Hey,I've recently moved to the UK where shrooms are legal, but back home we had to eat them dried so I don't know how many fresh to take. They're beige capped with white caps ,closed caps and they look like little microphones. How much should I take for a mellow but buzzing high (I'm also taking my mate on her first trip tonight.
I guess it would depend on how fresh they are, and how much moisture they've lost. Wet mushrooms weigh ten times as much as dry ones.
For a good visual journey I take about 8 fresh caps. For a mild one, maybe 3. . .it really depends on the shrooms though. . .the concentration of psilocybin isn't the same in each cap, and they're a bit different wet than dry.
Sounds like they are "shop bought" dutch imports. I'd recomend 20 g each for a mild(-ish) experience. If they are dutch imports, they can sometimes be a bit weaker than you would get if you bought from a UK home-grower. possibly due to extended refrigerated storage. The legality of selling shrooms in the UK comes under the spotlight today as a shop owner is being charged in court for supply of Psilocin. The prosecution are trying to say that the packaging and refrigeration of the shrooms make them a product containing psilocin (which is illegal here - 7 years prison) as opposed to a natural un altered fresh shroom (which is legal here).
we bought them from a shop, no they arnt imports they are http://www.redeyefrog.co.uk/Fresh_Magic_Mushrooms.html the first ones on this page
"Dosages for wet mushrooms will be approximately 10 times higher (10-50 grams)" from http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_basics.shtml
i bought a kilo of mushies from red eye frog a few months ago, id say eat about 20 - 30g for a nice easy trip. btw ppl, red eye frog are pretty good, theyre a lot cheaper than a lot of other places (£100 for a kilo) and they turned up on the day they said they would. lol now it sounds like i work for them
