Ok, from my personal perspective, ive come to realize that really anything over 5 grams is just insanity...Awhile back i had only been up to about 4 grams..and if they are decent 4 grams is pretty decent in itself, but i wanted more...i figured the same way you did, "well what if i dont do enough and the whole time im wishing i ate more!" well apperantly anything past an eighth is SOOO heavy a breaking point every half gram matters...I stupidly just decided to do 7 grams in a quiet setting and have a "revelation" trip. Even though mcenna (sp) said 5 was enough i had eaten 4 before and wanted to go "further" so i jumped straight to 7 grams dry and i cannot explain how insane it was.
First off, i know shrooms cant really hurt you, but i swear i freaked myself out sooo many times because i kept periodically getting to the point where i wouldn't breathe and the walls would come sooooo close to touching and it was SOOO FUCKING INTENSE, then...well i would take a HUGE gasp of air and the walls would "bloop" back into place...and i had to spend the entire trip remember to tell myself to breathe...it was TOO much! i had no time to enjoy the trip...and i have this wall clock in my room...its a manual clock with a second hand...and i SWEAR that the second hand took at least 10 minutes to move it was like me tapping my foot....and tapping my foot...and getting really tense waiting for it...and then "chich chhhhh" BAM the second hand would move ONE FREAKING second....OMG ive never felt time dilation like that before...beleive me, even though it was only 4 hours of insanity it was definatly at least 10 hours in my time (time dialation) i had to take the clock off the wall and hide it under my bed...and my motor skills were so weird i was kinda scooting my feet and walking strange as hell...hard to explain...I couldn't even have music on..i thought the world was caving in on me the entire time...and i couldnt "hear" myself breathing...so i thought it was a bad idea...and i NEVER like tripping without music...i consider the music the road your going down in your "trip"
Later about 7 months (took AWHILE to get NEAR a mushroom again) i went for 5 grams dry...and this was found to be the PEFECT dose...just as terrance said...i swear if you turn the lights off (or even without) just close your eyes even...you WILL get where you want to go, without forgetting to breathe...breathing wasn't even on my mind (like normal) it was just a subconsious thing my body took care of for me. I have no clue what happend when i did the 7 grams...but OMG it was wayy too much and im an expierenced tripper when it comes to mush and sid...ive done mega doses of CID and NEVER came close to worrying about if i was breathing or not, your suppost to "lose" yourself, not worry about yourself...
SO my suggestion is try 5 or 5.5 like you said first and if you like it, go for more...just dont dive into the water before you know whats coming...remember mushrooms are an intoxicant no matter what anyone says, you feel it EVERYWHERE....not like a 15 strip of CID and its all in your head...my body felt WEIRRRD....and i couldnt take my mind off it to have a good time...the 5 grams of good mush blew me away and i had an expierence unlike anything before with even 4...just be careful, its not like low dosing, it will change DRASTICALLY above an eighth or say 4 grams...every .10 counts i SWEAR......

That's a crazy story Echo. That answers my question for future trips.
As for the trip last night, it wasn't what I expected at all. The shrooms I ate are some that I cultivated myself, but their potency is way off for some reason. I swallowed all the tea and waited. After an hour I felt a very mild come on, but started getting skeptical because I knew it wasn't going to be very strong. Two hours in I felt trippy, but not what I should have been experiencing at those weights, which was a huge disappointment.
Either way, 2 1/2 hours in i ordered Thai food and watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I started to get nauseous and the intensity of the Adrenachrome scene was getting to me, so I turned off the tv and laid on the couch. Everything started to rush and pulsate, but then died down. I smoked some pot, took a shower, and called it a night. It wasn't a bad experience, but I was hoping for more. Eh, maybe my next batch will be nice and strong

Some were brf cakes, and some were brf cakes spawned to cow manure and additives that I grew outdoors.

sounds like you might have made the tea wrong. I say powder em and wash em down with something so you know you're getting all the active ingredients instead of what came into solution.

I basically powdered them, made some tea, let it sit for 3 minutes to cool, and just mixed it all up and chugged it down. I wasn't out to make shroom tea, per se. Next time I'll use OJ.

oh i see. I think you're supposed to put the powdered cubes in a cup and pour the boiling water over them.
Anything less and you're slowing the rate of solution. I've thought about making tea in a double-boiler and just getting it super-concentrated. I think the problem of heat comes from the bottom of the pan getting too hot, which wouldn't happen in a double-boiler.

Do hpoo!
That's good that you enjoyed your trip even though it wasn't what you expected. Gettimg frustrated while tripping is really bad.

Yeah, hpoo is a must for my penis envy project.
The trip was chill, and there was just a little frustration. Looking back on it, it's a bit blurry, but I was wasted and content. I haven't had a nice crisp and clear trip in a while, unfortunately. The last crisp trip I had was on acid in a giant pot garden where the word pristineee kept passing through my mind.
