Short answer:<\/strong> magic mushrooms lose about 90% of their weight when dried, so 10 grams fresh becomes roughly 1 gram dried. Magic truffles are different. They hold less water and lose only about 70%, closer to a 3:1 ratio.<\/p>\n

Mixing up those two numbers is the most common mistake we see. Below you’ll find a conversion chart for both, a quick way to work out the ratio of your own batch, and how to tell when drying is really finished.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#eaeaea” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_text module_id=”conversion-chart” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” link_font=”|700|||||||” custom_margin=”|||10px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”]

Work out your own ratio:<\/strong> weigh a fresh sample, dry it until it snaps cleanly, weigh it again and divide the fresh weight by the dried weight.

    Why do mushrooms lose so much weight?<\/h2>\n

    It comes down to one simple fact: fresh mushrooms are mostly water. A fresh Psilocybe cubensis<\/a> mushroom is about 90% water. Only around 10% of its mass is dry matter: the cell walls, fibres and compounds that remain once the moisture is gone.<\/p>\n

    When you dry a mushroom properly, you remove nearly all of that water. What’s left is the dry matter, which is why a pile of fresh mushrooms shrinks into a small handful of dried ones. The active compounds stay in the dry matter. The mushroom has simply lost the water that made up most of its weight.<\/p>\n

    Why the 10:1 ratio isn’t always exact<\/h2>\n

    10:1 is the standard, but a few things shift it slightly:<\/p>\n
