estimated dry weight?

It took a huge pile of these to register 1 g on a digital kitchen scale. I don't think the scale was working, or the shrooms were unusually dry. They were dehydrated at 95°F for 7 hours, then placed in a sealed desiccant chamber with a fan and damprid for 10 hours.
Can you estimate the weight by looking at them?

There's nothing in the picture from which to get an idea of their relative size.
Even if there was, I wouldn't be able to eyeball it, but maybe someone else could.

Take a picture next to a quarter or penny or lighter or something.

I would say maybe 7 grams or a quarter maybe little less. I would eat half

Looks to be about a quarter ounce, but like others said, we need a size comparison.

Here's another one with a quarter. Thanks.

Edit: Are there any scales that are accurate in the gram range that cost less than $50?

Old Will Knott Scales are great and for a great price. Also, that looks more like an eighth to me, maybe less. I could be very wrong though.

The first picture looks like more than the second picture. It looks like there are more mushrooms in the first one. The second definitely looks more like an eighth, possibly a little bit more.

Didn't even compare them, but there are definitely way less in that second picture.

If they are dry, and you cant get scales, grind them them to a powder and chuck em in some "00" sized capsules.
I can fit 2 grams in 5 capsules.
