First trip dosage

Hello Shroomery community, I am making a new post today about my first ever mushroom trip. I am getting 8 grams of mushrooms (I dont even know what kind they are!) for me and a friend of mine, and I am wondering what you guys think is the best way to ingest them as well as if we should eat them all in one trip (which was my original plan). I have smoked ganj regularly for about four years now, but I have never taken any psychedelics before. Both me and the girl Ill be with do plan on smoking herb during the trip. I have wanted to take mushrooms for a long time, and dont want to be disappointed with my first trip. Is there any tips or things I should know before going into this? Tell me the kind of things you would have wanted yourself to know/do before your first mushroom trip. My main Q's are Dosage and method of ingestion. Some people say they taste so bad and make you nauseous while others have no problem. Im planning on taking them in about a week, so please let me know what you guys think. Thank You!!

First off, welcome to the Shroomery! There's a great community here of great diversity.
Many people will recommend between 1-3.5 grams dry psilocybin cubensis, most commonly grown and sold, though if you want to make sure, post photos in the Mushroom hunting and identification forums, you can get a definite answer about what kind of mushrooms you have your hands on.
However much you decide to eat, have them all at once and try to avoid redosing as it will only prolong the trip and not get you any higher, unless of course you eat two or three times the original dose.
4 grams is a pretty good dose and should get you tripping pretty good. If you both eat the four grams, I would have an experienced sober sitter close by to be ground control, taking care of the trippers needs like food and drink or restroom assistance and to change the music if need be. If no sitter is available, just be sure to be in a safe place that you're familiar with, preferably at home or out away from public in nature somewhere.
Have warm clothes and/or blankets, water close by and some healthy foods to snack on. If you want to smoke cannabis, I would recommend not smoking for a few hours before hand and let yourself come down, and smoke around 2-3 hours after ingestion, if not later. Cannabis can cause things to become very confusing quickly when you're high on mushrooms, though they do sygnerigize nicely and is great for the comedown.
Be safe op, you'll be fine. The mushroom is the oldest psychoactive on the planet, you'll be just another drop in the massive pond of experiences.

I agree with hamhead mostly. Definitely eat all the mushrooms at once. Cannabis before or in the beginning of a trip, can cause anxiety sometimes. As far as the mushroom dosage goes, it's very difficult to tell you what to take. The way they were cultivated/dried, along with the type of mushroom, and even how they were stored affects potency. There is no way for us to know the potency of the mushrooms you have your hands on. I've had mushrooms off the street, that 7gs barely had me tripping. (Experienced users would dislike this, and realize they got screwed with weak mushrooms, if you know anybody that has eaten them). I've also had mushrooms, where an eigth 3.5gs was ridiculously visual, and had me spun out more than expected.
I feel like alot of the users on here would recommend 1.3-1.5g dried. They just don't want anybody having a really crazy bad time, and anything to happen. I would recommend 3-3.5 g dried. I know someone that never really liked mushrooms, but would never try a higher dosage than 1.75gs. I feel like, they never got far enough to appreciate what mushrooms can do. I also tripped with someone who had never eaten mushrooms, and gave them 5g's of potent shrooms. They got far out, and LOVE shrooms now. They were so amazed at what they can do. Then there is always that person that takes 3 grams for the first time, and trips out, has a horrible time, and never wants to try mushrooms again because they were too much.
What I am saying is, without knowing you, and your mushrooms, I can't tell you what dosage to start out with. If you do take 1.5grams, and it doesn't seem that special or fun, wait a few weeks and take a higher dose. I do recommend having a trip sitter. Maybe if you think it will be strange to be hanging out with the trip sitter, they can go do some homework in the other room etc. That way they are there if they start hearing you all having a rough time, or if you choose to go ask for their assistance.
Btw, depending on where you live, you may not want to go outdoors. However, trees and they outdoors are amazing to look at when peaking on mushrooms. If you get a good chance, go outdoors during your trip!
edit: and chew the shrooms up real good too. It's easier on your stomach, and absorbs better.

Start with 1g dried. You never know what your personal tolerance is and how potent your strain is. You can always do more on your next trip but you cant take less in your current trip.
