The ‘set’ being your mindset, and ‘setting’ being your immediate environment. Set and setting are two of the key tenets of psychedelic exploration. You can take the same amount of magic mushrooms on two separate trips and notice a significant difference in result. While the difference in potency between caps and stems is inconclusive, there could be other elements that factor into the overall vibe, experience, and even perceived strength, of a trip. More important is the overall potency and quality of the mushrooms themselves. This can lead to wastage of perfectly good psychedelic stems. It is a mistake to prioritize caps over stems when taking magic mushrooms. If the stems do not have any psychedelic effect, they were probably not good shrooms in the first place.Īlthough one study did find that the caps of the P.cubensis contain more psilocybin and psilocin than stems, most other studies, and experienced users agree that any difference in potency is negligible, and should not be a worry when taking magic mushrooms. At the end of the day, the difference in potency between caps and stems is negligible, and should not be a concern when either harvesting, dosing, or buying magic mushrooms. The levels of psilocybin and psilocin in even the same batch of mushrooms can vary from shroom to shroom. In fact, it is pretty hard to generalise when it comes to potency and different parts of psilocybin mushrooms. Some believe that this theory may have been transferred from the similar belief that the Amanita muscariacaps are more potent than the stems, with users simply assuming that as both Psilocybe and Amanita mushrooms are psychedelic, they share the same properties. Other studies, as well as vocal contributors on message boards, insist there is actually no significant difference. However, this is the one of the only studies that bears out this shroom-rumour. However, this still meant that the stems were around 70% as strong as the caps, which if we’re talking about a potent mushroom is definitely not a percentage to be sniffed at. In 2003, a Japanese study found that the Psilocybe cubensismushrooms caps were around 30% more potent than the stems. Do you have a handful of mainly caps and a few stems? Mainly stems and a few caps? 50/50? If one is more potent than the other, the ratio of caps to stems suddenly becomes actually rather important when determining your desired dosage.
Although this may seem unimportant at first, if true it could end up affecting your trip overall. There has long been the belief amongst psychedelics-users that the cap of a magic mushroom is more potent than the stem.
