I think a good yield is 100-150g per jar.  Hopefully I get something like that next time.

Trying them fresh didn't work out, so I don't know for sure what fresh would be like.  I'm chalking it up to a beginner mistake, possibly to try again some other time.  I tried eating them fresh, just tossing wet nuggets into my mouth, nom nom nom swallow grimace, and they came riiiight back up shortly thereafter in a massively disgusting purge.  You know the kind, where the purging itself is so disgusting that it makes you purge again even though you don't really need to anymore, and it becomes a vicious cycle, until you are in pain from dry heaving?  ME NOT WANT EAT FRESH AFTER THAT. lol  Possible contamination I am guessing?  Or are they really that bad on your stomach when fresh?

I've always dried them in a food dehydrator after that, so that's mostly the experience I have.

Wet vs dry: Shouldn't be much difference in potency, assuming you are taking more fresh then dry to make up for the water weight difference (2/3 water when fresh), and assuming the preparation isn't destroying any of the desired alkaloids.  It's the same psilocybin molecule in both.

Preferred method of administration is tea!  I think the process might be a bit lossy, but it works to remove or greatly reduce the nausea problem.  I'm going to try to koolaid idea next.
