mushrooms worked for my mates but not me. confused now

Hey Everyone, if anybody could help me with this would be very much appreciated, IL start from the beginning.
Me and some friends decided to buy some mushrooms from a bloke that had some liberty caps saved from last years hunting. seeing as we don't have any contacts for it usually we snapped up what he had left(most of us haven't done mushrooms before except 1). we decided we were all going to get together at my mates house on Halloween to do them (we didn't dress up as we though it might be a bad idea). anyway it got to Halloween and because of work it meant that me and my other half wouldn't be able to go, so we suggested to all our other friends to do them without us and that me a my missus would do them together another night instead. They split the mushrooms and ended up with 1.3g each and left me and missus with 1.5g each. when i spoke to my friends the next day it seems like they were quite overwhelmed with how strong the dose was, three of them got to what they say was a level 3 kind of trip and my other friend said he got to level 4, they all got very obvious visuals, giggles and really really happy. the friend that got to level 4 couldn't talk or anything (it really surprised me that he seemed to be affected most as hes the biggest one of all of us by a good few stone)
so after hearing all my mates stories on how good it was i was getting pretty excited to do them myself, so got the weekend off work and me and my other half decided Friday night was the night. started of Friday with a liberty cap hunt across some hills, we covered quite a lot of distance and by the time i got back i was exhausted. me and the other half chilled for a few hours at home and smoked some weed before we decided to get them down us, it was our first time tripping so both of us were fairly nervous and excited. we ended up doing all our 1.5g each at about 9 o'clock and we decided whilst we wait to get some chilled music on and make the room we were in look as trippy as possible.
it gets to about a hour in and we both notice that everything is looking kind of high definition, with a sort of fuzziness around patterns and colours, after this my other half started to giggle and she seemed really happy and in a silly mood, but i wasn't feeling anything myself, it more took all the words out of my brain so i wasn't really talking much, don't get me wrong i was happy as well but nowhere near how happy she was, after this she started seeing shadows on the wall start to morph and change shape in to mandala like patterns. as the night wore on she seemed to get more visuals, if she closed her eyes she would see lots of different kinds of colours and hallucinations as well. whilst she was experiencing this i wasn't really seeing much at all, or feeling much at all either, stuff was slightly brighter and more defined, i dint really feel giggly or content or anything, more like a stronger more awake stoned. there were points were if i unfocused my eyes a little stuff would seem to wiggle or buzz slightly but not much. i love my music but the dose didnt seem to have an effect on my perception of it either. i smoked quite a lot of weed during which didn't seem to affect the trip all that much. There was a point where if i looked at the door frame it seemed to breathe ever so slightly. after a while we decided to go lay down in bed, my other half seemed to go in to a world of her own still giggling away so i decided to stare at the light patterns on the ceiling given of by the light shade and i started to see the light pattern almost look like it was carved of stone (slightly disappointing when i looked at it the next day sober and it looks exactly the same as the night before) after laying there for a while my other half seemed to come back to reality a bit, we smoked a little then went to bed.
id say my missus probably got to a high level 3, but i only got to level 1. which surprised me as i thought i would experience more of a first time tripping off of 1.5g. also there was another time when me and friends did a legal high called amt, which gave everyone else fairly strong visuals with an mdma like feeling whereas i just got more of the mdma feeling on its own.
i have had one thing look trippy before after doing a lot of mdma at a festival but other than that i am a trip virgin.
so am i just more tolerant to psychedelics? is it possible to be immune to mushrooms?
i want to experience tripping like all my friends have so what would peoples suggestions for next time i try? what drug? how much? ect
also want to add that its not just about seeing things that appeals to me, its the feeling of contentedness, the way it helps you learn about yourself and the heightened appreciating for music that i read about but want to experience.
i should probably add that im not on any medication.
thanks for your time, sorry bit of a long post, any questions about my experience just ask.

It doesn't sound like your girl or any of your friends experienced a level three at all. Anywho, try more next time. Might just be natural body chemistry or set and setting. It happens.

If you take any medication it can derail trips. Using weird verbiage like "mates" and "blokes" makes me think you are from Australia or the UK. So I am unsure if they are force feeding those populations medication like they do here in America. Does not sound like anyone had a level 3 to me, as for yourself, you either took too low of a dose or medications interfered. 1.3 grams seems like a very tiny dose, so that would be my guess.

cheers for the advice, will just take a higher dose next time. i showed my friends the levels of trip page and this is what they told me, probably talking from inexperience though.
I did have my doubts about the mushrooms we bought, they were all powdered down and looked like dirt tbh, if it had just been me taking them i would of thought that they were too old, I was just more confused as to why my friends seemed to get so much more out of them than i did.
im not on medication, i more just brought it up as i did a little searching online and this seemed to be how most of the posts were answered

1.5 grams? Man that is a baby dose, so don't expect great things from that. Maybe a buzz and pupil dilation, but that is all.

I just ate 6 grams of Golden Teachers and Cambodians the other day and all I got was a strong buzz. Then again, I take a host of anti-psychotics so...

Same, OP. I took 2g of some psilocybin cubensis yesterday and it didn't really hit me much. I dunno what it is, and my friends didn't say that they went through anything crazy either... It might have been the shrooms though. I remember my first time smoking weed and that didn't hit me much either, so yeah.

Too low.
Try to stay at 3grams. I would say your better half had a mid-low trip 2, and yours was a low level 1.
Also, some strains are weaker... so not go crazy and jump to 5 grams until you had a few trips, especially since you are not used to trip on shrooms.
