Tryptamines Question on dried to fresh mushroom dosing changes

[Featherfall]

I have been looking into how to calculate the exact (or well, estimate at least lol) psylocibin content of dried mushrooms (ground to powder and capped in 500mg capsules). Anything i find on it says a mushroom has 90% water weight, but only notes potency changes of a couple 0.1%'s of total dry weight compared to "fresh weights" and no real proper conversion charts. I m aware potency is supposed to vary mostly based on growing conditions, etc. But it seems hard to believe theres only 2-4mgs of psylocibin within 500mgs of total dry weight. Shouldnt it be more like 10 times that due to the water loss? so around 20-40mgs

I know i must be making a mistake somewhere (probably a stupid one) but i m not seeing it yet, so if anyone here could point it out to me i'd much appreciate it. thank you

If your mushrooms have 1% of psilocybin, you have 5mg of it in 500mg capsule.

Fresh mushrooms are 90-95% water.

so the percentage is only ever measured of dried mushrooms?

I've seen it only for dried, never for fresh. So yes, all numbers are for dried.

there is also some conversion of substances going on while they dry.
Fresh mushrooms have a slightly different effect profile than dried ones even if you perfectly count away the water.
