dry?

[SkunkPower]

I saw that you need to take 20-60 mushrooms of this certain type, then it only sais 1 gram if they are dry. So they are more potent when dry? (sorry I'm a newbe in shroomland)

How would I go about drying them? Can I use the microwave?

Usually a good trip is 30 grams fresh, that would be about 5 grams dried.
No need to use the microwave.
What you can do is put a pc fan into the side of a shoebox, put chicken gaze in the middle (so there is some room under the shrooms and here you go. A drying device.

There is always an easier method ofcourse. Just lay them on the back of your monitor
This will also work.

60 grams fresh is about 5 grams dry so 30 grams would be around 2.5 grams. 5 dry grams is considered the average heroic dose.

Dried mushrooms loose potency (marginal) so in effect they become less potent. If you dry with optimal conditions and you store the dried specimens airtight as soon as possible, the loss in potency will be so minimal you won't notice it. Dried mushrooms left in the open air loose potency very quickly.

20-60 mushrooms of this certain type

You'd better use 20-60 GRAMS of the fresh mushrooms. If you are going to take 20-60 SHROOMS you'll have the the trip of your life and probably end up in the psych ward if you're unexperienced...
Experienced shamans may take like 16 shrooms (which would then be about 10g-12g dried or 100g-120g fresh shrooms) but that is a really heroic dose and you should only do it if you have enough experience and if you're brave enough

SkunkPower could also mean some other mushroom than P. Cubensis. For example, according to one refence the recommended dose for Psilocybe semilanceata (aka Liberty Cap) is 2-10 grams (roughly about 5-25 pieces) of fresh, and 0,5-3 grams (about 10-50 pieces) of dried shrooms.

Really? My personal experience with liberty caps is that they are way less potent than cuiltivated cubensis but I may mix up races here...

As I already sad vaporation destroyes Psilocin and left psilocibin who is some way stable then psilocin but psilocin to Ljubiša Grli?(Croatian Claudo Naranjo)Is about 1,5 more potent then psilocibin alone. :!:
