calculator per se, but a small amount actually appears to have some perceptible effect.

What is considered a micro dose?

I put to doubt the validity of this calculator. As it is not stated or attached where the information in regards to is psilocin and psilocybin concentrations was taken from. For sclerotia in particular de differences seem to be quite wrong. As from one type of sclerotia to another the differences are enormous. And as far as i am concerned dry sclerotia is about 2/3 the potency of a dry mushroom

I've got a couple questions:

So recommended dosage has nothing to do with body weight?

If you're doing cubensis, does the recommended dosage have nothing to do with which strain?

Are the alkaloids degraded that much (20% for psilocybin, and 50% for psilocin) immediately upon drying, or is that just what to expect from the average condition of dried shrooms? And where do these figures come from?

I am confused as to why the trip level only goes to 5. I just had half a kilo in a tea and I'm at level 500

I got pre-mature pinning in a few jars and pulled them and put in the fridge in a plastic bag. Any idea how effective they may be?

Can't knock it till you try it, I've tried it and it worked alright.

The 2 things everyone is complaining about are body weight and fresh dosage. first off body weight is not or is a very very minimal factor with shrooms so dont worry about that. and yes the fresh dosage is right, you can eat 30g's of fresh and not get the same high as 3.5g of dry, almost all the weight in fresh is water.

The user cpljwlusmc is an idiot, i'm sorry but 22 wet grams of p. cubensis isn't much, its just 2.2 dry grams. the mushrooms are 90% water and the water is not necessarily hallucinogenic and it certainly isn't in dry mushrooms (which are very potent) so 2.2dry and 22wet will give you the same trip 
Posted by Garrett91 (06/25/12 12:35 AM)
Yeah mushrooms are around 80% water or something like that so that would count for most of the weight when they are fresh :)

"This thing can't be right. It's telling me, with a dosage of fresh shrooms, I need to take 22 grams. This would melt my brain. Fix the calculator before someone goes insane." psilocybe cubensis mushrooms have an average water content of about 90% so doses with fresh mushrooms are thus ten times larger than for dried" this is somewhere on this site tells you all about it.

I ate 6grams last Friday, and it was fuckin awesome, but I've tripped harder...Much harder, and off of less. Perhaps I just have a high Psilocybin tolerance, Or my weight is a factor. I weigh 260. I'm about to eat 60 grams fresh and see what happens. I'll report back later.

22g fresh mushrooms is only 2.2 grams dried. So you are wrong and it is not broken.

"The number of synapses are more or less the same in a 5'2" 120 lbs girl and a 6'2" 300 lbs guy. Get your facts straight. People reacting different to the same amount of mushrooms has to do with various things, but body weight isn't one of them. " Quote from German Kahuna

This works perfect, however, I used these values and another multiplier based on the LD50 value for bodyweight calculations.

IF you add body weight this scale would be nearly perfect
but thanks for taking the time m8

Good little piece of programming IMHO.

Two words:   body weight.   How can any dosage calculator be complete without it?   Body weight is probably the most important variable in estimating dosage, and this calculator doesn't even hint at it.

Also, what do we mean by levels, other than 1 is threshold and 5 is completely blasted?
