Before:
After (now):
You can zoom on both of these quite a bit. The leftmost cake isn't fruiting at all (any suggestions?) so I left it out of the after pic. Lookin like some nice fruits so far. I've already picked 7.6g dried before I put them into the terrarium. Thinkin of taking 15g wet tonight for my first ever trip. Wet is more potent than dry, otherwise I'd take 2g dry.
Also, see the shroom at the very bottom?? That was a piece of substrate that fell off, but I put it in there as an experiment to see if that small piece would grow a shroom. In the last 4 hours, the shroom has gotten so big it's flipped itself over.
The leftmost cake in the bottom picture was the last to fruit, but appears to be having the most pins so far.
I'm excited!

They are. I took 13g wet last night, which is less than I was going to take (15g wet). What a fuckin night. I was scared shitless for the first hour of the trip. My stomach was churning, I was way too anxious, hungry, and felt sick. I couldn't find a balance. I almost threw up when I chewed up some Tums, but after I get them down, I felt fine. Certainly a strange drug. It was kinda cool.

"Thinkin of taking 15g wet tonight for my first ever trip. Wet is more potent than dry, otherwise I'd take 2g dry."
Those two wouldn't balance out at all then...

bacha....if you have a 10 gram wet mushroom...it will, give or take a little, weigh down to one gram, wet:dry ratio is 10=1 so 15 grams wet would equal 1.5 grams dry.
The reason that fresh mushrooms are "stronger" is because when you eat mushrooms, the chemical psylocibin gets turned into psilocin by your body which then reacts with the receptors in your brain i believe.(I am by NO MEANS a human biologist, this is just MY understanding of the process)a Fresh mushroom already has BOTH psilocin AND psylocybin , but when you dry the mushrooms the active psilocin is destroyed by the drying process. Thusly leaving only the psylocybin and no more psilocin. Thats why 15 grams of fresh mushrooms might equal to 2 grams dried.
This is only my understanding, if it is wrong please feel to inform, but this is what i gathered from reading posts and information.

ahhh I see I always thought that you take way less wet mushrooms then you would dry but I'm sorry if I offended anyone I was just a bit confused

So the psylocin reacts immediately and directly with your body, while the psylocybin has to be converted by your body?

Yup, the psilocin is the active substance that people "trip" off of. As stated above, both psilocin and psilocybin are in a fresh mushroom. However, psilocin is not stable and will react with oxygen in the air and because it is a indole it will turn blue (hence the blueing on a mushshroom when brused) The lucky thing here is that psilocybin is stable enough that it will be preserved when dried, otherwise everyone would be required to eat fresh mushroom:) One should note that the psilocybin is not completely non-reactive and will break down with oxygen, and this reaction is sped up if heat is involved as a catalyst. (so store your dried mushrooms in a sealed container in a cool dark place) puggy

Yeah, mine are cracker dry, wrapped in 2 paper towels, in a ziplock, in a tupperware, in the freezer. Those bitches are staying potent damn it! I'm toying with the idea of making chocolates. It degrades potency, but when you have more shrooms than you know what to do with, I guess who cares, right?
