What is it?
Magic truffles are sclerotia - compact masses of hardened fungal mycelium produced by certain Psilocybe species. They contain the same active compounds as mushrooms (psilocybin, psilocin) but are legal in the Netherlands and some other jurisdictions where mushrooms are not.
For microdosing, use 0.5-1.5g fresh truffles (equivalent to ~0.1-0.3g dried mushrooms). Because fresh truffles are 70-75% water, they require larger doses than dried mushrooms.
π Dosage Guidelines
Typical dosage ranges from sub-perceptual microdoses to full psychoactive doses

π Microdosing Protocols
Recommended protocols and regimens for microdosing this substance.
Fresh Truffle Microdose
Dosage:
0.5-1.5g fresh
Schedule:
1 day on, 2 days off
Adjust for water content - fresh truffles are ~75% water.
β¨ Reported Effects
Mood Enhancement
Improvements in positive affect and reductions in negative mood consistent with psilocybin-containing species
Enhanced Creativity
Increased divergent thinking and creative openness reported at sub-perceptual doses
Neuroplasticity Support
Promotes synaptic plasticity via 5-HT2A receptor activation, supporting cognitive resilience
Reduced Anxiety
Calming effect and reduced anxiety and stress reported by regular microdosers
Improved Focus
Enhanced concentration and mental engagement at sub-threshold doses
β οΈ Safety Information
Start with low doses (5β7g fresh or 0.5β1g dried equivalent). Potency varies between batches and species β always start conservatively. Avoid if you have a personal or family history of psychosis, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder. Do not combine with MAOIs or SSRIs. Purchase only from regulated, licensed vendors where legal.
