I read where 10 grams of fresh is approximately equal to 1 gram dried. Should I use this formula when deciding how much to consume?

That's the general rule of thumb. Fresh mushies can be lil stronger though because some of the psilocin degrades during the drying process. Sometimes freshies will hit you harder than you think they will. That's normally a good thing but some people are more fragile than others and don't handle what most of considering a good trip as well as the rest. If someone is prone to freaking out or feeling like they are dying, It may be better for them to stick with a small dried weighed dose. Then there are others that are like "bring on the magic! The more the merrier. I only bring this up as most folks that are considering 1gr as a dose fit into the category of more might be a lil traumatic. I once handed a buddy a mushroom that got knocked of a substrate that was no bigger than the top two knuckles on your pinky finger. He ate it and had to cancel his dinner plans because the walls and faces around him started melting.

I’m hoping in a few weeks I will be trying my own first batch. I wanted to try some fresh before drying the rest. I just didn’t want to overdo it. I’m not worried about anything “bad” happening. I’m all about positive attitude and positive atmosphere. Thanks for all the help.

Fresh shrooms are definitely a different trip.

 

When I eat a good fistful of raw shrooms, I tend to bottom out mentally and emotionally - really hard - for a short period of time, then I'm up and off to the races.

 

I prefer to start with a gram of dried, or extract, or whatever method you use to ingest dried mushrooms, then I like to re-up with fresh mushrooms 2-3 hours later if I have any popping at the time. 

 

Psilocin degradation is the common wisdom ... I'm not sure what it is, but fresh mushrooms are ... different.  Fun, but different.  When I have a new grow, I find them impossible to not snarf during the first flush harvest.  I sorta like the taste even.  They're really good with ranch dressing.

I will keep this in mind.  The ranch dressing sounds good too.

Do you think that some people are prone to this?    I once felt like I was about to die after taking dried shrooms, but I knew it was just the trip so I didn't freak out and I was ok with it. I've taken them before and since and not had the same feeling. I don't really want that little gremlin hanging about at the back of my mind that I might be prone to that happening lol.

I think people that are unstable without taking any psychedelics, manic, skitsofrenic, psychotic and other similar disorders should not indulge without some sort of professional guidance.
I hear that on the come up that it’s somewhat common for first timers to have that feeling of dying.

Wet mush always hits me much sooner. Is that just me?
