What's the difference in trip? Ate fresh wild shrooms for the first time, not sure how many grams but it looked like a shit load (I assume they shrink when they dry so I dunno) and only had a mild body trip, kinda like rollin on some Molly but with things all pretty and bright. My boyfriend said that wild mushrooms are weaker, or at least he theorized that. Or they might of been out of season, or who knows maybe they picked them to soon or to late? Any input? Also, half way through we put the rest into a juicer and took shots and I swear I was tingling immediately!! Will definitely repeat
I think it would depend on where the mushies grew. If the substrate was something nutritious like manure then they should be pretty potent. If it was a log then they might be less potent. Im only guessing though.
unless they are a different strain, there should be no difference. BUT BE CAREFUL if you go and pick wild ones, many poisonous mushies look like our beloved ones. It'd probably be safe to GROW your own if you want to trip regularly.
From what I've read by experienced growers in other forums, the potency of your mushies depends more on genetics than on growth conditions. This is why indoor cultivators eventually move towards isolating strains instead of growing from spore each time. It takes time and testing to find a good isolate to continue to grow (because you have to clone it before you test it for potency, not the other way around), but once you've found one that grows quickly and is potent, you're on your way as an indoor grower.

Yep potency will range depending on too many factors to probably ever consider. But I wouldn't doubt that mushies from an experienced grower who has selected strains for desired traits are much more potent than ones from the wild.
Actually there are many species of psylocybe that are far more potent than cubensis. Sounds like the species you consumed may have been of a potency on par with psilocybe stunzi, which is a cosmopolitan mushroom which grows in planters, newly planted sod with lots of lignin in the substrate, and landscaping that uses wood chip or bark mulch.
