impossible to truly tell how many grams from one cake. roughly dry weight is 10% of wet weight, so 10 grams fresh would be one gram dry (once again roughly)

I can get up to 80 grams wet off one good cake. Average weight is about 60 though. 10% is correct, 80 wet = 8 dry.

Where does everyone get 10% from? I usually get 6.5-8.5% of wet weight. I noticed that more mature mushrooms have more water and dry out to less % wise.

I find 92% water is about right for nicly grown mushrooms.
10% is just easier then saying 6.5-8.5%..then people go...well how the fuck much does that mean then.
10% is only a guideline..no one ever wrote anything in stone. Every mushroom will vary too depending on strains, conditions, substrates, and just be different from shroom to shroom.
Also that is said to be a good conversion because if your drying them and your weighing them fresh to figure out the dry weight, your being impatient...just dry the damn things then weigh them Most weigh them fresh for the reason of consuming them that way. That extra 2-4% of water you lose when drying them, is (give or take) the psilocin you lose (inevitably, even without heat) too. So fresh shrooms may have a little more water then 90% but they have more psilocin then dry shrooms to make up for it so eating 30 grams fresh is equal to eating 3 grams dry, even though it may have dried to 2.6-2.8 grams..get it?

It depends on so much. I heard someone yesterday saying they had just harvested 30g wet off of one cake. Generally, I think you can expect 2-5g dry per cake, possibly even more.

Averages . On an average mushrooms are 90% water so once dried you are left with an average of 10% solid matter . The more meatier the species , the more dry weight you should get once dried .
By the way if looking for scales , right now everthinghome.com is having a sale on such items , and they have several that are very reasonable in price and quality . GL

That is odd , I have bought lots of stuff from them , they are just a supplier of many products , thus they get good prices due to volumes they sell .And they o not spam my inbox , with exception of telling of sales on particular items , like scales right now .HMM wonder my credit card had their name as biller instead of some other linked company Does this also make Wal mart a spam company ?

Depends on the growing conditions...0 to 9 dry grams on 1 cake per flush...and large flushes will effect the size and or number of later flushes.
Depends on the water content of the mushrooms...this 10 to 1 ratio is really not reliable. 10 wet grams isn't = to 1 dry gram always...its more of a guideline, like others have said.
Good luck!~
