I got some home grown shrooms from a friend of a friend and they are huge. Over 2 grams each. Will one of these do the trick??? Is it enough for mild to moderate trip. I read that most of the active ingredient is in the caps. These have caps with like 3 inch long stems. I'm pretty sure they are gold cubbies. Thoughts??? Thanks.

eat them on empty stomach
I ate a 3.5 gram stem a couple months ago brought back from underground sound. One of the most potent experiences of my life, but I have no idea what strain? I was thinking penis envy? Either way I cant wait till I dance with the big ones again. The mushies I'm eating now a days are mostly between .3-1 gram, but I did have a gram cap last night

OP - are they dry or fresh?
results will vary....
some people say no more magic comes after the vale breaks and those big ones are just like little ones.

Stems actually have more active ingredient than caps do. These are mushrooms, not weed!
The active compounds are found in every cell of the mushroom, except for the spores. Thus, the gills of the mushroom do not contain very much active compound.
This is why many people choose to harvest home-grown mushrooms right before the veil breaks. The veil is like a little hymen skirt that protects the gills while they are growing. Common white button mushrooms are usually harvested before the veil break, which is why they look like little buttons. Big portobellos are allowed to grow beyond the button stage to have a large gill surface for cooking.
After the veil breaks, the mushroom's efforts are concentrated on making spores, which do not have active compounds in them, and can taste quite strange on the tongue. so experienced growers will harvest mushrooms before the veils break, because the mushrooms will be denser and slightly less weird tasting

i mean once the cap pops up and the gills are visible - that's when a fruit body has reached its maximum active content - the rest of the growth thereafter does not involve the production of additional C12H17N2O4P or C12H16N2O...

I found that sometimes just eating one monster mushroom stem or head can be the trip in and of itself, like the fact that a mushroom itself has some personality to it helps with its subjective drive !
