Who would be interested in shrooms here? Based on demand, sales could be a possibility.
-
Definitely interested. Penis Envy strain US to US would be GREAT! The only ones I have seen lately are way overpriced. I could almost buy 3x 1/8th of another strain for what that seller is charging for 1/8 of PE. If you have other strains that's good too. So far the one order I placed for mushrooms did not arrive so another shroom vendor is definitely welcome.

i agree, penis envy and price for an oz being around 110-120 would be fair. In town (maybe where i live makes me lucky) its 80$ an oz during season. what prices are u thinking?

Ya thats a damn good price, where I live 1/8th is about $40.00. There is my dilemma, I have 4 ounces of penis envy 6, and i can sell here for $150 an ounce anonymously or double if I sell in my local region.

I'm interested in selling shrooms. I've noticed that the potency can vary from one shroom growing right next to the other from the same spores. I was thinking of grinding up batches and making capsules for consistency. If it's all mixed together, potency should be level for each capsule.
I'm concerned that this will throw off buyers tho. Kinda like my current gun market. I used science and reason to develop more features/options for my customers, but they only got confused by what I thought was a good thing.
Shroom capsules anyone?

Shroom capsules anyone?
Oh yes! I would ONLY buy shroom capsules (for stealth reasons). This is very much needed on SR!

If you buy shrooms from a grower that knows what they are doing you can get consistent potency. If a grower uses agar and isolated strains he can provide a consistent product. If sellers are selling multispore flushes then yes the potency is going to fluctuate a lot. As for the capsules, I would be iffy buying those as they can be cut with non-shroomy powders. Not to say that you would do that CJ but still I prefer the whole fruitbodies to capsules for this reason. For personal use I do grind them up tho. Makes transportation of them safer and dosing easier.

I see your points. I've also read that the bigger the shroom, the less potent it is. Some growers harvest 'early' by the perspective of other growers. I've seen the divide line up neatly between self-growers and those who grow to sell it.
The sellers like the big, meaty 'shrooms, because they weigh more. But, they're deemed less potent. So say the people who grow their own.
Those who grow for personal use harvest 'early' because it's more potent. But since no one else can try their product, who can say it's true?
I'm in this primarily to break laws that are unjust. Getting paid is second to that. Yes, I need to get paid to live, but I'm not interested in maximum yield weight if it compromises potency. I want to be good at what I'm doing, not good at ripping people off. A world full of rip-offs is what drove me here, I'm not going to become it.

It is said that the ideal time to harvest mushrooms is just as the veil breaks and and the top opens.
The psilocybin/psilocin content of the mushroom is said to be the same from the time it develops to the time it is fully developed, so yes, per weight, the smaller undeveloped mushroom is just as, not more potent as a large developed mushroom.
That said no producer will go and pick all undeveloped mushrooms even if it is for their own personal use. They will usually wait until the majority are just opening with the veil underneath the top is intact. However, you will have some that have fully developed in this time and you will have some that never develop(aborts) in the very same flush.
Imo, doing multispores as apposed to isolating a specific strain has absolutely nothing to do with potency but more to do with producing a specific trait like being an early producer or being a high and viable producer.
Potency of a specific strain is only effected after it is picked. If a mushroom is dried incorrectly, potency will be effected. Psilocybin/psilocin breaks down with heat to drying it at a higher temp setting using a food dehydrator will cause some... although maybe not a lot of potency loss.
Also making a shroom tea using boiling hot water will fuck your potency imo. If you must ::) make a tea, steep it on warmer water(50C??) tops
Store dried shrooms in a freezer as well:)
my 2c worth...im not an expert

Also making caps will definitely give a more consistent product. But then you just added another level to your business of being a shroom grower to manufacturer. Manufacturers get in more trouble if caught ;D
IMO most I know dont want the spirit of the mushroom locked up in caps ;D ;D unless they are teeny bopper pill poppers. Not that there is anythin wrong with teeny bopper pill poppers. We all know they like their products ground, pressed and uniform, usually with a identifying mark or colour that they can judge all others against:)
