New Here, and New tripper with a few questions...

Hey all, im new to tripping, infact I've only tripped once so far, ate 4 fresh mushrooms we got from the cow pasture. Haven't gotten to do it again since because we can never get enough shrooms for us all to be able to trip, and me being the nice person, allows the other to eat them. heh But anyways on to the question, we are buying some Lab shrooms to try, not sure of what kind, the only kind I know of are the ones from the cow fields...but anyways, these lab shrooms (which are already dried), how do they differ from the fresh shrooms? Are they a lot more potent? If I took 4 caps of the fresh shrooms from the feilds, before with no problems, how many should I take of the dried Lab shrooms? I wanna trip, but nothing to crazy or long. Thanks all!

There are a lot of different species of Psilocybin active mushrooms. Make sure the one's you picked were Psilocybin, and not Amanita because there is a big difference in effects
Ive heard fresh mushrooms are stronger than dried, not sure
What kind of mushrooms are you buying? If they are Psilocybe Cubensis, start with 1 or 2 grams dry.
This site has some good info on psychedelic mushrooms http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms.shtml
And The Shroomery of course, welcome.

well the shrooms we picked were not amaintas at all, the were P. Cubenis (im from South Carolina and thats all that grows on cow poo here, atleast at the fields we go too) I dont know what kind of mushrooms we're buying yet, but they are lab shrooms which means someone is growing them in their house of whatever.

If they are growing them i'd guess they are Psilocybe Cubensis. So in that case id say take about 1-2 dry grams.
Just make sure you know what species they are and that your getting them from a respectable source

Fresh mushrooms are 90% water. 5g's of fresh mushrooms is nothing compared to 5g dried. (dried being much more potent)

fresh is much more potent, but 5g dried is equal to like 50grams wet, compared to the 5 grams wet being equal in weight to 0.5grams dry.
i believe thats what u were trying to get across papixx?

If they are indeed "lab shrooms" (the common term is "cultivated" or "home grown", as you suggested), then the stems will be long and fat, and the caps will be very tiny in comparison (they look like shriveled penises, to give you a reference). The field shrooms have much smaller stems and larger, more beefy caps. Once you've determined that you do indeed have home growns, I recommend taking 4-6 average sized mushrooms (if you aren't sure how many you want to take, take 5. If you are afraid of tripping to hard and losing control [we can help you with that problem if you are], then take 4). Of course, if they are field shrooms in disguise, and the grower didn't dry them properly, then you might not feel anything at all. But it's better safe than sorry, right?
Good Luck, and Happy Shrooming!

I'm sorry, but that is horrible advice. My average mushrooms weigh in around 3.5-4 grams dry. I don't think she and her boyfriend would want to take 12-20 grams of dry mushrooms.
Your best bet is to use a scale, or if you don't have one, buy one.

Shrivelled penises? Wow man, never heard that one before.
They should break easily if they're dried. There may be some powder at the bottom of the bag.
Buy a digital scale, they're only 20-35$.
