No problem there. If you want to consume it fresh, just wash it under the faucet or make a tea (my preferred method). If you dry it, you can use the oven, but a dehydrator is cheaper and more effective.
But please do me a favor, pick another one for a good trip

Well I think these things taste and smell gross so I'm probably gonna go the dehydrator route, possibly either make tea, lemon tek or chop it up and mix it with apple sauce. Planning on eating 2.5ish grams cracker dry.

I should've bought a better scale, I only have this pocket scale, which is great for weighing individual doses...but I can't even set a paper plate on it and tare it, and 1 big shroom doesn't fit on the tiny platform.
BUT....
I will say the entire plate full made me a POUND heavier on my digital bathroom scale.

You already ate? I saw this thread yesterday and was about to reply to the picture of the transulsent looking stem on the shroom regarding potency.
I suspect your going to have hela low potency as your shrooms dont look very "meaty" and have virtually zero bruising. The strongest shrooms I ate were fresh and bruised easily, I picked them and within 30 minutes the base where i picked them had turned deep blue/purple on all of them.
The clear stems make it look like the shrooms were lacking nutrition and are mostly water and not much actives in there.
Just a thought.

I'm not sure how others feel, but I think using bruising as a sure-fire way to gauge potency is a bad idea.
I've had shrooms bruise heavily and quickly, but they weren't very potent. I've also had mushrooms virtually not bruise at all, and trip balls.
So idk

by the way, that 15g shroom when dried was 0.9g
seems like a weak batch of shrooms, i wonder if any other shrooms i make from this mycelium will be weak as well

What were your temps while fruiting? I bet they were on the lower side

around 70 F
room temp
i don't know any other way around that, i don't have a special room in my place that's warmer than the rest and if I wanna stay sane it has to stay cooler than 72

I like fruiting in cooler temps. My temps on my current grow have stayed in the 60-72f range. You tend to get denser fruits in cooler temps. Your temps are fine man

these are golden teacher, btw
my buddy says it's a weak strain?
he says a typical dose is 5-7g
seems contrary to most of the wisdom I've read
Terence Mckenna says 5g is a heroic dose.
Either my shrooms are weak or he wasn't eating cubensis.
This originates from a multispore inoculation...could that be the reason why?

Golden teacher isnt "bunk". Please dont open that can of worms lol.
I mean, sure its possible that ms is to blame because of the wide range of genetics.
And doseage depends on the individual. My regular dose is 5-6g of cubes and that leaves me with a pretty wild ride. I'd recommend for a noobie 2 grams. I used to advocate for no less than a 8th, but several months ago I gave some buddies that haven't tripped in 10+ years like 3.8g and they had a bad trip.
I'm not completely sold as of now your shrooms are bunk, and neither should you.

I thought I had some bunk shrooms my first grow after eating 2 grams, an hour in just kinda felt weird.
Kept eating 2 grams here and there, 10 grams and 2 hours later it hit me HARD
