I will be getting 15 gram dried of a strong strain can't remember which one but shall be exciting stuff.
Going off the "70% water" figure this would be equivalent to 50g fresh sclerotia.
For genuinely strong sclerotia, the typical quoted figures suggest that 15g fresh sclerotia is equivalent to 3g of dried cubes. On that basis 15g of dry sclerotia would be equivalent to 10g dry cubes....
But that sounds a bit optimistic when you read this thread with comments like:
Quote:
You need to eat 15g DRIED to get same trip as 2,5g dried shrooms, fresh you will have to eat around 25g
If you need 25g fresh sclerotia to get a trip equivalent to 2.5g dry cubes, that suggests a fairly low potency (not particularly unusual), but then if you need 15g dried sclerotia (assuming 70% water) for the same thing it suggests half the potency is lost in drying......or the figures are going wrong somewhere.....
I've never tried drying sclerotia and I don't know how the potency compares in reality to fresh, so the comments in this thread are interesting.
With fresh sclerotia (especially commercial stuff) the potency can vary widely. At one end of the scale, a standard 15g dose might give little more than threshold effects if it's very weak, at the other it can occasionally surprise you with quite a fierce trip - e.g this kind of thing - 15g Dragon's Dynamite Sclerotia - an indirect way to experience Egypt.
50g fresh (which in theory should weigh 15g dried - i.e the amount mentioned upthread) should be more than enough for a pretty harsh trip even if the potency is nothing special - e.g 50g Mexicana Sclerotia - BURN EVERYTHING

does the trip change in any way due to it being a truffle? Also what are people's general experience on them ?
Assuming you are eating an equivalent dose, it's difficult to pinpoint any specific differences between sclerotia and mushrooms (I trip mainly on sclerotia but my first handful of trips were on shrooms).
I enjoy them, I would just say be aware that the potency can be unpredictable......

They're definetly better fresh, they taste good and are plenty strong. A couple marble sized truffles will give a full trip
They grow in jars , you can just leave them in the jars untill harvest if you want, up to a year even

I wouldnt say they taste good but definitely not too bad. The reason why i said shrooms are better is because IME theyre cheaper

Yeah, the dried truffles almost doesn't taste of anything. they're EXTREMELY hard to chew, as I didn't grind them up last time, but even though they didn't taste of much, they made me gag everytime I tried swallowing them, so I had to flush them down with juice.. Then 8g is a lot to chew through

Yeah, I think that's a good idea, I'll try to powder the last 12g I have remaining next time I trip, then I can make a little report of how effective that was
