A magic mushroom grow kit is a package that contains all the necessary components to cultivate psilocybin mushrooms at home. It includes a substrate (growing medium) infused with mycelium (the vegetative part of the fungus) and instructions for growing.

 

Our grow kits include a substrate with mycelium, a plastic container with ventilation holes, and a humidity tent (thick plastic bag).

 

The mycelium-infused substrate in the kit is already colonized by the magic mushroom fungus. You simply follow the provided instructions to create the right environmental conditions (humidity, temperature, light) for the mycelium to grow and eventually produce mushrooms. Check out our full grow kit guide for more instructions.

Using a magic mushroom grow kit can be relatively straightforward, especially if you carefully follow the provided instructions. However, some basic knowledge of sterile techniques and the cultivation process can be helpful.

 

The time it takes for magic mushrooms to grow using a kit can vary, but it usually takes a few weeks from the start of the cultivation process until the mushrooms are ready to be harvested.

 

Yes! for our smaller grow kits (280CC) you can use them for two flushes (two times growing) and the larger kits (1200CC) between three and five flushes

 

A magic mushroom spore vial contains spores, which are the reproductive cells of the mushroom.

 

Spore vials are typically used to inoculate substrates (specially stealised soil) with spores. The spores germinate into mycelium, which then grows and eventually produces psilocybin mushrooms.

 

A spore print is a collection of spores dropped by a mature mushroom onto a surface, often paper or foil. It's used to study the mushroom's characteristics and to create spore syringes.

 

Spore prints are used to make spore syringes, which are then used to inoculate substrates for cultivation. Alternatively the prints can be dropped directly onto a steralised substrate.

 

Spore prints are not typically used for direct cultivation. They are best used to create spore syringes to ensure a more controlled and successful inoculation process.

 

When stored in a cool, dark, and dry place, spore prints can remain viable for several years.

 

Kratom, scientifically known as Mitragyna speciosa, is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. Its leaves have been traditionally used for their potential effects, which can vary based on factors such as strain, dosage, and individual response.

 

Kratom leaves are typically dried and crushed to create a powder, which can then be consumed in various ways. Common methods include brewing it into a tea, mixing it with food or beverages, or encapsulating the powder. Some users also chew the fresh leaves. You can also buy capsules which can simply be swallowed.

 

Kratom's effects can range from stimulating to sedating, depending on the strain and dosage. It may produce increased energy, enhanced focus, mild euphoria, relaxation, and pain relief.

 

Kratom enthusiasts have reported potential benefits including increased alertness, improved mood, relaxation, pain relief, and a sense of well-being. However, individual responses can vary widely.

 

Kratom may have side effects such as nausea, constipation, dry mouth, loss of appetite, and increased urination. It is important to note that the potential risks and side effects can vary among users.

 

There is some evidence to suggest that regular and heavy use of Kratom may lead to dependence. Users should be cautious and avoid excessive or prolonged use.

 

Kratom dosage varies based on factors like the strain, individual tolerance, and intended effects. It's recommended to start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed while monitoring your body's response.

 

Kratom may interact with certain medications. It's advised to consult a healthcare provider before using Kratom, especially if you are taking other medications.

 

The duration Kratom stays in the body can vary based on factors such as dosage, frequency of use, and individual metabolism. However, it is generally eliminated within a few days.

 

Some users have reported experiencing euphoria at higher doses of Kratom. However, euphoric effects can vary among individuals and strains.

 

There is some anecdotal evidence suggesting that certain Kratom strains might possess anti-inflammatory properties, but more research is needed to establish this scientifically.

 

The onset of Kratom's effects can vary, but it typically occurs within 15-30 minutes after consumption.

 

The duration of Kratom effects can range from a few hours to several hours, depending on the strain and dosage.

 

There is very limited research on the safety of Kratom use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We strongly advise to not consume kratom while pregnant pregnant or breastfeeding.

 

Kratom should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its potency and quality. Ensure it is kept out of reach of children and pets.

 

Kratom tolerance occurs when the body becomes less responsive to Kratom's effects with regular use. This can develop over time, leading users to require higher doses to achieve the same effects.

 

Certain Kratom strains with sedative effects have been used by some individuals to aid sleep. However, individual responses can vary, and it's not a guaranteed solution for sleep issues.

 

The best way is to take the dose on an empty stomach (at least three or more hours away from your last meal), either chew very well and swallow, make a tea or lemon tek. See step by step instructions here.

It is common that our truffles will develop a white fluff around them, this is however not a mold but mycelium. This is a perfectly healthy and natural substance to eat. It does not impact the effects of psilocybin.

We recommend starting with a standard 1 gram microdose. This is a tenth of a dose needed for a full psychedelic experience. Keep in mind that the standard 1 gram dose is not going to be the perfect amount for everybody. Over time you can find your “sweet spot” by increasing or decreasing the 1 gram dose, be mindful and cautious not to increase the dose to the point it is perceptual and may interfere with daily functioning.

To make a tea, cut the truffles into very thin small pieces, this increases the surface area which helps the active ingredients dissolve better. Add these pieces into a mug, pour warm water over

(below boiling point) and add your favorite tea bag. Let the tea seep for between 6 and 8 minutes, then drink the tea (you do not need to swallow the chunks of truffles left at the bottom of the mug).

If you chew the truffles we advise to swallow them, It is not recommended to swallow the truffle directly without chewing first. If you make a tea it is not necessary to swallow the chunks of truffle at the bottom of the cup.

No. Smoking psilocybin can be extremely harmful to your health. There is no evidence to suggest that smoking psilocybin truffles produces any psychoactive effects. The only knownways to ingest psilocybin truffles and experience their psychoactive effects are through oral ingestion, either by chewing the truffles directly or brewing them into a tea.

 

Psilocybin truffles have a very low toxicity and death from overdosing is extremely rare. While fatality is extremely rare there are other symptoms that can occur from taking too much, these can include among other things; Anxiety and panic attacks, Increased agitation and paranoia, Vomiting and diarrhea, Psychosis, Seizures.  

If you start to feel any of these symptoms after microdosing, it is strongly advised to stop microdosing and seek medical guidance. To minimize the risk of negative side effects, it is important to follow safe and responsible practices when using psilocybin truffles, and avoid the use of other substances that may interact with psilocybin.

 

A truffle grinder is designed to finely grind the truffle, this makes a paste like texture which can make it easier to consume and easier to make a tea from. To use one you simply put the truffles in the grinder, screw the lid on and turn the lid around until you have the desired size and texture.

While nausea can be a brief side effect, there are ways to minimize its occurrence. One of the main causes of nausea is a substance found in the truffle called chitin, a fiber that our human digestive system struggles to break down. Because of this, it can cause gastrointestinal distress which can lead to nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Our top tips to avoid nausea are:

  • Take the dose on an empty stomach

  • Make the microdose into a tea or lemon tek, see how to here

  • Try take chaga, a functional mushroom that supports digestive health

  • Use breathwork to help relax the body

We unfortunately cannot sell any ‘edibles’ as processing the truffle in any way is illegal in The Netherlands.

We do not recommend to swallow the truffle as you need to break up the truffle (either by chewing or grinding / chopping for a tea), the process of breaking down the truffle helps to release psilocybin and to partially break down chitin- while it brings many health benefits it is a a fiber that the human body struggles to digest. Simply swallowing the microdose is unlikely to yield many results and will have a higher probability of making you nauseous.

Yes, it is recommended to take a break from your microdosing routine every 6 to 8 weeks, this helps your body to reset its tolerance to psilocybin. Resetting the tolerance takes about 2 weeks, during this time your serotonin receptors return to normal levels.

Between the truffles and dried mushrooms there is roughly a 10:1 ratio; 1 gram of dried mushrooms is about the same as 10 grams of truffles. Usually a mushroom microdose is therefore 0.1gram- the same as 1 gram of truffle.

This is not recommended as food will be digested with the psilocybin and thus you don't get much effect from it. You can however eat it with a small amount of dark chocolate or greek / turkish yogurt (lowest sugar as possible) as this helps to reduce the bitter flavour of truffles.

No you cannot snort the fresh truffle

It is generally not recommended to freeze psilocybin tea. Freezing the tea could potentially degrade the psilocybin and other active compounds, reducing its potency and effectiveness. Instead, it is recommended to store psilocybin tea in the refrigerator for short-term storage (up to a few days).

"Lemon Tekking" is a popular method for consuming psilocybin truffles and mushrooms. It involves soaking the truffles in lemon juice for a short period of time, which is thought to enhance the effects and reduce the nausea that can sometimes be associated with consuming truffles. For step by step instructions click here.

 

The high pH level of the average lemon tends to be somewhere between 2 to 2.6. In comparison, the human stomach is somewhere between 1.5 to 3.5 with its digestive juices. When using the Lemon Tek methodology for psilocybin magic truffles, the citric acid works to remove the phosphate group through dephosphorylation.

 

By removing the group from the psilocybin molecule, the psilocybin becomes psilocin. It’s the bioactive form of the substance, creating the same chemical reaction that happens in the stomach. 

When someone takes psilocin instead of psilocybin, there can be less nausea after consuming the magic truffles using the Lemon Tek methodology. At the same time, bioavailability rates rise for the preferred product.  That means people start feeling the effects more rapidly than if they consumed raw mushroom materials, including powders. Since Lemon Tek hits the stomach at an almost equal acidity level, it’s ready to get digested right away.

This can be tricky. When starting microdosing it always helps to set your intentions and think  about what you want to get out of it. That may for example be; increased focus, mental clarity  or more confidence. When you set an intention you can also keep record of whether  microdosing is giving you the effects you wanted, keep in mind this can take some time and  requires that you find the amount of truffle that works for you. Also be open minded to  experiencing other effects to what you first imagined or expected.

The sub perceptual nature of microdosing means that going about daily activities is completely possible and there should not be a negative interaction with your attention or behavior. However, for the first time you take a micro dose or if you feel like the dose is having effects stronger beyond the sub perceptual we recommend to be in a calm environment where you are free.

The active ingredient in the microdose is called psilocybin which is classed as  a hallucinogen. This class of substances does not have the same addictive properties as illicit  drugs such as opioids or stimulants, therefore they are not considered physically addictive,  meaning they are not considered harmful to the body and you will not experience negative  withdrawal effects. They can however be psychologically addictive, this means that a user may  become dependent on the mood boosting and temporary state of mind the truffle brings. There  is currently very little evidence for negative risks involved with microdosing but more research is  required. 

This depends on the person. Some people report an effect after a single dose, while others can  take a few weeks to notice changes. Always keep in mind that microdosing is designed to give  sub perceptual; meaning it should not be felt on a conscious perceptual level.

The sub perceptual nature of microdosing means that going about daily activities such as  driving a car is completely possible and should not affect your attention or abilities while  driving. However for the first time you take a micro dose or if you feel like the dose is having  effects stronger than the sub perceptual we recommend not to drive a vehicle.

Research into psychedelics show that they are one of the safest substances to consume, for example a 2010 study reported psilocybin mushrooms to have the least risks compared to other substances.

Much of our understanding into the risks comes from research on full psychedelic doses, assuming that a microdose carries less risk is in part true but not the full story. The risks to microdosing are highly dependent on your setting, who you are with and how much you are taking. We always recommend to inform yourself on the recommendations for consumption and routine and when in doubt always consult a medical professional before your microdosing journey and keep them informed if you start to experience any negative effects. 

Finding your sweet spot is all about finding the quantity of truffle that gives you your unique  optimal effect., which is a highly individual journey. To find your sweet spot, we recommend  starting with the standard 1 gram of dose, give it a few doses before changing this amount. If  after a few doses you feel you are not experiencing any changes then you can try to increase  the dose slightly, for example start taking 1.2 grams. If you experienced the 1 gram dose as  being too intense then try taking slightly less for example 0.8 grams.

Be patient! Finding your sweet spot can take time. To facilitate the process we recommend to  keep a record (for example a diary or notes on your phone) on moments you feel the microdose  may be having an influence, for example maybe there was a day where you felt more focused at  work, perhaps you gave a presentation and felt more relaxed and calm giving it or you found a  creative solution to a difficult problem. Keeping track of these small moments can give you a  better idea on whether you need to adjust the 1 gram. Need some help weighing? We sell a microdosing bundle with truffles and a precision scale for just this purpose, see more here.

It's important to note that a full psychedelic trip typically requires approximately 10 grams,  while a minimum of 7 grams is needed for a lighter experience. If you accidentally take too  much during microdosing, you may experience heightened colors or glowing sensations,  decreased focus, and a desire to sit quietly. You may also find yourself giggling uncontrollably  without any obvious cause. If these symptoms become too intense, consuming sugar can help  to neutralize the effects. Always remember that microdosing is designed to be sub perceptual  and therefore not felt on a conscious perceptual level.

occasionaly, microdosers do report that shortly after a dose they begin to feel a headache (it is an uncommon side effect). There are many factors that may explain why some individuals  experience headaches and others don’t, they can be summarized into the following points 

• Dehydration, make sure that you are keeping a steady fluid intake while  microdosing to prevent dehydration which can exacerbate headaches. 

• Some recent studies show that psilocybin can increase a naturally occurring  substance in the body called nitric oxide, this increase can trigger headaches.  While psilocybin has been shown to increase nitric oxide levels in the body, the link 

between nitric oxide and headaches is not fully understood. More research is  needed to determine if nitric oxide plays a significant role in the development of  headaches after microdosing. 

• Physical tension. Often taking a psychedelic especially in the beginning can the  cause the user to feel anxious which can lead to inflammation in the gut and  muscles to tense which can increase the risk of developing a headache. To reduce  the risk of a tension headache, you can practice mindful breathing, inform yourself  about the potential effects and implement calming behaviours that you use in your  everyday life.

Overall, it is important to approach microdosing with caution and to seek professional guidance  before starting. If you experience persistent headaches or other adverse effects while  microdosing, it is recommended to discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional.

Having a goodnights rest tends not to be negatively impacted by microdosing. There is actually  growing evidence that microdosing can help sleep. To avoid possible sleep disturbances we recommend to take the dose in the morning rather than at night. If microdosing begins to interfere with your sleep in a negative way we recommend to stop microdosing.

This is absolutely possible, and becoming relatively popular. While we do not recommend  going to a museum on a full dose, taking a microdose may make you feel more relaxed and  appreciative of your surroundings. It is important to keep in mind that because a microdose is  designed to give sub perceptual effects, it is extremely unlikely you will have a strong effect in  the museum. Note that at the very least you need 7 grams to have a mild experience.

For a long time it was believed that the effects of psilocybin depended on one's body weight / body mass, however according to recent research this belief is now considered inaccurate. A recent found that a fixed dose of psilocybin affected participants the same regardless of their body mass, weight, height or sex. What does this mean for microdosing? In this context, a single 1 gram microdose is the standard for everyone, regardless of body mass. 

Microdosing is not a one size fits all experience. For example while many microdosers will  experience increased focus and concentration, others will find that it interferes with  concentration. If you are not experiencing what you were hoping it can help to adjust the  dosage you're taking, spend some time trialing the amount that works for you, and the routine  that works for you. Moreover, it is beneficial to add microdosing into a holistic health approach, meaning you work on all pillars of wellness; mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, social and  intellectual.

For microdosing we recommend using the tampanensis strain. The effects of using other truffles  to microdose can differ on an individual level such as an increased sense of creativity. While  differentiating between the truffles when doing full doses is much easier, it is not so  straightforward with microdosing.

A general dosage guide for fresh truffles is as follows: 

Microdose, 0.5- 3.5 grams: improved mood, greater focus and flow, creative ideas

Festival dose 3.5-5 grams: light euphoria, heightened emotions, light visual distortions Standard dose 7-10 grams: introspection, creative flow state, mild euphoria 

Moderate dose 12.5-25 grams: amplified emotions, altered visuals, new sense of meaning and  connection 

Megadose 30-50 grams: intense euphoria, mystical experiences, profoundly deep introspection

Heroic dose 50+ grams: extreme somatic awareness, ego dissolution, over powering visuals 

While psilocybin truffles are legal for the purchase from the age of 18 in The Netherlands, there  is evidence that it may be better to wait until at least the mid-20s to use psychedelics. This is  because the brain does not fully develop until about the age of 25, therefore, an individual  younger than this may not have the cognitive capacities to comprehend and process everything  that may arise during a psychedelic experience. There is currently very little evidence that  microdosing has adverse effects on the wellbeing of older adults. To summarize, any age from  early 20s is suitable for psilocybin truffle experiences

Microdosing should not be combined with medications without first consulting a licensed  healthcare professional. Certain medications may interact negatively with microdoses of  psychedelic substances and result in harmful physical or mental health effects. Additionally,  individuals who are already taking medications for mental health conditions should be  especially cautious about combining these medications with microdosing, as it may exacerbate  existing symptoms or cause adverse reactions.

For many individuals microdosing has a holistic impact, meaning it impacts all the pillars of  wellbeing; physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, economical, occupational  and social. Impacts to the spiritual well being may present as the mind and emotions coming  together in a more connected way, allowing you to reframe and organise events and concepts in  your mind. This reframing can bring peace and lift mental fatigue.  

There is currently no research on the safety of microdosing psychedelics during the process  of egg freezing. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a definitive answer to this question.

It's possible to feel more emotional after microdosing, as the practice can increase one's  sensitivity to their thoughts and feelings. Microdosing can help individuals become more  introspective and self-aware, which may lead to increased emotional processing. However, it's  important to note that everyone's experience with microdosing is unique and may vary. It's  always best to start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed, while being mindful of  any changes in mood or emotions. If you're concerned about your emotional state after  microdosing, it's best to speak with a healthcare professional.

Feeling confused after microdosing is not a common experience, but it's possible that some individuals may have this reaction. Microdosing can affect each person differently, and it's possible that certain doses or substances may cause confusion or cognitive difficulties. It's important to start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed, while paying close attention to any changes in cognition or mood. If you continue to experience confusion after microdosing, it's best to speak with a healthcare professional. 

It is possible to microdose and drink alcohol although we do not advise to do so. Alcohol can  lower the beneficial effects of microdosing and thus counteract the experience. We recommend  taking a microdose in a sober state to receive maximum benefits. It is always important to  consult with a healthcare professional before combining any substances

We do not advise microdosing while consuming other substances. There are many potential  interaction effects between the psilocybin in the truffle and other substances, many of these  interactions can be negative and give unpleasant experiences. We recommend taking a  microdose in a sober state to receive maximum benefits. It is always important to consult with a  healthcare professional before combining any substances.

There is currently a lack of research on this topic. It has been shown in several studies that  psilocybin (the psychoactive ingredient in the microdose) can be passed from the mother to the  fetus and therefore could potentially have negative side effects for both the mother and  fetus. We therefore do not recommend microdosing while pregnant. It is important to err on  the side of caution and seek guidance from a healthcare professional before using any new  supplements or medications during pregnancy.

It is common that people who want to start microdosing are already taking prescription  medication. There is much research on the efficacy of psilocybin in treating depression and  related disorders, however the combination of the two can have unpredictable and potentially  dangerous effects. Antidepressants work by altering the levels of certain neurotransmitters in  the brain, and adding microdoses of psychedelics to the mix can interfere with the delicate  balance of these chemicals, potentially leading to adverse effects. Additionally, microdosing can  sometimes cause an increase in anxiety or emotional sensitivity, which can be especially  problematic for those with depression or anxiety disorders. If you are interested in microdosing  and are currently taking antidepressants, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional  before making any changes to your medication regimen.

Functional mushrooms are a type of mushrooms that have various health benefits, such as  boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, improving cognitive function, and  supporting overall wellness. When microdosing with psilocybin, some people choose to  combine it with functional mushrooms to enhance the overall benefits. It is important to keep in  mind that combining different substances can have unpredictable effects, so it's important to  talk to a medical professional before combining psilocybin with functional mushrooms or any  other substances. 

We offer various microdosing bundle deals, click here to learn more.

Recent research has shown that microdosing may help maximise the benefits of working out by helping to induce a mindful state, which can among other things reduce the rate of perceived of exertion. In a work out setting this may allow the individual to push more weight, run longer  and or faster and feel more self esteem, this increased exertion can trigger the release of more endorphins and dopamine which leave you feeling happier and satisfied. Furthermore, microdosing has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties which can support the body's recovery and immunity after workouts.

Despite these findings, it is important to note that the use of psychedelics for athletic  enhancement is still considered experimental and not widely accepted in the sports community.  Additionally, the use of any substance during exercise should be approached with caution and  should always be discussed with a healthcare professional.

There is currently very little to no evidence that microdosing psilocybin is addictive. While little evidence exists of psilocybin’s addictive potential, this research  field is relatively young and it is possible we may gain further insights in the near future. Like all  substances it is important to take caution when consuming and if you or someone you know starts to experience unwanted dependencies to consult a medical professional.

It is common to want to experience a full trip while in a microdosing routine. It is however  recommended to take slightly more than you would normally take as microdosing will build up  some tolerance to psilocybin. The body can build a tolerance to psilocybin relatively quickly,  typically within a few days of repeated use. This means that if you take psilocybin on one day,  and then take it again the next day, you may need to take a higher dose to achieve the same  effects. The exact rate at which tolerance develops can vary based on a number of factors,  including the individual's metabolism, the dosage and frequency of use, and the specific strain  or source of the psilocybin. It's important to note that tolerance to psilocybin can also be affected by individual factors such as genetics, age, and overall health. Therefore, it's important  to take breaks between doses- especially after taking a full dose we recommend to wait  between 1 and 2 weeks minimum before continuing with microdosing.

Microdosing while on antibiotic medication is not recommended. This is due to the potential  negative interaction effects between compounds in the truffles and the medications. Some of  these interactions may decrease the effectiveness of the antibiotic. 

It is not uncommon to find the taste of the truffles undesirable, to make the taste more  palatable we recommend eating a small amount of high quality dark chocolate (we have curated a selection here) at the same time you chew the truffles. Make sure the chocolate is low in sugar as sugar will lower the effects of  the psilocybin. You can also make a tea by chopping the truffle into very small pieces then  adding to warm water and a tea bag, after 6-8 minutes of seeping you can drink the tea (it is not  necessary to swallow the small chunks left at the bottom). Lastly you can try lemon tekking,  see more here.

There is currently no evidence of negative side effects of microdosing while on a period. In fact,  there is growing evidence that microdosing can help with menstrual pain, premenstrual  syndrome (PMS), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). If you have any concerns we advise you  to consult a medical practitioner on your individual situation

Yes, microdosing during a cacao ceremony or taking part in a ceremony while you are in a period  of microdosing is possible. Cacao contains compounds such as theobromine, phenethylamine,  and anandamide that are known to have psychoactive effects.

 

One of the primary benefits of combining cacao with psilocybin is that it can help to mitigate  some of the negative side effects of psilocybin, such as nausea and anxiety. The theobromine in  cacao, for example, is a natural vasodilator that can help to relax blood vessels and promote  healthy blood flow, which can in turn help to reduce feelings of anxiety and discomfort.

There are no foods that are strictly prohibited while microdosing. A small exception is at the moment you consume a microdose, do not consume foods or drinks with sugar (these may  lower the effects of psilocybin) and wait at least 30 minutes after swallowing a microdose before eating any food. 

 

 

Microdosing is becoming increasingly popular to do alongside meditation, simply take your  microdose before mediation. For many the microdose helps with focus, calmness and thus is a  positive addition to meditation.

Within The Netherlands psilocybin truffles are 100% legal. Outside of The Netherlands this is  often not that case. In various countries for example there are different rules for the sale,  possession, transport and cultivation of psilocybin truffles, meaning that you may be able to  carry it with you but it is not possible to purchase in the country you are in. We strongly advise  to research where you are going and what the regulations are for that specific location

Our microdosing truffles are an organic material that can degrade over time if not stored  properly. Refrigeration helps to slow down this process and preserve the potency and  effectiveness of the substance. Storing microdoses in a refrigerator can help protect the  substance from these environmental factors and maintain its potency

The truffle can last several days outside of the fridge. If they are left outside for too long then  the chances they will expire earlier greatly increases.

This depends on the country and city you are visiting. If you decide to travel with any form of  psilocybin always inform yourself of the risks associated with doing so.

No you can not freeze the truffles, this is because the psilocybin will breakdown, rendering it  non-psychoactive.

To know the exact psilocybin content you can purchase one of our Miraculix Psilocybin testing  kits. This is the first scientifically validated test kit for quantifying the concentration in magic  mushrooms, truffles and extracts.

If you purchase our standard 10 gram or 15 gram jar for microdosing then it can be handy to  have a scale to measure how much you are taking. The brain fitness jar of 10 microdoses  already comes pre-measured into one gram blister packages.

Using the scale is very simple, we recommend to place a small container on top of the scale so  the truffle can sit safely, tare the scale so the screen reads 0, then measure out your desired  dose. The scale comes with instructions as well.

Between the truffles and dried mushrooms there is a roughly 10:1 ratio; 1 gram of dried mushrooms is  about the same as 10 grams of truffles. Usually a mushroom microdose is therefore 0.1 gram same as 1 gram of truffle.

While they are different products, they share the same active ingredient; psilocybin, therefore  the effects tend to be quite the same. This will also depend on what strain you are used to  taking, as different strains can have slightly different effects.

Yes! Many people like to grow and dehydrate their mushrooms to make microdosing capsules.  You can find our grow kits here.

The Fadiman routine refers to taking a microdose every third day, meaning you take the dose  then wait two days before taking your next microdose.

There are multiple possible microdosing routines, but we generally recommend the format  designed by Dr. Fadiman. This routine is often abbreviated to '1 day on, two days off'. This  means after every microdose you take, you wait 2 days until taking the next microdose. Learn  more here.

While we recommend a 1 gram microdose every three days as the standard microdose, this  may not be the most effective option for every individual, and therefore you may need to alter  this standard to work best for you. Finding the routine that works for you involves how often  you are taking the microdose and how much you are taking. To learn more about routines click here.

While you take a microdose every three days, functional mushrooms are recommended to be  taken every day. We offer several microdosing kits which incorporate functional mushrooms,  click here to learn more about these kits.

The reason we recommend taking a microdose every three days is to reduce building a  tolerance for psilocybin. In this context "tolerance" refers to the lowered response of the body  to a substance taken repeatedly. By taking a microdose every three days, the effects remain  stable and the tolerance to psilocybin stays minimal- meaning your one gram dose will give you  consistent results.

It is recommended to follow the Fadiman routine for 6 to 8 weeks. After that period it is  suggested to take a temporary break of at least 2 weeks. This allows the body to reset its  tolerance to psilocybin. After the break you can begin again with your microdosing routine.

For a long time it was believed that the effects of psilocybin depended on one's body weight / body mass, however according to recent research this belief is now considered inaccurate. A 2022 study found that a fixed dose of psilocybin affected participants the same regardless of their body mass, weight, height or sex. What does this mean for microdosing? In this context, a single 1 gram microdose is the standard for everyone, regardless of body mass. Curious to know more? Check out the original study here, or for a summary click here.

Psilocybin truffles, also known as magic truffles, are a type of fungus that contains the psychoactive compound psilocybin. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound that is classified as a hallucinogen, which means it can alter your perception, mood, and thought processes.

When consumed, psilocybin is converted to psilocin in the body, which activates serotonin receptors in the brain. This leads to an altered state of consciousness that can include changes in perception, thought, and emotions. The effects can last several hours and may include visual and auditory hallucinations, synesthesia, and feelings of euphoria, anxiety, or introspection.

The effects of psilocybin truffles can vary depending on the individual, the dosage and type consumed, and the setting in which they are consumed. Generally speaking, psilocybin truffles can produce a range of psychological and physical effects that can last for several hours. Some of the common effects include:

  1. Alterations in perception: Psilocybin truffles can cause changes in sensory perception, such as vivid colors, distorted shapes, and enhanced sound perception.

  2. Emotional and psychological effects: Psilocybin truffles can produce intense emotional experiences, ranging from euphoria and joy to anxiety and fear. It can also lead to introspection and profound changes in thought patterns.

  3. Physical effects: Psilocybin truffles can cause physical effects such as increased heart rate, sweating, and dilated pupils.

  4. Transcendent or mystical experiences: Psilocybin truffles have been associated with experiences of transcendence, mystical experiences, and a sense of unity with the world and others.

  5. Therapeutic effects: Psilocybin truffles have been studied for their potential therapeutic benefits, particularly for treating anxiety, depression, and addiction

 

It's important to note that psilocybin truffles can have unpredictable effects, and can be dangerous for people with certain medical conditions or those who are not experienced with psychedelics. It's important to use them in a safe environment with appropriate support and guidance if needed.

 

Before taking any psilocybin dose make sure you have an empty stomach- at least three hours after your last meal. This is so that it can be best absorbed into the body.

 

To take the dose you can either chew it, make a tea or use a method called lemon tekking. We do not recommend swallowing the chunks directly. Below you will find instructions for each of these methods. 

If you opt for the chew method make sure you chew until you feel no more chunks- it should feel like a paste in the mouth, then swallow- if you are not a fan of the taste (you’re not alone there!) You can chew with a small amount of dark chocolate at the same time.

If you make a tea, chop the truffle into very small pieces and add to warm water and a tea bag, seep for 10-15 minutes then drink everything. Avoid consuming sugar with the dose as this will lower the effects.

For lemon tekking follow these steps; 

  1. To create your own Lemon Tekking blend, grind your truffles into a fine paste / powder using a grinder or blender. Place the powder in a shot glass and ensure it's evenly spread out.

  2. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture, making sure to coat all the solids completely. You may need a second lemon to ensure full coverage. Fresh lemon juice is recommended for best results.

  3. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally for even “cooking”. You can also use a shaker to let the citric acid do its job.

  4. For those extra prone to nausea, use a coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove truffle pieces from the fluid. Collect all the juice in a glass and discard the remaining material in a safe location.

  5. Your Lemon Tek blend is ready to consume, whether with or without the truffle paste / powder. Treat it like a shot and drink it all at once.

 

Psilocybin truffles, like any psychoactive substance, can have both positive and negative effects. While they are generally considered safe when used responsibly, it's essential to be aware of potential risks and side effects. Here are some important points to consider:

Psychological Effects: Psilocybin truffles can induce altered states of consciousness and can profoundly affect perception, cognition, and emotions. While many users have positive and insightful experiences, it's important to note that the effects can vary from person to person. Some individuals may experience anxiety, confusion, or a sense of being overwhelmed, especially at higher doses or in unfamiliar environments.

Physical Effects: Psilocybin truffles can cause physical sensations such as increased heart rate, dilated pupils, and changes in body temperature. These effects are generally temporary and subside as the substance is metabolized by the body.

Pre-existing Conditions: Individuals with pre-existing psychiatric conditions or a family history of such conditions should exercise caution when considering the use of psilocybin truffles. These substances can potentially exacerbate or trigger latent psychological issues. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns or are unsure about your suitability for their use.

Risky Environments: The effects of psilocybin truffles can be greatly influenced by the setting and environment in which they are consumed. It's crucial to ensure that you are in a safe, comfortable, and supportive setting to minimize the risk of negative experiences. A trusted and responsible trip sitter can also be beneficial in providing guidance and support during the experience.

Interactions with Other Substances: Psilocybin truffles should not be mixed with other substances, especially alcohol or other psychoactive drugs. Combining substances can lead to unpredictable and potentially harmful interactions, amplifying the risks and side effects.

 

As a general guideline, the effects typically last between 4 to 6 hours, although the peak intensity of the experience is usually reached within the first 2 to 3 hours.

Our psilocybin truffles are best stored in a fridge (2-4º). They are not vacuum sealed so they will like it best in the jar they come in. Keep them in a cool and dark place: our Psilocybin truffles are best stored in a cool and dark environment to minimize exposure to heat, light, and moisture. A refrigerator set to a temperature between 2-4°C (35-43°F) is ideal. In these conditions the truffles last for around 6 weeks.

 

Psilocybin truffles and mushrooms both contain the psychoactive compound psilocybin, but they differ in their appearance, formation, and the way they are consumed. 

It's important to note that while psilocybin truffles and mushrooms can offer similar psychedelic effects, their dosages, potency, and specific effects may vary. It's crucial to exercise caution, follow proper dosage guidelines, and be aware of the legal status and regulations surrounding their use in your location.

Psilocybin truffles are not typically included in standard drug tests. However, it's important to note that there are specialized tests available that can detect the presence of psilocybin or psilocin in the system if specifically requested. These tests are not commonly included in routine drug screenings and are typically more expensive and less frequently conducted.

 

During a psilocybin truffle trip, the effects can vary from person to person and depend on factors such as dosage, set (mindset), setting (environment), and individual sensitivity. It's important to approach the experience with a positive mindset and in a safe, comfortable setting. Here are some general expectations for a psilocybin truffle trip:

  • Altered Perception: Psilocybin truffles can induce alterations in perception, including changes in sensory experiences. Colors may appear more vibrant, textures more pronounced, and sounds may be enhanced or distorted. Visual hallucinations, such as geometric patterns or morphing objects, can also occur, particularly at higher doses.

 

  • Emotional Effects: Psilocybin can influence emotions and mood. It can lead to feelings of euphoria, joy, and connectedness. On the other hand, it may also bring up deep emotions, introspection, and moments of emotional intensity. Some individuals may experience a range of emotions, which can vary throughout the trip.

 

  • Introspection and Insight: Psilocybin truffle trips often involve introspection and self-reflection. Many people report gaining new perspectives, insights, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their lives. It can lead to profound thoughts, increased self-awareness, and personal growth.

 

  • Time Distortion: The perception of time can be altered during a psilocybin trip. Time may seem to slow down or speed up, and moments can feel stretched or compressed. This can contribute to a sense of timelessness and a different relationship with the passage of time.

 

  • Physical Sensations: Psilocybin truffles can produce physical sensations in the body. These may include changes in body temperature, tingling sensations, increased heart rate, or a feeling of energy flowing through the body. Some individuals may experience mild discomfort, such as nausea or muscle tension, particularly during the come-up phase of the trip.

 

  • Mindset and Setting Importance: Set (mindset) and setting (environment) play significant roles in shaping the psilocybin experience. Being in a comfortable and safe environment with trusted individuals can enhance the likelihood of a positive trip. A supportive and calm mindset can also contribute to a more pleasant and meaningful experience.

 

It's important to note that experiences can be highly subjective, and effects can vary from person to person. It's advisable to start with a lower dose, particularly if you are new to psychedelics, and allow yourself ample time for the experience. Having a trip sitter present, who is experienced with psychedelics, can also provide guidance, support, and ensure safety throughout the journey.

 

Psilocybin truffles can be used recreationally, but it's important to approach their use responsibly and with awareness of potential risks. Recreational use of psilocybin truffles refers to using them for the purpose of experiencing the psychedelic effects and seeking an enjoyable or entertaining experience. Here are a few points to consider:

 

  1. Set and Setting: Creating a suitable set (mindset) and setting (environment) is crucial for a positive recreational experience. Being in a comfortable, safe, and familiar environment with trusted individuals can enhance the likelihood of a positive trip.

 

  1. Responsible Use: It's important to use psilocybin truffles responsibly and in moderation. Start with a lower dose, particularly if you are new to psychedelics, and gradually increase if desired. Being mindful of the dosage can help manage the intensity of the experience and minimize potential risks.

 

  1. Awareness of Risks: Although psilocybin truffles are generally considered safe when used responsibly, there are potential risks and side effects associated with their use. These include psychological distress, anxiety, confusion, and a sense of being overwhelmed. Individuals with pre-existing mental health conditions should exercise caution and consult with a healthcare professional before using psilocybin truffles recreationally.

 

Taking a small amount of psilocybin truffles and then taking more later, within a relatively short time frame, is known as "redosing." Redosing with psilocybin truffles can potentially increase the duration of the effects, but it is unlikely to produce the same level of intensity as taking the entire dose at once. Here are a few things to consider:

 

Tolerance: Psilocybin and other psychedelics can induce rapid tolerance, meaning that the effects diminish shortly after ingestion. If you take a small amount initially and then redose, the second dose will have reduced or no additional effects due to the development of tolerance.

 

Timing: The timing of the redose matters. If you redose too soon after the initial dose, you may experience an elongation of the trip rather than a significant increase in intensity. Redosing after the peak effects have subsided may have a lesser impact compared to redosing during the peak or early stages of the experience.

 

Psilocybin, the active compound in psilocybin truffles, has shown promising potential in the treatment of anxiety and depression. However, it's important to note that further research is still needed, and psilocybin is not currently approved as a mainstream treatment for these conditions in many countries.

The use of psilocybin truffles for the treatment of anxiety and depression should be approached with caution and under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

 

The short answer: no. Psilocybin truffles, like other psychedelics, are not considered physically addictive. Unlike substances such as opioids or nicotine, psilocybin does not create a physical dependence that leads to withdrawal symptoms or cravings when discontinued. However, it's important to note that psychological dependence or misuse can occur with any substance, including psychedelics.

Nonetheless, it's crucial to approach psychedelics with caution and use them responsibly. They should be taken in calm settings, and adhering to recommended dosages.
