Why?
It shouldn't be. If you're dosing with fresh mushrooms I would point out that the common believe that 10g of fresh is equal to 1g of dried is not accurate.
Now that I think about it low potency is a common complaint when people start cultivating and coincidentally over saturating the mushrooms and substrate with water are a common mistake.

For the most part it's hard to be accurate when talking about potency but it seems for the most part 30 grams fresh puts me in that sweet level 3 spot I so enjoy that an eighth dried would put me in. So I feel it's close. I do admit I haven't eaten dried specimens in years now. Fresh is much more palatable in my opinion.

Oh yeah. My point here being that if the excess water is leading to the a higher MC inside the mushrooms they would seem less potent when taken fresh.

Bad trips and paranoia are not a sign of bad Potency. I think OP is confusing 'potency' with 'set and setting'
Though I think this has already been said.
RR once said that cope's give dark forboding trips but if you're getting scary unpleasant trips it has nothing to do with 'potency' and everything to do with you. I will agree that some trips can certainly be more visual but you need to set your trips up. I can't imagine being ready to trip every single fucking week.
I only take shrooms when I know I'm in a good place for it. Something as simple as the living room being dirty or dishes in the sink can make me feel anxiety about my life. I only ever once had a bad trip and it was my first and I took 5 grams of PS. Cyanescens. I was literally sent to another world.
OP, How much are you taking for a testing trip?

Stop harvesting immature mushrooms. Only thing I can suggest. Potency has never been an issue for me
-------------------- I'm done trying to be "right." I want the exchange of ideas to be the currency of my economy. If you have something I can use, great. I'll try it out. If you think my methods are shit, great. Don't use it. We all want yields.

Please show something to back this up.
I think you can get just as high gram for gram on tiny little abort fuckers as you could on fully grown fuckers.

Idk man, i took 4.5g of B+ last week and didn't really trip that hard, so i was wondering the same thing. Im guessing it was just the strain. The hardest i ever tripped was off FRESH treasure coast shrooms picked str8 from the field. Fucking ridiculous. If i don't get a strong trip from my next batch of mushies, im going to grow some exotics, just haven't decided which one yet, although im thinking about growing pan cyans, as people say they are the most potent ones, and all i really want is some good visuals 
i don't know what to tell you, except try growing a different strain, maybe move up to exotics, or go pick some fresh shrooms, nothing like shrooms str8 off the field!

Curious how you know they were treasure coast, given the variety's dubious origins. Or did you just pick wild in treasure coast, not the MrG variety.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

Im from the area, I don't want to specify where exactly I live in the treasure coast but yea. I know the field they originated in(or one of them). I picked them wild and printed them to be sure of what they were. Im saying that from my experience, I know those mushrooms. They were the first ones I did and after I got into hallucinogens I realized that they were rather potent compared to other cubes that I had done. The field I get them from, they grow like fuckin wildfire dude, and ive known about the field for about 6 years, and they still grow like crazy. I really don't care if yall think im BSing, but ive found 9-10in wild mushies, with almost 7 inch caps dude.
I don't know if knight is talking to me about wanting a detailed report on my trip to the field, but if you are just pm me dude and ill tell you everything you want to know.
