fresh mushroom potency
    #5502486 - 04/11/06 06:12 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I have read conflicting advise on how to dose fresh shrooms versus dried ones. On one hand some say there is no potency loss, for example, 20 gr. fresh are equivalent to 2 gr. dried.
On the other hand some say (well, it is a fact) that drying destroys psilocin, therefore, when consumed fresh mushrooms are more potent.

What is your opinion

personally, i would say hands down that fresh is always better than dried.  I grew up picking them fresh every year for a while.  Way before i even knew this place existed (and before i would have been allowed to post about it anyways :lol:) IMO, making some tea from fresh shrooms will beat any other method of ingestion.

dried caps are more useful when storing them, but again its a personal preference.  When you dry shrooms, they are more potent by weight but, yes there is some loss, so then fresh shrooms are more potent individually than dry ones.  Of course most of the lost weight is just water that has evaporated, but you cannot deny the fact that in any other fruit / vegetable, they are always better when eaten fresh!

That makes measuring doses easier too with dry caps, but I don't like getting that picky with a dose.  It just seems like a fake safety net.

I also think fresh has more of a kick then that of dried. There's always going to at least a little potency loss in the drying process. If not by heat, then by oxidation.

Also, a fresh amount rarely dries down 10:1... I find it's more in the range of 8 - 12:1, some times as high as 15:1.

So in a perfect world, if all shrooms dried to 10% of the original wieght and there was absolutely no potency loss, then 20 grams fresh should equal 2 grams dried. But it's going to be more like 20 grams dried will range anywhere from 1.6 - 2.4 grams dried.

Yes sir. Fresh also has a slightly different psilocin:psilocybin ratio,giving the trip a different "ride". I like 'em fresh.
