What are Magic Truffles
Magic truffles, also known as psilocybin truffles, are a type of psychoactive fungus that contain the same psychoactive compounds as magic mushrooms. They are the underground sclerotia produced by certain species of psilocybin-containing mushrooms, and they can be consumed raw or dried for their psychedelic effects.
Like magic mushrooms, the active compounds in magic truffles are psilocybin and psilocin, which are responsible for their psychoactive effects. Consuming magic truffles can produce altered states of consciousness, including visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in perception and mood, and a feeling of euphoria.
In some countries, including the Netherlands, magic truffles are legal and can be purchased in specialized shops. However, in most other countries, the possession and sale of magic truffles is illegal, just like magic mushrooms.
How potent are magic truffles?
The potency of magic truffles can vary depending on several factors, including the specific species of mushroom from which they were derived, the growing conditions, and the harvesting and storage methods used. The amount of active compounds in magic truffles is typically measured in terms of the concentration of psilocybin, which can vary widely depending on these factors.
In general, the potency of magic truffles is considered to be slightly lower than that of magic mushrooms, as they tend to contain lower levels of psilocybin. However, this can also make them a more approachable option for those who are new to psychedelics or who may be looking for a milder experience.
It is important to note that the potency of magic truffles, like all psychoactive substances, can also vary based on individual factors such as body weight, metabolism, and tolerance. It is always important to exercise caution and start with a low dose when consuming any psychoactive substance, including magic truffles.
How to choose a dose of magic truffles
Magic truffles, just like Magic Mushrooms, can be taken in many different doses with evermore increasing effects with higher doses. The information below is for informational purposes only and should not be considered advice of any kind. Always check with a qualified medical professional before consuming these substances.
Common dosing amounts are:
Microdose: this term is used to describe taking small daily doses. The idea behind micro-dosing is to experience the therapeutic properties, without feeling the psychedelic effects of the truffles.
Small Dose: a small dose should be used by those who have never used truffles or those who do not wish to have a mind-altering psychedelic experience.
Medium to High Doses: medium to high doses are used by experienced users or for those seeking a profound transformative experience. Therapeutic dosing at these levels is only recommended for individuals who be under the supervision of a qualified therapeutic professional.
Magic Truffle Dosing Guideline
| Weight | Microdose (g) | Small dose (g) | Medium dose (g) | High dose (g) |
| 90-110 lbs | 0.3-0.4 | 2.5-3.1 | 3.4-4.2 | 5.7-7.1 |
| 111-132 lbs | 0.4-0.5 | 3.2-3.7 | 4.3-5 | 7.3-8.6 |
| 133-150 lbs | 0.5-0.6 | 3.8-4.3 | 5.1-5.9 | 8.7-10 |
| 151-176 lbs | 0.6-0.7 | 4.4-5 | 6-6.7 | 10.2-11.4 |
| 177-198 lbs | 0.7-0.8 | 5-5.6 | 6.8-7.6 | 11.6-12.9 |
| 199-220 lbs | 0.8 | 5.6-6.2 | 7.6-8.4 | 13-14.3 |
How to grow magic truffles
Magic truffles, also known as sclerotia, are grown in a similar way to magic mushrooms. However, instead of growing from spores, they grow from mycelium that has been allowed to colonize a substrate. The mycelium will eventually form compact masses known as sclerotia, which contain the same psychoactive compounds as the fruiting bodies of magic mushrooms.
To grow magic truffles, you will need to follow several basic steps:
- Choose a substrate: Magic truffles can be grown on a variety of substrates, including rye grass seed, rice, vermiculite, and coco coir. Each substrate has its own advantages and disadvantages, and some may require additional steps like sterilization or pasteurization.
- Inoculate the substrate: The substrate should be inoculated with a spore syringe or a liquid culture of the desired magic truffle species. The mycelium will grow and eventually form sclerotia.
- Allow the mycelium to colonize: The mycelium will need to be allowed to grow and colonize the substrate fully. This can take anywhere from several weeks to several months, depending on the substrate and growing conditions.
- Encourage sclerotia formation: Once the mycelium has fully colonized the substrate, it can be encouraged to form sclerotia by adjusting the growing conditions. This can involve reducing the amount of light or increasing the humidity level.
- Harvest the sclerotia: When the sclerotia have reached maturity, they can be harvested and dried for later use.
It is important to note that growing magic truffles, like growing any psychoactive substance, is illegal in many countries. It is important to familiarize yourself with the laws in your area before attempting to grow magic truffles.
