Yesterday at around 12:30pm I sampled 0.25g dry of some newly acquired mushrooms, labeled "AV". They had been prepared by powdering and mixing, so I can hopefully use this experience as a reference for future dosing. I felt definite effects at a Shulgin level of around +1.5. I had noticeable enhancement of colors and texture and an increase in CEV activity (from my normal baseline). I also had a heightened tendency to laugh (even though I was alone) and some tactile alteration/enhancement.

I'm very pleased by these results. I suspect this was about 1/3 of the dose needed for a low level "full trip", but I'll probably be cautious and try only 0.5g next time. I may just be a mushroom lightweight, or maybe these are on the somewhat potent side. I can't complain because I have plenty and also have some of two other kinds to try.

Recent Hyphae Cup analyses have indicated mushrooms that would contain a full dose of psilocybin in less than 1g of dried fruit, we're entering an era of unprecedentedly potent mushrooms coming at unexpected times imo. One of the best things we can do for now, in my opinion, is to buy or grow as large of a single batch as possible, homogenize it into powder (then shake in a jar or tupperware), and perhaps then dilute into ethanol to make either "mushroom opium" or a tincture of psilocybin which can then be felt out in intervals of a milliliter. When I was recently dealing with Pan Cyans, it was the only reasonable way to interface with them.

Even before these hyper potent strains I have had problems with dosing mushrooms. When my friend and I grew our own, we found them to be terribly inconsistent, some were super potent and some were pretty normal. Especially when we ate them wet they seemed harder to gague. I think some mushrooms end up getting puffed up with water more than others and drying them out normalizes them to some extent. Anyways, we ended up drying and grinding them and then compressing them to get the air out for storage. By working with dry powder we were able to get more consistency (but harder to munch!)

How stable is psilocybin in a tincture made from say standard vodka?

I've been taking mushrooms since 2000, and for some reason all but one batch of mushrooms I've taken were super potent. The only "weak" one was my first, and I took like 3.2g worth, which was still pretty heavy for me. Since then, I've never taken more than 1.5g of any shrooms, and that dose pretty much took me through ego breakdown followed by a couple of hours of emotional catharsis. I also had a trip that was just as strong if not more so off of only 0.175g. It was the only time I ever ate any "EQ" without powdering and homogenizing first. Oops! If I had to guess, these "AV" are only slightly less potent if not the same as the old "EQ" I had around for so long back in the day, for which 0.5g was enough for a decent trip. I'll probably have a better idea after Wednesday when my partner and I plan to try 0.5g before walking to see some fireworks.

The funny thing is that I'm pretty sure these "AV" will prove to be less potent than the other two kinds I have to sample. One of these aren't merely stained blue. They are almost black, like spilled ink. They are also very tiny, not really aborts but immature fruits. Comparing cross-cuts, most of the blue color on the AVs comes from the outer skin, but most of these "PM" are fucking black all the way through.

I'm a huge fan of powdering and mixing to reduce dosing uncertainty. I also find the powder to be much easier to consume than whole dried mushrooms. I have a mechanical balance from a headshop, accurate to 10mg, and I just spoon it out of a jar, throw it into a drinking glass, add water, and drink it down. I do sometimes need to rinse a couple of times to get all the powder unstuck from the glass, but it generally works very well. The taste is surprisingly mild, and effects start almost immediately. If circumstances call for more discrete dosing, I can just put it into capsules, which are easy to swallow and are visually indistinguishable from a wide variety of innocuous things.
