I'm not even sure about the dose. The friend who gave me the baggy of dried azures said it was a little less than 1/4 and recommended eating about 1/4 of the bag. I eyeballed it as best I could but may have ended up eating 1/3 or so. I noticed that a couple of them seemed to have an almost moldy/mildew taste to them, but I've never had wild mushrooms before so I assumed it was normal.
I definitely though I was "coming up" prematurely, because when it did happen I was so lightheaded I thought I might black out. My heart felt like it was racing, I forced myself to take some deep breaths and try to stay calm. I felt very tired, shivery/cold, dreamy and my body very heavy, achey, and crampy. Also, as often happens to me with shrooms my nose was itchy and I felt very congested, almost like an allergy. (In retrospect I wonder if this could be a mold reaction?) These physical feelings lasted the entire trip.
The psytrance music at the party was loud and I spent the entire trip wishing I could get away from it and escape. I felt subconscious because everyone around me was so active and I actually felt "drunk" on the mushrooms. The movement and stomping feet of the other party-goers around me often felt very panicked/frantic, like a school of fish suddenly and frequently moving en masse to escape a potential predator. At some point I thought my body discomfort might be due to needing to pee, so I got up and went to the bathroom and I saw the wildest effects in the cement floor. It was alive, in constant unearthly motion, spots appearing like drops of water, pulsing and fading.
The closed-eye visuals were extremely abstract and hard to describe. My brain felt broken, everything was incredibly fragmented and I couldn't find the tiniest piece of reality to anchor myself; it wasn't the normal introspective, peaceful, thought-provoking trip I'm used to, instead I couldn't hold on to any thought or word or action, even something as simple as getting up to get a drink of water or pee seemed excessively complicated. When my eyes were open, I found even the minimal lighting was too bright and I had a very hard time focusing.
Looking at the trip descriptions, I think this was at least a Level 4 for me, which is the furthest I've ever gone on any psychedelic. I think in a different environment (ie, less stimulating) I might have enjoyed it more. Being in an unfamiliar and chaotic environment made for a much rougher ride.

I tried dried cyans once and your report reminds me of that trip.
The effects began very quickly, my body felt very heavy, the visuals were excellent but the experience was a bit too overwhelming.
I can imagine a psytrance party is probably a bit too stimulating for a heavy trip, so I'd agree with your comment at the end. I've never tried shrooms in a club/party environment but I can see the appeal - I'm sure a small dose would enhance the music & lighting effects.
