YSK that psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, is 50% less toxic than caffeine.
(sh.itjust.works)
caffeine only needs 190 mg per kilogram of body weight to have a 50/50 chance of killing you, whereas you would need 280 mg per kilogram of body weight of psilocybin.

I would recommend against it. While 25g of MUSHROOMS doesn't contain enough psilocybin to be anything close to lethal, it does contain enough to potentially be an extremely bad time. As someone who got stoned watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off and accidentally continued snacking on the almost 28g of mushrooms left in the bag....hard pass. Never again.

Setting is important and that sounds like a terrible movie to do mushrooms on, especially with the creepy mannequin in the beginning.
That said, I think if people are following general recommended procedures, they should try magic mushrooms.
magic mushrooms are physiologically safe, mind-broadening, non-habit forming, even therapeutically recommended by the FDA.
if you're texting while driving you can crash your car, but that doesn't mean you should never drive.
especially if you want to go somewhere.
I also endorse responsible consumption.
this is why I made the post, to address common forms of alarmism concerning psychedelic mushrooms.
Ok cool. It just seems like you're glossing over the actual cause of the bad trip. It had nothing to do with the movie.
glossing over? by directly addressing your concerns?
I wasn't with you when you took that fateful trip, so I am not absolutely certain what went wrong for you. I'm responding to the story you've provided.
Setting is very important during a psychedelic trip, and putting on a loud, emotionally aggressive movie that starts with a creepy mannequin is not a psychedelics setting I would ever recommend.
you are making very strong recommendations to other people based on your single anecdotal experience.
Your concern over dosage(~25g) is directly contradicted by evidence.

show your sources. this community requires evidence for claims.
25 grams of mushrooms is not a very high dose for experienced users or for patients in therapeutical settings.
Setting is always crucial to a psychedelic experience, according to the FDA, NIH, and psychedelic communities.

magic mushrooms should be taken responsibly, and people following the basic recommended guidelines will be fine.
you can tell your own story without exaggerating things.
baseless alarmism is specifically what this post is fighting against.
Healingmaps dose guide.
The strain available locally where I grew up was psilocybin cubensis. Golden Teachers were the more common variety, Penis Envy was occasionally available.
Note that I am talking about consuming DRY mushrooms. 25g of fresh mushrooms is about 2.5g dry. For cubensis that's a moderate but not insane dose. 25g dry is closer to 250g wet.

Your fist link says they use a set 25_mg_ dose of extracted psilocybin.

The person recounting this trip consumed 2.6g of dried mushrooms and had a very intense trip. That should be about 26mg of psilocybin.
My experience on 25g of dried mushrooms was likely around 250mg of psilocybin.
Does this count as bringing sources to the table?
Or are you going to delete my comments again?
"does this count as bringing sources to the table?"
yes, providing relevant sources counts as "bringing sources to the table".
"are you going to delete my comments again?"
nope, your previous comments were deleted for alarmism and lacking sources.
now you are sharing your own experience and general facts about psilocybin dosage supported with evidence.
looks good to me.
