Dried mushie dosage. Didn't weigh!

Oh my. I'm tripping tonight and am so confused about dosage! In the past i've always bought my trips, so I've always known that I'm taking a trips worth. I have some preserved in honey which look about the same size-ish as they did when I put them in. And I dried the rest, but didn't weigh them first and now they're tiny! What weight of dried mushrooms should one take? Or how many big, how many small? I also have about three middle sized ones growing in my backyard. Lucky me. So I have fresh mushies, honey mushies and dried mushies. Maybe I should take a combination of all three...?

I'd do about 2 big ones or maybe 5-6 small ones.

How big are you, in body weight and such? Just consider your size and supply when making proper doses. Remember, You cannot OD on Shrooms and the worst thing that will happen is your trip is heavier and more intense...which isnt a scary thing if its controlled. Just go with your instinct. I chopped up 3 medium (5 cm) cap/stems the other day and almost went crazy...But I used a secret method of ingestion.

Bad advice. We don't know what strain mushroom he is eating and we don't know how big a "small or big" mushroom is. There is no way to even guess without at least a picture. Here's some advice, get a scale, even a $5 shitty hand scale can give you at least a rough estimate.
No one can tell you what to dose based on the info. you gave.

Are you sure those "3 mushrooms growing in your back yard" are active? You should never eat mushrooms you find unless you are 100% sure of what they are.

If there is absolutely no way to weigh your dose then there really is no accurate way of measuring them. It also depends on the species.
My only experience is with cubensis and i've tripped a few times without using a scale. What i usually do is start off with a few, say 3-5 medium sized cubes, and after an hour or so if you feel like upping your dose then just eat more. Usually I have no desire to redose and it isnt a great idea to do it before the peak begins since you have no idea of how hard it will hit you.
However, since they cant be cubes because you found them in your backyard so you're going to have to figure it out for yourself. Although I'd make absolutely sure that they were active before I would think about eating them. Better to be safe than really really really sorry.

In my experience, body weight is one of the least important factors when it comes to dosage. 2-3 grams is an average dose of cubensis. 1.5 grams would be mild, 5 grams will start to get pretty crazy. I don't recommend over 4 grams unless you have a decent amount of psychedelic experience.
