Type of shrooms?

I have fully decided I am going to take shrooms after a while of researching. I'm going to try them the weekend after my graduation, and so I was wondering...
What type of mushrooms should I take? How much?
Or if you could provide a list of mushrooms and a good dosage amount for each that will get me tripping really damn good for a first time; that would be good too

I would recamend Cubes, just because they are the coolest looking in my opinion and the easiest to come by. Id say eat about 5-6 grams dried. That's what i did my first time and it was all good and i never got sick.

Are you kidding me? 5 to 6 grams? Dude how about 3 as a max for a first time dose... 5 to 6 would make a newb go insane!

"Id say eat about 5-6 grams dried". <---That is by far, the number one worst piece of advice I have ever heard from anyone at the shroomery.
I mean, that is really fucked up. So irresponsible!
I would feel like a total moron if I recommended anything above 2 grams for a first time dose.

If your not gonna be doing your own cultivavtion/harvesting, your not really gonna have a choice. The black market industry standard phylum is the Cubensis-Cubies @ a dose between 3-3.5 grams. DOnt think your hookup is gonna have a menu of species to chose from---unless your in some niche market in the PNW, there is a 99% chance the P. CUbensis is the only kind available (specific genus is inconsequential since potency remains relatively the same across the board within the given variety's)
Incase you ever do decide to further explore alternate species----observe the below chart....Everything on the steets as well as the universal class for cultivavtion/S.E. hunting falls under the category highlighted in green.

yeah 5-6 grams will do the trick as long as you know you'll be higher than a kite, or if your on a full stomach it might not be bad, just be brave about it if you do so for its not close to any ego loss trip, this will get you to around level 3

Are you serious? 5 - 6 grams not an ego loss trip? That's about the perfect formula for ego loss! Especially since it's his first time!
5 - 6 grams practically ensures a Level 5 trip, and the fact that he'd have no idea what to expect wouldn't make it any better.
Honestly, if you can't share correct info, try to refrain from sharing a guess.
In response, 1 - 3 grams at most for your first trip, assuming you do get cubensis. Once you have them, photograph them and upload the picture, we may be able to help you determine the species, although it's a little harder after they've been dried.
Good luck with your source, and welcome to the Shroomery!

I hope people are aware that being brave and having an actual anxiety attack do not mix. Being brave and knowing you will come out of it wont help everybody. Some people experience some pretty serious shock on such a dose. Their nerves get all fucked up and it simply overpowers them. To get yourself out of an anxiety attack when on any high dose of a hallucinogen requires some serious mental contortion, shape shifting, metaprogramming, and you could feel like you are playing a few games of chess at the same time. That is only one of the many reasons why suggesting such a high dose is pretty stupid.
Id hardly call eating 5-6 grams being high as a kite. That kind of a dose deserves some serious mental preparation for many people, experienced people.
If its your first time, just dont eat 5-6 grams.
The simple fact that even one person explains that he can only get to a level three with 5-6 grams(no ego-loss) just goes to show you that the whole level thing has little to do with how much you take. Its a pretty stupid system in my opinion. These "levels" are not cut and dry.

Guys---dose advice is already kind of a grey area at the shroomery. Mushrooms and other similar psychoactives are kind of an off the record exception to this guideline but if you are going to give dose recommendations---try to stay within the bounds of the consensus. 6-7 grams is a rediculous amount to advise for a first timer.

http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_dose.shtml
Typically mushrooms are sold by the dose @ 1/8'th oz (3.5 grams). If you want to start lower than that it's ok, but going higher than 3.5 grams for your first time is not recommended. If this is a special occasion I would stay within 2.5-3.5 gram range so you'll definatley break through on your big night but common guys <6 grams is off the charts.

Split an 1/8 with a friend. That means half an eighth each, which is about 1.75 g each. Or maybe split two eigths between 3 people, which is about 2.3 g each. Either way, do NOT do 5-6 grams, unless you want to be scared shitless of mushrooms for life (probably an exaggeration, but still...be responsible man!).

2 between 3 people is a pretty good idea.

I'm only explaining what happens if he does decide to go for the big dose; not recommending it; I see shroom usage as an unavoidable shaky experience, meaning anxiety and shrooms go hand n hand, theres no way of avoiding it, could be a good way to break him in, once he sees the reality of a powerful trip then he'll be an instant vet. For at worst its only going to scare the shit out of him. But the super nice after glow will be such an exhilarating achievement, one marked to turn a skeptic into a loyal shroomerite, I don't like douches test sampling this treasure and defiling its name on some presumptuous half ass experience

i see 2 grams of cubes for a first timer is perfect. my first time i only took 1 gram, but they were psi. cyanescens and i fryed my ass off. it was great. but yea, if u ever get the chance, fly up to western washington during the fall and pick yourself some psilocybe cyanescens, the most potent magic mushroom on earth! good thing i live here too..... man i cant wait till next fall  peace
