So,,, if it’s 48grams fresh,, I’m gonna only eat half this thing? It just doesn’t seem right to eat half a mushroom. (Golden teacher)

Depending on water content, tht could vary from 4.8g dry to 2.4g dry.

So you could be eating 1.2g if you only eat half.

Good luck

Thank you for the reply! Sorry if it seems dumb but,, if it was 4.8g dried as opposed to the 2.4 with eating half = 1.2 g  I’d be getting potentially Up to 2.4 Also tho right? (Obviously😂) I’m old/new to this as I haven’t had any in years and we certainly never weighed them! Just makes me nervous not being sure,, thanks for your help🌈🧡

The rule of thumb is that mushrooms hold 90% water before you start drying them. But as you grow, you learn this ration can vary between 90% and 95%.

At 90%, a 48g mushroom would dry to 4.8g.
At 95%, a 48g mushroom would dry to 2.4g.

Unless you have other mushrooms from the same batch that you can dry (weighing before and after), you do not know the ratio. So probably safer to assume the dried mushroom would be equivalent to 4.8g rather than 2.4g.

I tend to make a tea from my fresh harvest, and freeze. So to find the dried strength, I will dry 100g of the batch. Final weight gives water content. So start with 100g fresh, cracker dry they weigh 10g, then the water content was 90% :thumbup: (10/100 = 0.1 = 10% mushroom = 90% water; 5/100 = 0.05 = 5% mushroom = 95% water)

Hope this makes it a bit easier to understand?

Take care
DJ Ed

Depends what intensity of an experience you want. Full psychedelia? eat the whole thing. Mildly tripping? half. Somewhere in between? 2/3
If you make a water extract aka tea from it that dose would be easy to split to 2/3 too

I'd say go for it. Anywhere from 2.4g to 4.8g is going to be a good experience.

I vote go for it as well. After all, you did say it seemed wrong to only eat half... :crazy2:
