How much dried baldcap?
First of all, I have to say that I have no intention of consuming this type of mushroom and am just trying to find out more about it out of interest.
Someone has already asked a very similar question here but didn't get a proper answer.
I'm now wondering how many grams of the dried mushrooms one would have to consume to achieve a mild to average effect.
Apart from that, I would be interested to know roughly how much an average bone-dry mushroom weighs because some people may not have such accurate scales.
If anyone could help me with just one of these two questions, it would be incredibly nice.
Thanks in advance and best regards.
Weighing mushrooms with fine scales is somewhat pointless. Precise dosing is simply not possible in unprocessed form.
Even if mushrooms of a variety have a typical active substance profile, on the basis of which a rough distinction can be made with respect to potency, this is a natural product. Many factors play a role in how much the hostage is enriched during growth. Here's the example of Psilocybe cubensis :
According to these measurements, the active substance content can vary well by the factor ~3 especially in the case of cubensis. This is not a small span, that can be the difference between a shallow and an overwhelming experience. In other varieties it should be quite similar.
However, I consider specific dose recommendations to be critical even with pure substances. Information about how to find it online is based on the experience of many users and therefore only averages. They do not tell you how to react individually to a substance. It is at best a directive, never a recommendation. Especially for beginners: "too low" dosed as "too high" ( Herantasts ). No matter what substance it is.
Conclusion: Mushrooms are not so much about exact dosage. One should be aware that an experience can be somewhat weaker or even more powerful than one imagined. In doubt, you should do something more neutral. In any case, you should use Safer and the concept of Set and Setting be familiar. The trip is shaped not only by the active substance itself, but also essentially by internal (physical, mental, emotional) and external circumstances.
You can find a lot of general information about the effects and side effects as well as the risks associated with consumption here:
Thanks very much ⭐
If I really do not mind, you need 0.5-1g of dried bald heads for a light trip.
Those who consume drugs should, however, get a fine scale.
