New to shrooms (dosage and effects questions)

hi im new to shroomery, recently psycadelic have caught my attention again, well mostly shrooms, around 8 years ago I stopped using psycadelic ( I was nt trying to, it just kinda happened do to lifestyle changes) before that I wasn't much of a frequent tripper either. I had mostly done lsd and mdma (if you consider mdma a psycadelic), I had a few pretty nice and also pretty amazing experiences on lsd, but I never truly liked the lsd experience because it was always very uncomfortable and felt a bit like i was having psychosis i usualy felt just too crazy.
Back in those days I tried shrooms twice and even though they were really low dosages the experience was just Amazon and felt great( 1.8 gr each time) I had mild visuals with just a great mood lift and a sense of being at home in my own body. 8 years later I started thinking alot about shrooms for some reason and decided to try them again, I bought some shroom powder caps but haven't really found a good moment to take a real dose ( i have a son, a wife, and busy lifestyle.
So I decided about a month ago I would take just 1 cap (0.5gr,yes i know this is nothing) when everybody was sleeping just to get my feet wet. It was alot stronger than I excepted and completely different from what i remember shrooms to be. I had very mild visuals with a strong body high and a really strong anxiety mindfuck ( kinda like acid) and also alot of nausea, and it was basically 3 hours like this, which didnt feel good at all.
So after feeling like a pussy for 2 weeks because I freaked out over 0.5Gr of shrooms. I decided to take them again. Same dose but this time I took it at 5 am in the morning, this time i still felt a bit of an uncomfortable mind feeling but overall it was a beautiful stimulating morning with birds singing and a relaxing sense of being connected( not as nice as the first time 8 years ago but also very nice).
Other than set and setting what could be the difference between back then and now. I've read that a really small dose can give you most of the discomfort of a strong experience without any of the magic is that true? what do you guys think should be my next dose, I was thinking 1.5 Gr, would lemon tek make nausea better? thanks in advance for any advice

This kind of thing is very subjective. Could it be possible that you're remembering your past experience with mushrooms in a more rosy retrospection? Perhaps a slightly different brain chemistry or different position in life could be playing a part in your different interpretation of the experience when compared from then to now? Mushrooms and psychedelics in general are notorious for being rather inconsistent in their general effects. So you shouldn't expect any two trips to ever be the same.
I do think that the setting probably played into most of the reason why your two recent experiences were different from one another. I would say that maybe going to a gram instead of jumping straight into a gram and a half would be wiser. Its always best to slowly test your limits instead of diving straight into the deeper end of the scale.
As for the nausea. Its usually to do with the hard to digest chitin that's present in the mushrooms. A lemon tek might help, though It can make the come up more quick and intense with a shorter overall duration. Some people recommend making tea out of the fruits to eliminate nausea. Personally I just grind them to a fine powder & take them in capsules. Sometimes there's a little nausea during the come up but most of the time there isn't.
Also welcome to the Shroomery!

thanks for the advise, yes I do think its better if I move slowly towards 1 gr, I might have a trip sitter that day, if thats the case I might try 1.5gr
as far as remembering my past mushrooms trips in a more rosy way, im not to sure about that because I definitely remember both the good the bad and the ugly when it comes to acid. I also remember back then after I took the shrooms I couldn't stop telling my friends how great it was and that I liked shrooms way more tha lsd (which I had done at least 10-15 times with trips ranging from level 1 to level 4ish)
I do think these are probably stronger than the ones I took last time. the guy who sold me this shrooms said they were stronger than usual. At the moment I though he was just saying that to sell me the caps because he also said they were mazatapec which I read weren't to strong, but then again I aldo read strain doesnt really make a difference only species does so i dont know lol, im pretty much learning as i go.

Didn't read all that wall-of-text in the OP but this kind of jumped out:

you're the second person today to notice my big wall text lol, yea im pretty new to forums so I´ll definitely keep that in mind.
yes i do remember low dose acid being really uncomfortable, I felt like I was sober but going crazy, however I remember my worst experience was on a high dose (I tried to fight of a near ego death experience and went to hell for it) so im still hesitant about going too far and I've read a few posts that suggest shrooms can be as intense or maybe even more than lsd. I thought they were mild compared to lsd but apparently I was very wrong.

I beg to differ. I find that low doses can be quite enjoyable and highly therapeutical. But like I said. It’s all highly subjective.

To each their own, it's all subjective and we can only report our own opinions.
FWIW I'm mostly always going big rather than small, and I'm not in it for therapy. However, the OP is posting near classic symptoms of "didn't take enough".
All of the discomfort none of the fun stuff. Only one cure for that.
