You'll have to consume considerably more to reach the equivalent dried dose. For example 10g fresh correspond to 0.5-1g dried. Make sure to use a scale either way.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the taste and amount of nausea may be different. To me there never has been any nausea (must be the low amounts I've tried), taste-wise the fresh kind was kind of funky and the dried more like eating a bag of unflavored chips. Neither I'd describe as unpleasant.
For long-term storage dried is obviously the way to go, but if you're up to spontaneous (cooking) trips, give the fresh kind a try.

Yes you can. 10g wet = 1g dry when first harvested. If they have been sitting in your fridge for a few days you need to take in account for evaporation. No idea how much water can evaporate but probably enough where 7g = 1g. I made the mistake before of dosing 35g of 3 day old mushrooms before hoping for a 3.5g trip and was absolutely blown away. It was certainly more psilocybin than I expected. It was a good trip though
If you'd like to dry them I'd recommend a jerkey dehydrator. I bought mine for $40 from an outdoors store. It works well.

Kinda...The over all "weight" will be more with fresh mushrooms, yea...but one doesn't need to necessarily "eat more mushrooms" when they are fresh compared to when they are dried.
You're not really "eating more" when you eat fresh mushrooms, you're just consuming more water since they have a lot more moisture in them.
If one has 30g of fresh wet mushrooms that is composed of 6 individual mushrooms, when dried out that 30g will weigh roughly 3g and it is still composed of 6 individual mushrooms...So one does not need to "eat more" when they are fresh....In both cases, fresh or dried, one is still eating the same exact amount of mushrooms. It's just that when they are fresh they weigh more because they contain more moisture/water.
To the OP....Yes, mushrooms can be consumed fresh and that's my favorite way to trip on them. I feel that when they are consumed shortly after being harvested (within several hours or the day of being harvested) they have a "richer" effect and are a little more potent versus dried. I really enjoy the experience from fresh mushrooms.

Tom Lane describes in his book Sacred Mushroom Rituals, Search for the blood of Quetzalcoatl a traditional consumption technique where fresh mushrooms are chewed , but not swallowed, with a few teaspoons of honey. By chewing and keeping them in your mouth you get the medicine absorbed into your blood stream much more quickly and at a higher rate, seemingly, than other modes of delivery.
this sublingual technique is also useful with a mushroom powder.
please field test your hypothesis and report back.
