Mushroom dosage by bodyweight

Hey everyone. I'm somewhat new here, and my question wasn't answered via search or on the noob forum. I have somewhat of an obsession with accurate dosing (which I know is dumb when it comes to cubes, but still). I'm trying to find a dosage calculator that works with bodyweight. I found something for MDMA on rollsafe, but I can't find anything useful on my own. I'm asking this not because of dosage for me, but for my friend. He's a fucking giant: 6'6", 248 lbs. I have a feeling most of the recommended starter doses would do almost nothing for this guy. I've calculated the amount of psilocybin/psilocin per lb of bw, but it would be tough to apply that to a certain mass of cubes. What's your advice?

Respect, but you're way over thinking it. There's a lot variables in shrooms. It's not really something you can nail perfectly on dosage.
There's nothing to be afraid of. Measure off either 25 grams wet or 3 grams dry.
Your experience will be your own. Nobody can really say the dosage you need for what you seek out of it.

This overthinking complex is partially the reason I'm considering experiencing fungus. However, unlike my friend, I've experienced psychedelics besides salvia. Never fungus, but Salvia, LSA, and a bunk LSD experience (meds interfering). I just want to introduce the anxiety and fear-reducing capabilities of psychedelics in the most comfortable way possible for him. He's a good friend.

I'm introducing a friend also. Female that one bong hit will will drop her. Never had shrooms before.
I'm going all out on environment setting. Coaching her on what to expect. She a heavy girl.....
I'm giving her 1.5 grams dry powdered in capsules. Experience myself, it's a safe, warm, smooth dosage. Nothing that would freak her out.
I'm taking 3 grams. 203lbs.

My friend is a big guy, (6'3'' - 450lbs) he took 4 grams of dried PESA cubes last night and said he felt nothing, no stomach pains, no visuals, no nothing. I was there to babysit him, he was pretty disappointed. I read this on bodyweight dosages about 3/4 down the page, https://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_faq.shtml#12
But according to that scale he would need to take 9grams to get a level 3 type of trip. That seems pretty high to me. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

I used to weigh nearly 230 lbs and never had to take more than anyone else, I always got absolutely spaced... Never really weighed doses in those days though, just ate as many as we could keep down lol.
