Emory University researchers identified that psilocin, a byproduct of consuming psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms, actively delays aging in cells and organisms.
Yeah, the paper is talking about pure Psilocybin. I double checked and the rule of thumb is around 1% psilocybin by dry weight so I was actually off and you’d need closer to three ounces.
1 oz is 28.35 g

(15 mg psilocybin / 1 kg body weight) * 80 kg body weight = 1200 mg psilocybin
1200 mg psilocybin * (1 g psilocybin / 100 g dried mushrooms) = 12 g dried mushrooms
I think it’s 12 grams dried mushrooms, which is almost half an ounce, like you first said.
Shouldn’t it be 1200 mg / 0.01 = 120 g of dried mushrooms?
(15 mg psilocybin / 1 kg body weight) * 80 kg body weight = 1200 mg psilocybin
1200 mg psilocybin = 1.2 g psilocybin * (100 g dried mushrooms / 1 g psilocybin) = 120 g dried mushrooms
There we go.
Thank you. I was staring at it and knew the units weren’t canceling out. That’s an insane dose though.
Even the “low dose” is the equivalent of almost 2 oz per dose. Those mice got to convene with the mice gods on the reg I’m sure.
