Since you have some experience with psychedelics, you prob don't wanna skimp on the dose. Maybe take around 3 grams?
As far as the difference between LSD and Psilocybin, you're just gonna have to find out for yourself for the most part. LSD is longer lasting in higher doses and for me, more of a lucid experience. The visuals from LSD also seem to be stronger.
Shrooms seem to be more spiritual and possibly emotional in nature

Try making a tea and you shouldn't have much nausea, if any at all. For starting, maybe around 2 grams.

I'd suggest you don't eat too much food prior to taking shrooms, at least 2~3 hours prior.

If you make a tea use about 1.5 dried grams I think that would be a good dose.
If you eat them don't eat anything for 2 hours before dosing. I'd say eat 2.5 or 3 dried grams.

you seem like you have good experiance with psyches and it sounds like you want too have a good full experiance. if you have cubensis i would start at an eigth and work my way up from there.
-------------------- its that bitter-sweet-sour, electric-smooth-twang. everything you ever have, are. or will feel along with every emotion, joy, hate, love, fear or aspiration burning down your nerves and into the fabric of your place in this existence at ten thousand degrees above and below zero will you find yourself wondering if you've been dead or alive this whole time. being born over and over only to die over and over hoping the wheel stops in the same place it started when you spun it, and when it finally does and you can step back and take a nice deep breath you realize how beautiful life is, remember, wake up to the most beautiful day of your life every single day, its just the way.

I can't tell you that this is right and that is wrong. I can just share my own approach.
I had been interested in shrooms since my early 20s. Back then mostly because it sounded fun.
But it wasn't till now 34 that I tried them last week.
Now, you seem to be way more advanced than me, but my approach was to do a lot of reading, prepping and then I fell in love with the level / calculator after having read trip reports from other people and how their experience had been.
After all that reading I knew that despite the many "start low" advice given here and there, I wanted to go far the first time, and I'm happy I did.
Having read more during this past week, I accept that the level system is somewhat flawed and is merely a loose guideline. Anyways, I landed around a level 4-ish.
I used the calculator and came to the conclusion that 2g Liberty Caps (somewhat between 3 and 4) was the amount to try out for my first trip.
Chopped up the shrooms and let them soak in OJ for 15 minutes before drinking them all during a couple of minutes.
Hit in around 27 minutes and lasted more or less exactly 4 hours till I started to come down.
My intensions was from the beginning to self explore and evolve, and I was able to let go based on advice from sites like this. I think that helped a lot.
If I was to do my first time again based on this experience, I would do exactly the same again.

Any idea what species you plan to ingest?
I can only testify to the average potency of P.cubensis.
For someone who is at least moderately familiar with psychedelics, I usually recommend 2 - 2.5 grams dried.
IMO, noobies shouldn't take more than 1.7 g, just to be safe.
To avoid nausea, make tea My method: 1. Dice the fungus into the smallest possible pieces 2. Bring ~2.5 cups of distilled/purified water to a boil 3. Turn heat either off or to lowest setting 4. Add fungus and teabag of your choice* 5. Let fungus soak for ~30 mins before consuming**
BoomThis is best accomplished using a stove, but a microwave will work...just need to get the water nice and hot for absorbing the goodies faster. * In the interest of preventing nausea, consider choosing a flavor of tea that is known for settling an upset stomach. The most common one I see being used is any form of mint tea. I personally like to use vanilla chai. ** I like to filter out and toss the flesh of the fungus. If done properly, all of the magic is now in the liquid. Some words on consuming tea: while some people prefer to drink their tea quickly, resulting in a shorter but much more intense trip. I like to take my time drinking the potion. First, the taste is not bad at all. Second, on several occasions I have taken ~40 minutes to finish my tea and the resulting trip was not only much smoother, it lasted for nearly 8 hours before I started to come down. Anyways, welcome back and be careful

I was about to suggest 2.5 to 3 g in a nice tea.
Do not eat for four hours beforehand.
Lay out drinks/Gatorades with the lids already cracked and make yourself drink them even if it feels odd.
Have a trip playlist ready.
Ignore all electronic equipment (computer, phone).
Go look at the bark on some trees and bask in the sunshine if you possibly can.
You won't regret it!!
