are mushrooms like cannabis where the potency depends a lot on how it was grown? or is yield the only variable and a specific strain will always have same potency?

There is some variance but mainly a cube is a cubeā¦there are exceptions like PE. Pans tend to be a bit more potent and there are a cube or two in the PNW thats as potent as PE. With that being said unless its a cloned mono then there is going to be differences, slightly from flush to flush or even from different parts of the same flush.
"Dosage of mushrooms containing psilocybin depends on the potency of the mushroom (the total psilocybin and psilocin content of the mushrooms), which varies significantly both between species and within the same species, but is typically around 0.5ā2.0% of the dried weight of the mushroom. A typical dose of the common species Psilocybe cubensis is about 1.0 to 2.5 g, while about 2.5 to 5.0 g dried mushroom material is considered a strong dose. - Wikipedia

I take between a quarter and a half ounce about every 5-6 weeks and a daily dose of 0.25g for my PTSD and I have came off all my PTSD medsā¦feels great as a USMC Combat vet to finally get a bit of a break from over 25 years of severe PTSDā¦sure wish I would have found this twenty years agoā¦I just thought it was for funā¦plus they grow like mad around hereā¦luckily Iām in a good spot here so I can walk out my door and get them any morning before the dew driesā¦just nice to bring them inside and clean them up and work the culture to a mono and then find āthatā one to cloneā¦that has become a great hobby of mine in the past 10 years or so. Epic meds, we need tons more research imho.

I feel you, bro, though Iām not a war vet. Thatās unusual and lucky that youāve found that path after retiring from army, I call it a success.
As McKenna said once, if you live through this life without ever taking psychedelics, itās like dying a virgin - you havenāt figured out what it is all about! 
I wonder though what the withdrawal symptoms would be, if you taking them daily. And you havenāt yet developed a tolerance for psilo? I mean, like,when you take your half ounce, is it the full-blown trip?
There have been reports of cubensis strain being more potent when grown panaeolus-like with adding manure to the substrate.

7g is a heroic/transcendent dose. 3.5g is a āfullā dose. 1.0-2.2g is a lighter dose.

A quarter of my mushrooms would make you repent for your arrogance. Half would eat you alive. You can feel mine pretty strong at 0.6g.

Theyāre all Cubensis, but I have had all of my friends who have tried them, including Boomers and early Gen Xers, tell me they are definitely above average potency. I am currently running Amazonian, Hawaiian, and GT. I spawn with rye and bulk with manure-based compost.

You should definetely try 3-5 grams now. Experience will change you somewhat.
That does the trick I guess!

BV I find it interesting that you feel the need to assume that the mono cultures I worked down to on agar from MS plates to find the 3 specific clones [ two cubes and a pan] that I run are any weaker / stronger than yoursā¦maybe after a bit over 20 years now of mycology work with many different entheogens I have a little more experience in the head space and might have a different take on the experienceā¦sure would love for you to send me a quarter too so I can try your mind expanding medicationā¦you sir now have gotten me curiousā¦also on another note, even though cubes donāt need a casing, I do case my PE and Red Boys since they are a bit slower to fruit and it keeps the sub more evenly humidā¦I trip with the cubes and daily dose with PEā¦took me a very long time to get to where I am now

what some people donāt get @Kraven is that it isnāt a competitionā¦ they few 10+ year cube growers here know what we do works and we do it ( amazing fruits up there btw)
theres a saying it āit only works until it doesntāā¦ these online grow kit junkies will never know what works and what doesntā¦ theyll continue to call them boomers and gold caps and stupid wanna be hippy names but a cube is a cube is a cubeā¦
but thatās why I dont post hereā¦ typically I come oN and read and someone says something COMPLETELY contradictory to the hobby and t
I type a book out then think better of it and cancel the postā¦
but keeping on topicā¦ B+ on wbs spawned to coco 2:3 in a 6qt shoebox
