If your recipe asks for Ginger root, it is the actual root you find in the produce section, that is is asking you to use. in some recipes it is for the flavor, but often ginger has a medicinal characteristic. If you have powder, that is the dried and ground form of the root, and it will not be the same measurement. It also depends on what you are making- if you can substitute the powder for the root.
No. Crushed ginger is 'wet'. Ground Ginger is a powder. They are not the same thing. You can substitute but would need to change quantities and the taste would be different.
Avoid doing this. The proportions unbalance a recipe when you substitute ground for freshly grated ginger.
When a recipe calls for ginger and you do not have any, you can substitute another spice like mace in place of the ginger. Nutmeg is another spice that you can use. Replacing the ginger may change the taste of your recipe.
yes, use about 1/3rd as much though, as it is more potent.

I would just use the same amount because ginger paste is basically really finely miced ginger. Maybe cut down a slight amount if your not a huge fan of ginger.
Bottled ground fresh ginger is a convenient form of ginger that combines the flavor and aroma of fresh ginger with the ease of use found in a bottled product. It typically consists of ginger root that has been finely ground, and it may be packaged in a liquid or paste form to maintain its freshness. This product is often used in cooking and baking as a substitute for fresh ginger, providing a similar taste with less preparation time. It's popular in various cuisines for marinades, sauces, and desserts.
Ground ginger can NOT be substituted for crystallized ginger--that is something quite different. Otherwise, you are fairly safe to use ground, minced, and grated ginger interchangeably unless the ginger is being used for garnish purposes (sushi, for instance). The thing to remember is that ground ginger is exponentially more potent than fresh ginger. Ultimately it comes down to a matter of personal taste, but I rarely use more than a few pinches of the ground stuff.
The dry equivalent of fresh ginger is ground ginger. Typically, you can use about 1 teaspoon of ground ginger to replace 1 tablespoon of fresh grated ginger, as ground ginger is more concentrated in flavor. It's important to adjust the quantity based on the recipe and personal taste preferences.
