Is two grams of mushrooms a lot? This seems shockingly coherent for somebody high on mushrooms. I've only done them a few times before and can't remember the dosage but I wasn't very capable of doing nearly anything I could normally do well.

Two grams is a moderate dose. OP calls this a ”trip report “, so it may have been created after sobering up.

Depends on the strain. 2 grams of standard cubensis this would generally be a moderately low dose trip, but I’ve seen lower doses fuck people up with more potent strains.

Also depends on the person's physiology. Some people are way more sensitive to it.

That’s certainly not unheard of, although less common.

mushroom dosing is difficult because there’s great variance of psilocybin between strains and even within the same batch. There’s no easy way to know how potent it will be until you ingest it. Also there’s several other factors to consider.

  • How you ingest it (tea or whole)
  • fresh or dried
  • manner of storage and how old it is
  • Whether it’s taken on an empty stomach or full
  • Your medical history and other drugs in your system

There’s a lot of variables that affect the outcome.

It’s best to just start small until effects are noticeable and add conservatively until desired effects are achieved.

Most people that have an extremely unpleasant experience with mushrooms didn’t respect their power or any of the variables. They just shoved a shit ton of shrooms in their mouths thinking it would be a good time. No research or questions or preparation.

I advise against that approach strongly.

Blue meanies come to mind. Took half my “normal” dose on advice from the grower and boy howdy were they right on that.

Interestingly blue meanies were my least potent strain and most inconsistent. I was pretty disappointed with them because everything I was told, was that they would be stronger than average.

Completely depends on the person and the shrooms. No dose is the same and no dose works the same for everyone.
