And the second one https://www.leafie.co.uk/news/positive-results-shown-largest-psilocybin-study-depression/

Quote

Patients given a 25mg dose of psilocybin reported the best outcomes in the study, with 36.7% of patients showing a response at week 3 vs 17.7% given a placebo. 29.1% of patients were in remission at week 3 vs 7.6% given a placebo, and 24.1% of patients showed a ‘sustained response’ after 12 weeks.

25mg is about 4g - 4.5g of dried mushrooms I think
