Help with Mushroom identification, measurement, and dose calc?

[CheapHighMan]

I'm trying to take mushrooms safely with a few others and want to make sure nothing goes wrong. Here is what I basically need help with (any help would be appreciated):

How can I identify what kinds of mushrooms I have?-


Need Help finding the info to fill out this calc (believe me I wouldn't be asking if I didn't look everywhere)-

Finally how can I figure out how much mushrooms I'm taking without access to a scale (will eyeball if necessary) Just some tips please-


Thanks A lot

But I can't promise it'll stay open. We don't do substance IDs here.

1. for hunting and identification, go to shroomery.org or my personal favorite, mycotopia.net

2. for dosing dry shrooms, i sincerely recommend a scale. surely you must at least know a friend who has a gram scale for weed?

3. for dosing wet shrooms, IF THE IDENTIFICATION IS 100% CONFIRMED: i can only give my experience with psilocybe cyanescens or azurescens or subaeruginosa (they are all similar in size and potency): eat 2, 3, or 4 pairs (4, 6, or 8 individual fruitbodies) for a moderate trip.

Thank you that is the kind of answer I was looking for.

More info would still be valued though.

You need to give us more informations. MORE INFORMATIONS!

1. Are your shrooms dry or wet?

2. Were they purchased from a reliable source, or hand picked?

Other than the necessary safety questions I can only add that, as I often state, mushroom potency/dosage tends to vary quite a bit (similar I think to cannabis), and they only sure way to access potency is to try a small dose. For dry, I suggest about 1g. For Wet, probably more like 5g, but I must stress that you should know your source. DO NOT try to identify mushrooms that you picked in the wild without consulting an expert.

If you have purchased dry mushrooms then I think chances are they are cubenis, but there is no way to be sure without a pic or further description. Greenmeanies suggested shroomery or micotopia, both of which might be of use to you.
