Are Caps More Potent Than the Whole Mushroom?

So right now I'm tripping pretty hard off two grams of some lovely penis envy shrooms. The only thing that's different is that I included more caps. Is it proven that caps carry more psilocybin? In my experience, it does. What are you guys take?

Typical analysis results indicate that caps are a slight bit more potent than stems.

Yes, caps are usually very potent for me. Most things in nature have more alkaloids in certain parts of the organism.

I'd say no.

This holds truth but technically the mycelium is the largest part of the organism, hence the 'fruit.'

Every fruit in nature has a stem, technically the fruit would be the cap, which is the part that holds the spores (seeds).

Eat 7 grams of stems than get back to us with a trip report OP.

Paul Stamets books claim caps contain higher level of actives.

I should've gotten a poll to get things goin. I'm going with yes, caps do contain more psilocybin. I'm living the trip right now, and my trip is stronger because I included more caps in the mix.

Anyone who has made side by side experiments would agree. It's not like caps are extremely more potent than stems though, i would say caps are like 30% more potent.

So the concensus is that caps do in fact contain more psilocybin content.

So what? Why just eat the caps when the stems contain psilocybin too?

No it's nowhere near 30% more potent. More like a fraction of a percent. Really small amounts are found in mushrooms to start.

No they don't. The only study I've ever seen that claimed otherwise was so full of lameness it needed a wheelchair to get around - we are talking researchers who couldn't grow worthwhile fruits to save their life. In years of tripping I've never seen a difference other than that letting the caps open fully actually lowers the overall potency.

Okay, if caps are not really that much more potent, 3,5 grams of caps only shouldn't be much of a big deal right?
Do an experiment and report back

The real question should be could you tell if 7grms caps were more potent than 7grms stems, I say no, so if you viewed things that way then caps and stems are equal.

You wouldn't be able to notice from 3.5 grams of caps or 3.5 grams of stems.

It's sad for KSSS if true though.
