Default Shrooms: Weight and Potency

So, if anyone remembers my thread a while back asking the question that if smaller mushrooms contain the same amount of psilocybin as larger ones, I found some info after just browsing through shroomery.org.

"Research on P. azurescens and other species seems to support the claim that less weighing specimens have more alkaloids. Since the studies don't indicate whether the specimens used in this research were simply smaller or not fully grown, no definitive answer can be given for aborts, but is is very likely that aborts fit into this behavior and thus are more potent (per gram) than large mushrooms."

Now back to my scenario.

2 bags of mushies.
Bag #1, weighs 1 gram, 2 mushrooms both weighing .5 grams.
Bag #2, weighs 1 gram, 1 mushroom.

You SHOULD trip slightly more on bag number 1.

Correct?

Dude, there is no universal weight-to-cash measurement of shrooms.

You trip first, see how much you think your trip is worth, sell..

I'm no expert but isn't a good percentage of the psilocybin on the outside of the shroom? Or am I thinking of something else? Confused

If I'm right then yeh, more surface area.

It's commonly agreed upon that aborts are more potent.

However, most people don't regard aborts as say "what you harvested." They're what they are, aborts.

From the scenario you gave, I'd say they're both of the same potency.

This is bad to get stuck on if your selling, because if you have bigger shrooms, you get more weight and more money.
Aborts look like dirt when you dry them, and people want to buy full, plump mushrooms with golden caps, not shroom shake(which is def. toxic to your lungs ;)).
