Potency diminished when fresh
    #15675175 - 01/16/12 07:28 PM (12 years, 5 months ago)

Has anyone else noticed that shrooms picked and eaten the same day seem to be weaker in potency than those allowed to dry completely?  I had quite a pile yesterday, but it was rather weak.  I suppose it could partly be tolerance, as I also ate some a week ago and Friday night.  This was the biggest batch, but it was significantly diminished in strength...I'm talking about B+

Not that there was no effect, but it was weak.  I expected level 4, and got level 2 if that.

mushrooms are have always been hit or miss for me, but i realized the contents of your stomach is very important. I trip best after i ate a solid meal and gave it 5 hours minimum to clear my stomach. Lots of fluids.
I dont think psilocybin can hide out till the mushrooms have dried out. Its there the whole time.

No.  If anything you'll lose some potency by drying.

I was on an empty stomach, though I had coffee earlier.  I'll chalk it up to tolerance and overexpectations.

Did you eat 10 times the dry weight?

I find them to be more potent wet.

Could be it was not 10 times the dry weight...looked significant, but looking and being can be two different things...

You would def have to eat about 10 times wet to dry weight. For the same amount. I have always found wet to be a good bit more potent then dry. And as for getting that many down. I like to put them in a food processor and add some oj and drink it down. Not much dif then oj with extra pulp. Then proceed to hang on and enjoy the ride. lol

There's a couple different ways to look at it. Technically, by mass/volume, dried shrooms are much more potent than wet. But there's still about the same amount of actives either way.

When you dry the shrooms, the fungal material becomes ridgid, allowing for them to be ground into a fine powder, which exposes a great deal more surface area to the stomach and digestive tract, thus allowing more actives to be immediately introduced into your blood stream.

The same result can be achieved with wet mushrooms by holding them in your mouth and chewing as long as you can, then swilling it down with some orange juice. The acidity in orange juice also seems to potentiate the absorbtion of the active compounds.

Either way, this is a bit off topic in the cultivation forum.
