Truffle lose their magic

I had about 15 15G bags of atlantis truffles from the netherlands. They came, i ate one 15G pack fresh that was cold and in the fridge, it felt like I took 1.5G of cubes, very light visuals at times, bright colors.
I took them all out of package to dry, put them in a brown paper bag with newspaper to help keep it dry, ate about 3 bags worth, way more than i took one bag 5 days later, and it felt like I smoked some weed for the first time in awhile, just a head high.
Possible that they lost their magic? When in the vacuum sealed bag, they were lighter color, within a hour of taking them out they turned dark color. I have a little more coming in the mail, I am going to take 30G of mexicana strain truffles as soon as I see that I can to verify this conclusion i came up with.
I was with my sister, and a really good friend, we each took two bags worth, then went and took another 2 bags worth I would say after a good hour or two, I did see very light visuals, just more of a body high after they started drying.

If you have to eat 30 grams of magic truffles I would say something is definitely wrong (never had truffles, but I'm assuming you should be able to dose them similar to cubes if not just a tad more). I wouldn't recommend fucking around with whatever place you've been getting them from since it seems like it's a waste of money to me.

Normally, 7,5 grams fresh is a very light dose, 15 grams is a moderately strong trip. Atlantis is one of the strongest strains out there. So having to eat 15 grams to have light effects, that's not right at all. Might have been a weak batch to begin with? That would be shit luck, but I guess it happens. It's possible the vendor harvested them prematurely. The more sclerotia age, the stronger they get.
How long did you leave them out to dry? Are they big truffles? Or smaller? I have the feeling sclerotia are somewhat sensitive to oxidization.

Well, a week after they were shipped, they arrived somewhere in the western part of the world. I will take two 15G bags of mexicana strain this time. One bag, and 60-75 mins later another one if I don't feel like a nice trip is coming.
These ones came, were sealed like the other ones, but these ones had air in the bag, co2 from the shrooms I read online, the others did not all have that, one of the bags did.
I put in fridge, and will trip tonight at 11. These mexicana are more lighter colored than the atlantis ones I had before. Hopefully I am in a level 4 trip tonight, that would be intense.
I got 15 15G bags, one came with mold, so bye bye to that one. Hopefully 2 will get me where I want to go, then I will make a tea and freeze that for later trips.

I've been reading through a few old threads on sclerotia storage - if you search for "drying sclerotia potency loss" in the 'search our forums' section you get some interesting threads in the results. It seems as though sclerotia can usually be dried and stored without significant potency loss, but one of the comments (from this thread) which might be relevant is this:

I did notice that in a previous thread part of your drying tek was this:
Quote:
Well I left 10 of the 15g bags in my hot car for 6 hours...
So that probably didn't help....
***
If a 15g pack was similar to 1.5g of cubes, then they were not very strong to start with. Possibly some potency loss already occurred during shipping if the packs were warm and becoming wet inside.
There might be a slight effect from oxidization on opening but I doubt this is the main problem, especially as the sclerotia are whole and only the outside is exposed to air.....plenty of threads recommend drying them for storage and this involves exposing them to air while they are drying.
It's possible that sclerotia which has been sweating inside a plastic bag for a few weeks loses more potency when dried than if you were doing the same thing with a fresh harvest. Ideally you wouldn't need to open the bags until you are about to eat the contents, but if left in the plastic for too long they will gradually start to rot and become more and more unpleasant to eat.

I'll be interested to know how that works out
