"it can generally be assumed that there is approximately 15 mg (+/- 5 mg) of psilocybin per gram of dried mushroom" -Wikipedia

So 25mg is ~1.5g of dried mushrooms.

Decent dose, but not a "omg I'm one with the universe."

For instance, a "Hero Dose" typically starts at 5g of dried mushrooms, so ~3x the dosage used in the study.

Though it's possible the uptake rate using their dosing mechanism is much higher than "stomach acid digested dried mushrooms."

1.25g - 2.5g *

That isn't a high dose. Medium.
some kinds of mushrooms can grow tolerance fairly quickly, also.. based on info from a friend
