Something to be mindful of when weighing fresh mushrooms to dose 1

The saying, 10g of fresh = 1g dry.
Kind of funny story but I really screwed this up my first ever mushroom trip. I had picked some fresh mushrooms and rolled them into paper towels and placed them in the fridge over night. A day or 2 later I weighed out 35g and dosed. Not sure how much water can evaporate out in 24-48 hours but I don't think it was a 10/1 gram ratio at that point. I tripped HARD. I went to a very alien world and met some interesting beings that trip. It was my first real ego death experience, I thought I died. I have no idea how much I took but I took a dose of 5g dry from the same batch and it wasn't comparable. Looking back, I can't say that I regret it in any way. It's one of my most memorable trips. But I have no idea what that dose actually was. When weighing out fresh mushrooms, they need to be weighed right away to get an accurate dose. Lesson learned

They were a good batch of B+

Probably not as strong as a penis envy batch I had but much stronger than an Ecuador batch that I had all grown under the same environmental conditions

Haha classic. My first trip was also on shrooms of varying dryness that we had picked a couple of nights before. I knew that there was no way for us to accurately measure them so we all just winged it and ate waaaay too much. Cant say I regret it either but damn what an experience haha.

Fresh mushrooms are more potent than dry. They haven't lost psilocin from the drying process and are thus more potent.
Also, if you grew from MS, fruit potency will vary and, thus, you may have had some potent fruits vs. the 5g you took could have been weaker.
Also "10g fresh = 1g dry" is just a scale for convenience. It varies. Personally, I've found that mushrooms are more than 90% water (especially APEs which seem to be the highest water content cubes). Usually 10g fresh, for me, is about .7-.9 dry.
Anyway, glad you had a good trip. The ones where you overshoot are always a welcome surprise, even if scary at first.

Two days wraped in papertowels in the fridge is long enough to make them lose a significant ammount of water.
Those 35g you dosed were probably closer to 50g fresh.

Exactly my thoughts. Fridges have very dry air due to how they work to cool air (much like an A/C) thus these werent fresh mushrooms but more like partially-dried fresh-ish mushrooms.
My definition of fresh is shrooms picked right off its substrate stored properly for less than 24 hours.
If u do that method again, its important to weigh your fresh shrooms *before* putting them in the fridge and mark it on the bag and weigh again before dosing them.
Also dont use paper towels for storing shrooms in the fridge. Use a brown paper bag or plastic gallon baggie instead. I like to use plastic baggies as there is no partial drying effect as does with paper bags.
Epic trip thou
