Fresh mushrooms are freakin strong! 2

1,8g fresh which was one small whole mushroom and one cap. Brewed into tea, just water, and strained. I can totally feel the effects, and pupils dialated a bit. Same thing over a week ago with about the same dose fresh. So these are microdoses obviously and intentionally so, but quite strong for microdoses, like almost on the verge of a mild tripping dose. Anyone else get similar effects from fresh? I don't think my mushrooms are as strong dried, like I tried a week ago.

I have been microdosing the past couple weeks, and .2g dried makes me feel funny, but not at all tripping.
so, for microdosing I find that I prefer the .1-.15g range.
But, yes, more to your question; fresh has always seemed qualitatively better than dried to me, full doses or micro doses.

fresh mushrooms are the shit! I always brew a big thing of tea from batches before drying them. That way I have both. But I always thank myself for having the option to drink "fresh" mushrooms tea that has been frozen for months.

Freezing tea brewed with fresh mushrooms?? Thanks. Great idea. Tub should be ready for more plucking in a couple days. Will be trying.

Faster come up, more intense ride and visuals, more transcendental, cleaner come down, overall amazing trip from fresh

Genuine question. From what I've read the drying process preserves the psilocybin but not psilocin. Is this the main reason for fresh being better?
If so, wouldn't both the boiling of the tea and the freezing of the ice destroy any psilocin resulting in a psilocybin only trip?

I think it's the exposure to air that degrades the psilocin.

Yeah heat doesn’t affect psilocin;,not at boiling temperatures anyway

I thought oxidation effected psilocybin too as well as psilocin, hence the need to dehydrate quickly and store in air tight containers. I thought psilocybin could handle temperature and psilocin couldn't.
So really they both can handle temps and everything else, the only difference is that psilocin is much more prone to degradation from oxidation compared to psilocybin?

Yeah. If you check out the Shroomery’s Doseage calculator, given it is an approximation; the figures in there for loss during the drying process is given as 20% psilocybin loss and 50% psilocin loss. You can change the numbers and stuff in the calculator to get it to work better for your findings, but as a starting point, it’s pretty indicative. And it says on there somewhere, I’m sure I’ve read, is that’s why Psilocybe Semilanceata are such great candidates for drying; because they initially contain trace amounts of psilocin but huge amounts of psilocybin 
Not sure what effect drying has on the other chemicals such as Baeocystin and Norbaeocystin, or indeed what effect they have on the trip experience; they certainly have some effect because the trip from liberty caps is so different yet the same to cubensis. If that makes sense?

I sure do love this community, I’m learning stuff all the time!
Ed I finally tried some fresh maz and they are def more visual and ‘clean’ . I made tea with some lemon and honey.

Gotcha, that is great information. So many complexities. Here's a bunch of random thoughts and memories.
I'd love to try liberty caps, but they seem to be more of a European thing. I don't think they grow where I am, not that I'd trust myself to identify them properly on a hunt without a guide.
And I've never actually had fresh mushrooms. I almost did back in '99, had them from PF tek and took freshies to a outdoor rave/festival. I was saving them for day 2, when Rabbit in the Moon was headlining, but things went bad, and we never saw the second day. The freshies did not keep obviously and were thrown out.
I've got Ecuadors and B+ coming up, but I just keep dehydrating them because I don't want to trip right now. Mazatapec is in the works...
Sounds like your tea approach is ideal for "preserving" fresh mushrooms without needing to trip right when you harvest. Side thought, the freezing ice cube part isn't really needed then. As long as you put the tea in an airtight container it would stay good and preserve potency for quite a while.

Just mild dosing .25-.5 on fresh is an excellent addition to your day. Doesn't have to be all or nothing.

Nice. I tripped from fresh Mazatapec a couple of months ago, and it was clean, fast, very spiritual and transcendental. If I were to describe that trip with one word, it would be “heavenly”.
But that was a freak dose; the rest of that first flush,and the second flush too, were both really weak. I’m currently trying to see save the small part of the harvest I dried, by trying an alcohol extraction.
I’ve got a trip report to write up at some point; had a proper “bad trip” last night! Bad enough that I’m considering never taking mushrooms again. But that’s another story; got a few Mazatapec liquid cultures so I’m going to start a couple more Mazatapec grows - this strain is so gentle, yet rewarding, I don’t think I ever want to have a challenging trip again.....

Hey InfiniteDreams,
I used to think Liberty Caps were a European phenomenon, but apparently not, they’remworld-wide. And once you have picked one, you will thereafter always recognise them in the wild; can’t explain, but you just know.....
As to the freezing; yes. As long as you put in an airtight container, the “fresh tea” will store indefinitely. PrimalSoup asserts also that thawing (to take a dose) then re-freezing does nothing to degrade the potency. If anything, it just makes it taste worse, the more it is thawed and frozen.

Fresh is the full experience. Its just amazing and beautiful! If u can time your grows so u can take a fresh shroom trip, its sooo worth it. The difference is kinda like dabs compared to good bud. Quite signifigant.

Just always be growing mushrooms, makes the timing work out every time.
