It is a common misconception that caps are more potent than stems simply because they have spores. What most people don't know, at least those who don't grow, is that spores do not contain psilocybin. Psilocybin doesn't become present until mycelia form.

finally some research to prove/disprove potency myths...
30% is quite abit.

potency losses at hotter dehydration temps would be intersting too..

what would be even better is to learn how to measure the potency so we can conduct these experiments ourselves  :cool:

Excellent!

I assume that if I make a print, I could just go ahead and eat the cap?

they both taste like shit so it doesnt really matter...if you are gonna just eat the caps you are wasting quite a bit by not eating them...just eat the whole thing!

This thread has been closed.

Reason:
