does anybody know how many grams of wet mush is equal to an 1/8 of dry ones? i'm tempted to take a couple of these babies that i just picked and i don't want to overdo/underdo it. thanks.

Mushrooms are about 90% water, so if they are properly dried then 3.5g (1/8th) dry = about 35g fresh.

but they are more potent when fresh, keep that in mind

Yes that is definitely a factor, but when dried properly this loss in potency is pretty hard to notice. If I leave them at room temperature with just a desk fan blowing over them for 48 hours until they're cracker dry you can't notice any loss in potency, if you buy them off a dealer there most likely not going to take as much care when drying them.

So if I ate say 3 average sized cubes, I'd have a pretty decent trip?

cubes vary in size bro, you need a scale to weigh shit
as for them being 90% water, I find it always to be a little more
200 wet grams might come out 17 or 8 cracker dry grams
and potency has never been affected by the drying IME, but I use a food dehydrator on the lowest temp

When I was in Amsterdam, I baught a box of wet Colombians http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5887690/an/0/page/4) the guy told me it was 10g's and equaled to 3.5g. I ate them fresh because I had no time to dry them, and it felt like a 2g to 2.5g trip. Back home I've taken 3g's dry cubes and had twice the trip as 10g wet. Just thought I'd ofer some insight.
