How to weigh dried mushrooms
1–2.5 g is a commonly reported range for dried cubensis mushrooms. Other species and batches can be stronger. A scale weighs the mushroom. It can’t tell you how much psilocybin is inside.
Zero the tray and weigh in grams. Don’t count caps or use fresh weight to estimate dried strength.
Check the mushroom and wait
Get wild mushrooms identified by an expert. Call Poison Control right away if someone ate an unidentified mushroom. Effects can take up to 2 hours to start. Avoid taking more while you wait.
