I think this is suitable for this forum; it's not cultivation, but rather consumption related. I tried to format. Please don't read if you're not into details, I don't want to offend.
Background When growing mushrooms, it's mycelial mass > primordia > pins > fruits. At least for Cubensis grown on cakes. Sometimes the growth process stalls shortly in the pinning phase. You end up with a very small mushroom ~ 2-5 mm in length. The top is very dark, almost black. If you don't pick these, they rot. Pick them, and they dry very hard and very quick.
So I'd always heard the opinion/rumor/fact that these 'aborts' were much higher in psychoactive content gram for gram than an equivalent dried weight of normally dried Cubensis oweing to the fact that there was little or no water present (like truffles you can buy in Amsterdam?).
Over ~18 months of growing I've found cultured mushrooms are ~91.5% water. Yeah, I know a lot of variables are involved but I've kept records of weights and everything.
Over the same period of time I managed to get ~!.0g dried aborts from 1.14g of picked aborts, so about 12.3% water.
I thought the dried aborts would be ~ .877/.085 or 10x as strong. Is this reasonable to think? And I'm not fixated on the number '10'; I do interpret this to mean stronger though.
Well, my normal homegrown Cubensis dose is 3.5-4.5g. Less usually means less visual patterning, tracers, colours, melting, flowing and slight morphing. More usually means ego softening/loss, possible OOB experience, visual loss due to overwhelming OEV's, an inability to move and stupidity. Personally I would find anything less than 2g as unsatisfying. Prior to last night, my most recent trip was 2.6g dried normal Cubensis. November 1rst had 7.5g dried normal (synesthesia from sight to sound, taste and touch and could only roll around to move across the room....lasted about 8 hours).
Last night I consumed 1.0g dried aborts, continual weed and 4+ beer. Weed is daily use, beer is 2x weekly. No psychs in 20 days. I honestly don't know exactly what to claim or conclude. It is stronger, absolutely and without question. 1.0g dried normal Cubensis would last 2-4 hours including come-down. With 1.0g dried aborts I was able to sleep after 6ish hours, and fitfully. Most of the time it was spent worrying that I had permanently damaged my hearing ( kept hearing sine wave pulses).
It felt close to 5.0g dried normal; that's the point at which I start having audio distortions, and this happened last night.

(sorry for the rambling, oh yeah and it is absolutely not worth it to collect these unless you're harvesting more than for personal use, these aborts took a year and a half)
