too much weight loss??
    #13021833 - 08/08/10 01:53 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

Hey all,

I had 156 fresh grams columbian magic mushrooms and I've perfectly dried them and they are 11 grams now. They decreased to their %7.4 which means %93 is water. is this possible? or should I be suspcious about who's in my home coming and going?
thanks.

90% is just a rough number, it can be a little more or less

Dudes nobody knows?

Can 156 grams of fresh shrooms decrease to 11 grams when dried?

It's quite much important.

Not possible.  Your home has been compromised by a mushroom-eating something-or-other.

I would look for caterpillar footprints, and question any large, psychedelic-looking caterpillars you find nearby.

Don't blame anybody, calm down, don't be paranoid.  What we're trying to tell you is that they lose a lot of weight.  Anywhere around 90%.

I doubt anyone will be able to give you an exact number.  This is biology, plenty of different factors will make it inexact.

Didn't you count the shrooms?

Rule 1 if you have people in your house you don't trust: Always count everything; twice.

That, and that sounds like a reasonable amount of weight to lost when drying. Weed is terrible for weight loss during drying/curing, and thats about as much of an extent as I know really, apart from drying libs, and I just eat them by numbers, rather than weight.

"According to the USDA Nutrient Database, mushrooms are already 92.5% water by weight..."

Mushrooms, portabella, raw: brings you to a screen where you can enter 100 grams as the base unit, displaying a table that clearly shows 92.82 listed as water content.

I find 93% is generally most accurate for estimating dried conversion :money:

ive got recorded weights as low as 82% h2o and as high as 93%.
90% is an estimate, as several have told you.
its not exactly 90% everytime and every shroom, water weight is variable.
if your misting right up untill the end, that might be the culprit.

or, some asshole is stealing single doses from you. lace them with datura tea and you'll know who it is in a few hours.  :hauntingguy2:
