SheriffJoeArpaio said: The caps are inherently more dense in mass but the corresponding stem probably has the same amount of Psilocybin / weight.
However, it really depends on the type of cubensis(more importantly the species of mushroom.)
Closed caps strains will be fairly even throughout because their caps don't open / bloom late.
Mushrooms will stop producing Psilocybin when the caps open. If are you growing open cap strains, it's very important to watch for this and pick the ones that open first. The stems tend to grow faster than the caps so this will cause a phenomenon that will cause stems to have a lower amount of Psilocybin per gram than the caps.
Shady (or just unaware) growers will try and get them to grow as big as possible causing the mushrooms to have a low potency per gram if they are growing open caps. (Ever got that reeeaaally big mushroom with an open cap that didn't seem to make you trip enough? Yeah.)
Hope this settles the issue.
Closed Cap - Very potent http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1c/DriedPcubensis2.jpg/325px-DriedPcubensis2.jpg
Open Cap - Not so potent http://thebutterflydiaries.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/dried_cubensis.jpg

This is my entry for worst advice of 2012.

Impsychosocial5 said: I thought it was pretty easy to tell the difference between the stem high and the cap high just by observing different trips. If anyone wants to figure it out for themselves all you really need to do is eat a balance of stem and cap (ex. 3g stem 2g cap depending on how much you're. capable of doing) and observe how things move, expand, spin, etc. then next time do 5g's of stem and repeat the process. You will notice you're trip isn't as intense as when you had cap but its still a good trip. Then the next time do all cap, 3-5g's depending on how often you've done it. You will notice the high is pretty intense, even to intense to enjoy. But be carful when doing an all cap high because caps can be pretty intense and you can find yourself having trouble thinking straight for a long time or you may even black out, and of course it's never good to be blacked out or around someone who is blacked out cause you can be very destructive when you're walking around making no memory of things.
It's better to research you're ideas and get an answer then to argue and get no where.
If this is what you call research, please never get a job with any more importance than the service industry.
Psychedelics are very subjective. Your results mean absolutely nothing. You don't even have a control.
The way to figure it out is to separate the cap and stem, extract both separately and see what comes out. And that test has been done. They showed about .01% more psilocybin in the cap, and that was about it. Nothing you'd ever notice until you get into doses that are too big to physically eat.

Impsychosocial5 said: Just because you can't tell the difference without numbers doesn't mean I can't. You're just speaking out of ignorance like a child. Mushrooms effect others differently, and just because your to stupid to be able to observe on mushrooms doesn't mean others can't. Then again most people that listen to tap can't observe at all, even sober.
I promise that I've eaten more psilocybin in general, and more active species than you have. If you can't find some hard data to back up your claim, then your argument is invalid.
Psychedelics are subjective. You cannot give a proper qualitative analysis between caps and stems. It just can't be done.
