Guesstimate my fresh shrooms' weight?

I picked the shrooms from a cake that is well ahead of the rest of my first batch. What I got was this:

I started drying them before I weighed them (like an idiot) and now can't find my scales anyway. I'd like to try some tonight and was wondering if, given the Zippo as a scale reference, someone could give me some indication of whether I have enough for a taste, and if possible, how many shrooms I might need to get a light effect (don't particularly want to trip tonight, just get a taste of what it's like).
Anyone able to help, or is it simply too inaccurate?

its really not worth it to just get a small taste i would say you have 45-50g wet there. if you ate them all you wouldn't be "fucked" but i would say level 4

nah i think thats between 2.5 and 3.5 grams dried.
an eighth of dried mushrooms fills my palm in a nice neat pile perfectly.
those mushrooms will shrink an assload when they dry. there is no way those wouldnt fit in my palm when dry.
its a good dose though.
the only way i can see them being more than 3.5g would be if they were extremely dense. but they look like normal shrooms which are hollow, as opposed to solid mutants.

What's not worth it?
And by taste, I meant level 2-ish.
So if I ate say 3-4 of the medium-sized shrooms, that might be a good starting point?

I also say that those would be between the 2-3g dried range. Personally, I can eat half an eigth(1.7gdried) and have a pretty awesome trip. Everybody's body reacts different. Eat em fresh

Cheers guys.
And I'm with you on the fresh bit; the dry ones smell very pungent, though not completely unpleasant, but the fresh ones taste great (I bit a 5x5mm piece off a small fresh cap.
But then I love mushrooms, period, so I suppose that might have something to do with it.
I'll post up later how it goes :3

Well, I've got a few CDs, starting with "We Are The Night" and "Brotherhood", and I'm about to drink my lemon tea (the lot, minus the four largest caps which I'm printing).
Wish me luck for my first trip :3

It's been exactly one hour. I am totally converted. Everything feels bright and good. I think a thousand thoughts an realise how silly each is as I try to tell my sitter.
I'm gonna go play in the gaia aquarium she's left tabbed for me and quit Shroomery for the night before I get myself into trouble >_>
My god this is an amazing feeling...

Well, tonight it's my time for my friend to try it. One good turn deserves another 
She's just drunk lemon/ginger/honey tea made with the four largest caps (which were set aside for printing).
Here's hoping she gets the best vibes; she was a really thoughtful sitter last night.
