Didn't feel anything

Hi,
I suffer with depression and wanted to try microdosing. I ordered a Spore syringe from *sponsor removed*, the strain was psilocybe cubentis, and I managed to grow some mushrooms (will post a picture of them later).
I dried the mushrooms and stored them for six months. On friday I tried a very small 0.5gramms amount. However, I felt nothing, should I not have felt something on them?
Can somebody please advise?
Denise

I will normally take a minimum of 2 grams to get a very mild "trip". Unless it was P.E strain, I highly doubt you would feel much off 0.5. Just my 2 cents

my 3 guesses would be:
-they weren't cracker dry initially when u stored them
-ur on a medication that interrupts their effect (SSRI's maybe do that? i dunno)
-u ate something heavy and the effect wasn't felt (this happened to me with oatmeal once, super mild trip on an eighth)
true that on the .5….it is pretty low…so there is that too

My initial thought as well....if they weren't cracker dry oxidation would make them lose potentcy...is this right? This is my understanding from what I've read...

i've only grown bunk shrooms twice, so I usually blame storage(either not totally dried when stored, or using a thin plastic bag that gets punctured by the cracker dry fruits easily>lets ambient air in). Ive grown weak ones a handful, but totally bunk is rare IME.

Not cracker dry, storage, or sometimes they're just weak

i think theres too many factors to decide. but if youre planning on trying again, id start at 2g if .5 did nothing at all. move your way up from there if you have to and eat .5-1g at a time until you start to feel it. id give a good hour between doses. though i prefer dosing in 30 minute intervals. (this all depends on how much you have left of course.)
my personal favorite way to ingest. keep eating till you cant eat anymore >:)

Eat 7 you won't die. It will work.
You can use a more inaccurate kitchen scale. Measure 70g wet shrooms. Set them aside in your dehydrator and eat them when dry they should be about 6.3-7.7g dry

I dose here and there for the same purpose....1 to 1.5 g is all I've ever required of p.cubensis .... .5 is very low.

You aren't supposed to feel much when microdosing.

Well I eat .21 dried grams and have a wonderful time, very noticeable - almost moved to tears the other day during meditation it was so beautiful. I have two friends that take .30 for micro doses and have a good experience too. The people that have to take an eighth, I just feel sorry for them, I can make 3.5 last a really long time haha. For me, eating 1 gram is a pretty significant 6 hour experience. I have been eating mushrooms off and on for over 10 years.
Your mushrooms were probably not dried correctly I suppose, or you're on medication. Some people genetically need a lot of psilocybin for them to trip, I am one of those that requires a very small amount. In my experience, micro dosing can do wonders for depression. If you're seriously depressed, consider a true ayahuasca ceremony with a trusted shaman.
Wish you all the best

Half gram is nothing. I presented my senior project at an engineering expo on half a gram...

I usually stick with about a gram. I rarely eat mushrooms anyway so I'm good with lite visuals. Drying and storage seem very likely to me to be your problem. Just adding my vote.
Oh BTW did you actually use a scale? I've mistaken small doses before and didnt feel much....

I do.. A gram does almost nothing for me. An eighth is a decent trip, but quite underwhelming. I don't trip often either, that is just my natural tolerance.

If I don't eat an eighth+, I feel like it's a waste. Only with PE varieties will I ever eat less.
You aren't supposed to trip off a microdose.

My first time eating them was 2g in chocolate and it was more potent than a lot of eigth I've eaten, not all.
I ate an eigth at work once and it just made me feel really high. It wasn't a very comfortable space to be eating mushies and there wasn't even a hint of visuals.
