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.
This guy doesn't know what he is talking about.

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.

2.5 is a low dose. If your shrooms are not that potent (and it seems like they aren't), you need at least 6-7 grams dry. At least. Remember that there is no OD danger with mushrooms. Caffeine is 50% more toxic than psilocybin.
I always eat at least 5 -10 grams of cubes (3.5-6 of pans), depending on the strain I am dealing with (oh and btw a strain is not that label you find on a print. GT, Orissa, Transkei, that stuff doesn't mean anything).
Also, did you take them on an empty stomach? How many hours since your last meal?

it had been at least 6 hours before i ate lunch, and I ate them mixed in with a small amount of apple sauce (one of those single serving packs for little kids)
I'm planning on trying 5g tomorrow

Considering the low dose you've taken, this could be the culprit. Always take them on a totally empty stomach. Do not eat for an hour or so after you've taken them if you want max potency.

Alright, so I'll chop up 5g, and add that to boiling water for about 20 minutes, then strain.
EDIT: there's really only 2 foods I don't like...mushrooms, and fish/seafood!

20 mins is way too much. Just add your shrooms to boiling water (not much, just half a cup) and let it boil for 3-5 mins. Strain and squeeze the shrooms. Then take another half cup of water and repeat the process. You can do this as many times as you like, but usually after 2 or 3 times you already got all you need.
Oh and then you can add your favorite tea and some lemon and sugar, if you want.

is there any disadvantage to using more water?
usually the more solvent used the better the extraction
also...ever try "lemon tek" ?

Oh bummer...my next monotub has contaminated. So bad that if I open it, I might die.
Oh well.
I think I'm going to learn agar from a multispore syringe, that will allow me to preserve mycelium for a lot longer, while i perfect my rye grain and monotub teks, and get better with sterile technique....also I think I'm going to pasteurize my coir at a specific temperature from now on rather than using the "elementary coir tek"
or maybe I should just give up and go back to growing green.

Just use the water needed to cover the mushrooms. You don't need more than that.
Lemon or not lemon, it all comes down to this:
1) dosage. you gotta eat enough if you want to trip 2) strain potency (almost exclusively dependent on genetics, so it's out of your control) 3) empty stomach for at least 4-6 hours

Nah, you just need to do some more research and have some grows under your belt. 100% success is a very rare event in life

Alrighty.
I will try your tea method with 5g and let you know how it goes.

So, I tried out 5g of tea, then dosed 3g in applesauce an hour later. then ate 2.5g by itself at 2 hours in, and I barely got anything.
Slight visual acuity and slight pupil dilation.
I think I'd have to eat an ounce of those things..
i'm well under 200 lbs
another person, 115 lbs had huge pupils and enjoyed it but was still 100% coherent.

One question: we are talking dry weight here, right?

I have no idea what's going on there. Some people say that sometimes you get a bunk batch, but it never happened to me. And I mean never in more than 6 years. If it's dry weight and you didn't eat anything for at least 4 hours, then it's just bad luck I guess
