How to split a huge mushroom
#14339577 - 04/23/11 05:15 PM (12 years, 9 months ago) |

My boyfriend and I bought some shrooms the other day. One of the shrooms is huge; we weighed it and it's 11g. Neither of us wants to eat 11g by ourselves, we both want to eat an eighth each at most.
Is there a way I can split up the shroom so that we each eat an eighth and be able to save what's left for another trip?
Edit: Also, is the potency of the mushroom more concentrated in the root, stem, or head? The shroom has a HUGE root. If we were able to cut it into thirds, does it matter how we cut it as long as each third is the same weight?

Sure. Use a sharp knife and cut it into pieces. You can slice it right down the middle, or at least try, if you really want to try and get them equal. then cut equal parts off each of those halves until your happy.

well I don't see how a dry mushroom could possibly weigh 11g, so that means you bought wet shrooms? 11g wet is the equivalent to like 1g dry

Is this dry or fresh? 11g dry would be phenomenally large, I would love to see it. If it is not dry then 11g is a very small amount and will have possibly no effect when split between two people. If it is partly dry, then you should dry it out completely first in order to determine dosage.
With dry mushroom grind it up.
Caps are around 30% more potent than stems. Also, mushrooms do not have roots.

It's within the realm of possibility.
OP, I would just put them in a bag and crush them by hand. Just squeeze the bag and they'll break into more manageable pieces. If you want totally uniform potency, grind them in a coffee grinder or food processor/blender. They might degrade faster this way though.
Also, the concentration of active ingredients is consistent throughout the entire mushroom, but keep in mind that potency varies from mushroom to mushroom (moreso with multispore than clones, but you would have no way of knowing unless you knew the grower) and that smaller mushrooms contain more of the drug per gram than large mushrooms.

I've seen 7+ gram dry shrooms. I don't think 11 is impossible, but it must be massive. Probably has a really dense stem.

When you bend it, is it flexible or does it snap? If it's flexible then it isn't dry enough. 11g dry is tremendously weighty for a psilocybe. I am concerned that what you have is either: (A) Not a magic mushroom or (B) a partly dried magic mushroom.

Also, if you haven't seen "roots" on a mushroom, you haven't picked mushrooms. Yes, they are not roots. Any normal person would describe them as roots.

You don't get white stringy dangly bits hanging off the bottom of the mushroom that you pulled out of the substrate? Hairy dirty bits you trim off?

This is the only study into the matter which I know of, feel free to share with us other relevant studies:
http://www.shroomery.org/8755/Do-caps-or-stems-contain-more-psilocybin-psilocin
As you'll see, the findings are summarised as follows:
"...the caps were 30% more potent than stems."
OP refers to the 'HUGE' root of the mushroom, I think they're confusing it with the stem. And yes, I've seen the "roots" of mushrooms. Also, Shroomery - normal persons? Really?

Okay, but those little strings are wimpy, and wouldn't a dealer at least trim them?
I just don't think this shroom is legit 
besides, if this truly is an 11g dry mushroom, that single mushroom would cost like $60

I've already posted a link to a summary of the study in which that finding was made, but here it is again just for you: Do-caps-or-stems-contain-more-psilocybin-psilocin
Of course stems and caps contain differing and variable amounts of psilocin/psilocybin. But the fact remains, the only credible study into the matter found that - ON AVERAGE, caps are around 30% more potent than stems. I will not repeat myself anymore. I've done my part in trying to promote the only actual data we have relating to this tired old question.

This probably isn't fully dried, pretty hard to believe it's a single, 11 gram dried cubensis.

I would not be surprised at all with a cracker dry 7+ gram shroom, without any 'root'. The 'root' in this case might be a knot of myc that adds to the weight though.

im surprised no one even mentioned just slicing off the desired weight for 2 and dropping in a pot for tea ... you cant get any more uniform than that ...
11 grams dry in one mushroom is no bigs ... ive surpassed that more than a few times with ecuador and orissa , hell even PE a few times ...
i cant believe i even read this thread much less replied in it lol what the hell are they teaching in schools nowadays ? isnt division 3rd grade shit ?

i don't understand what is going on in this thread.
OP, post a pic of this mushroom so we can tell you if it's legit or not.
Also, it doesn't really matter which part of the mushroom you eat. The whole thing will make you trip.
