Wet- Dry Conversion
    #26514608 - 03/03/20 01:29 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ladies and gents,

When I get home at the weekend, I fully expect my first Mazatapec flush. So after my first week away from home I’m really tempted to make a tea from fresh mushrooms. I’m planning to freeze the tea as recommended by PrimalSoup, but say I was to drink some tea, was wondering on the ratio.......

It is generally considered that dry mushrooms are 10% of the fresh weight, but I have found it to be slightly lower, especially since buying a dehydrator. I reckon my mushrooms are coming in at around 93% water.

So get this:

90% - 50g wet = 5g dry.
93% - 50g wet = 3.5g dry.

That’s a big difference!

So what do you guys reckon?

Mush thanks in advance
DJ Ed

Hmmm. I know the 10% rule is an approximation... but that is a big difference, might account for the general consensus that fresh is stronger.

Have you had fresh ones before? :mushroom2:

Only when picked from the ground, or from harvest before drying; the trips are so much more enjoyable with fresh - faster shorter come up and awesome wild visuals.

To be safe, maybe an idea to freeze the first tea, then dry some leftovers to see how strong they are and what the dry wet ratio happens to be for that flush. Then go for approx 50g wet to give the apparent 3.5g dry Doseage or whatever it works out as. Gonna check my maths again tomorrow when I get to work nd can grab my calculator - don’t trust the iPad lol.

I’ll let y’all know......
