Storage: Stored cool and dry not exposed to light they will last a few years at least.
Dose: 1.5-2g as a starting dose, 2.5-4g as a strong dose. Always start with a smaller dose initially, some mushrooms are much stronger than others.

edit: and if you're 6'3" and 140lbs, you should really eat more, that's way underweight.

any tips on what to look for when buying a half o?

I've only bought weed from this guy 3 or 4 times or something...he seems alright but you never know.

They should be white-golden tan-blue-green-brownish in colour, depending on how well they're dried. The more blue-green they are, the older they are, but even discolouration doesn't mean they're any less potent (only a tiny amount of oxidative damage to psilocin will yield a big colour change). They should be about congruent in size to 1/2oz of pot.

should smell like an old boot

I suggest only taking a gram your first time, and smoke a bowl of weed about a half hour after taking them.... it will quicken the effects, and will help relax you. If you are a lightweight (which sounds like you are,) and you have never tried them before, a gram will definitely be enough.

One thing that people need to realize about shrooms is that it is a mood intensifier. If you are in a bad mood, and you take shrooms, you will have the worst trip of your life. If you are in a good mood, you will feel like you are in a euphoria.

Make sure that you are not around bad "vibes". People/things/places that make you feel uncomfortable or unhappy are best avoided. I suggest hanging with a friend you feel close to, and being somewhere you feel safe. Nature is by far the most pleasant place to be on shrooms. I suggest taking a walk through a park, or somewhere else similar. Shrooms give you a sense of "adventure", so you will probably want to explore while on them anyway, and the wonders of nature will blow you away... I promise.

Lights, and colours are going to be a focal point... so I suggest incorporating that into your trip. Doesn't have to be fancy... even a street light could entertain you, especially when the tracers kick in.

Music is awesome... I used to get what I call "musical visualizations" in my head when on shrooms. You could literally "see" the music. Play music that again... gives you good vibes, music that makes you feel relaxed and happy. I suggest not going with music that has vocals, because often you will contort the vocals into weird shit, and it starts to fuck with your head.

Tv can or cannot be good. I personally loved watching the "treehouse" channel for kids. VERY colourful (so incredibly pleasing to the eye,) and light hearted (didn't give bad vibes). I only suggest that for the last few hours where you are coming down and can't sleep. The peak shouldn't be wasted on tv. Be careful you aren't watching something like CSI or whatever... on shrooms, that wont be good to watch.

I suggest eating something substantial before you take the shrooms because you wont be hungry at all during the trip. It will be lighter on the stomach, and will help avoid damage to the stomach lining. I may be incorrect, but I think that dairy prohibits the absorption of the hallucinogen, so avoiding those would be wise.

Otherwise, have a great time.

P.S. I have had a lot of experience with shrooms, so if you would like anymore info on personal experience, I am happy to share. Try looking at erowid too

Edit:

Fresh shrooms = more potent/better (what you want):
Don't freeze shrooms. Keep them in the fridge. If they are really blue, it isn't a good thing... means they have become inactive. Put them in a breathable package... like a paper bag or a perforated baggy. Ziploc bag FTL - they will go moldy.

You can eat your shrooms with pretty much anything (put them in an omelette, blend them with some fruit etc. etc.) because shrooms taste like ass. If you're gonna eat them straight, chew them well.

That's not true, there's been plenty of times on mushrooms (and LSD) that I've been hungry and ate loads. It's different for everyone, but indolic psychedelics have never upset my appetite. Further, the basicity of milk may actually enhance the absorption of the active ingredients (as it does with other amines). I used to know someone who made mushroom milkshakes and got very high.

No, that doesn't mean they're inactive. It only requires a small amount of oxidative degredation (<.1% of the total tryptamine content of the mushroom) to change the colour of your mushrooms to a darkish blue-brown (many dyes are actually indolic in nature, similar to the structure of psilocybin).

Oh yeah, if you get fresh shrooms and want to store them, the easier way is to leave them in front of a fan near a window overnight, then put them in a jar with silica at the bottom (silica is non-toxic and sold at pet stores and supermarkets).
