Capsulating with Lions Mane

Does anyone have any good ideas for me here?
I have 00 capsules, and a manual capsule filling machine. I would like to get 50mg psilocyben in each cap, and the rest with Lions Mane.
Does anyone have any good ideas about ways to ensure accuracy/consistency, without having to weigh out 50mg 50 times and individually put into each cap
The one way I thought of would be to assume each cap can take 600mg, multiply by the total number of caps, and then prepare a mixture of the ps. and LM in the right proportions, and shake up in a jar... but I imagine there may be considerable inconsistency in the contents of each cap using that technique
Thanks so much

There was a discussion of this in mush cult last week. There are things called 'agitators' that evenly mix things but they cost thousands from what the discussion was.
IME probably good enough to blend it in a blender and just shake it around while it's blending.
One way to find out
-------------------- But if you're in a hurry, and really got to go If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow That it's one thing to try and another to fly You get there quicker just a step at a time It's one thing to bark, another to bite The show ain't over till you pack up at night

Interesting, thanks dude. I'm awaiting delivery of a coffee grinder so will let you know how it goes. Just struck me it is worth mixing it well, so as not to get caught out one day if I have to drive or am busy with clients..!

IME with capsules and a manual capsule machine, a size ‘00’ capsule will hold about 500mg if you’ve ground it really well. Also, Im not sure exactly what you’re going for but I think most would agree that 50mg of dried psilocybe mushrooms will be extremely small. I guess it could be considered a microdose but you might want to do more research on dosing. If it were me, I would either make separate capsules or like you said, do the math and try to divide it out; again, at 50mg you won’t notice it anyways unless you have a sensitivity to the drug.
-------------------- This is my way, what is your way? The way doesn't exist. `I know how much that means to me`
