What is the Fadiman Protocol?

The Fadiman Protocol, developed by Dr. James Fadiman, involves taking a microdose once every three days: Day 1 (dose day), Day 2 (transition day), Day 3 (normal day), then repeat. This allows for integration and prevents tolerance buildup.

What is the Stamets Stack?

Paul Stamets' protocol combines psilocybin with lion's mane mushroom and niacin. The schedule is 4 days on, 3 days off. The niacin causes a flush that theoretically helps distribute the compounds.

How do I make mushroom capsules?

Grind dried mushrooms to a fine powder using a coffee grinder. Use a capsule filling machine and size 00 or 0 capsules. Weigh samples to verify consistency. Store in a cool, dark place with desiccant packets.

Does potency vary between mushroom batches?

Yes, psilocybin content can vary significantly between batches, strains, and even individual mushrooms. Start with a lower dose when trying a new batch and adjust based on effects.

About This Calculator

Psilocybin microdosing involves taking sub-perceptual doses of psilocybin mushrooms, typically 1/10th to 1/20th of a recreational dose. This calculator helps you portion dried mushrooms into consistent capsule doses for protocols like the Fadiman method.

How It Works

Enter the total weight of your dried mushrooms and how many capsules you want to create. The calculator divides the material evenly and shows you the dose per capsule in both milligrams and grams. It also estimates how long your supply will last based on your chosen protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions

A typical microdose ranges from 50-300mg (0.05-0.3g) of dried Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. The goal is sub-perceptual effects - you shouldn't feel 'high' but may notice subtle improvements in mood, creativity, or focus.
