Ok... done some research here. While dosing with mushrooms (even by weight) is not a precise science due to variations in size and potency, there are some pretty well-established guidelines.
I'm betting that the caps on the majority of the ones you gathered measure about .8 to .9 in diameter, and about 1.2 cm high, am I right? There should probably be at least two to three times as many that are this size than either the "biggies" or the "teenies".
A dose of ten mushrooms of this size should be what you are looking for... enough to shut down the beast without providing any trippy effects to speak of. Don't forget to include the stems, too, or you won't have enough.
Stavi is right... you may feel slightly "buzzed"... maybe the equivalent of a beer or two, but you will be completely free of any buzz within four hours or so. Perfectly safe to drive at any time after that.
