Fresh or Dry Please help?

Hey everyone,

I have recently grown my own magic mushrooms using a grow kit. Everything went to plan and i now have some good looking shrooms. However i am unsure if i should eat them fresh or dry for my first time? Also how much? as obvisously dry and fresh are different weights/dosages. They are amazonion Psilocybe cubensis shrooms

Many thanks

Peace

 

Dry is the way to go... fresh means more matter you have to eat.
I will always test the water with 1.7 grams of dried mushrooms, first.

 

fresh is better IMO. better tasting, and the trip comes on way more intense. i prefer fresh to dry.


a shroom may weigh 10 grams fresh, but when dried it will way .9

just because because you need to eat a higher weight for fresh doesn't mean you need to eat that much more fungi matter, the other 90% is water. fresh and juicy

 

fresh!
more potency, and healthy

 

Dried mushrooms are easier to consume, but fresh- they are more potent.

If I were you, I would be too eager to try them rather then wait 2 weeks for them to dry. Just cut them up with scissors into small pieces and down them with some orange juice. Have fun.

 

on a fan or a food dehydrator it doesn't take 2 weeks. but im an impatient motherfucker too, id eat em freshie

 

ive never tried fresh shrooms.

intuitively id say its better to dry them out quickly than to eat em fresh, simply because people do report nausea from eating them fresh and for a first time, id want to make the experience as trouble free as possible.

but... peoples informed responses beg to differ

 

if i had access to fresh shrooms, i'd probably start just eating them instead of making tea. they're pretty good tasting fresh imo.

 

Fresh or dry makes very very little difference, either way you'll trip plenty good enough if you just dose right; the only difference between the two is that fresh shrooms contain both psilocybin as well as psilocin, the latter of which is chemically unstable and does NOT survive the drying process AND when consumed via means of fresh mushrooms psilocin rapidly breaks down into psilocybin anyhow...which is the prime player in making you trip. Personally I prefer dried as dosing is much more precise sense, in my personal experience the 90% water rule of thumb is prone to varying between mushroom to mushroom with some containing considerably less, IE leading to a higher dosing when a lower one was intended.

 

thaks for the info, much appreciated. For my first time how much should i take if they are fresh? I know it depends on type of shroom but a rough estimate would be great?

Thanks

 

just eat them fresh and chop them up and make a milkshake or smoothie because less work for u aha

 

Fresh is definately the way to go, they're much more potent that way.

I'd recommend taking about 15-20g on an empty stomach for your first trip.
You can always try a higher dose later.
