MAGIC TRUFFLES DOSAGE AND SHROOMS DOSING GUIDE

This article serves as a magic truffles and mushroom dosage guide and aims to underline the importance of cautiously familiarizing yourself with psychedelic truffles and magic mushrooms and carefully exploring how you react to them. Each journey is unique, and its outcome depends entirely on the moment, the person, and the set and setting. Of paramount importance is the dosage of magic truffles or magic mushrooms, among many other parameters. In this article, we discuss microdosing, low-dosing, mid-dosing, and high-dosing psilocybin. We also discuss the science behind these substances, covering the ways they interact with the brain and the body.

When applied appropriately, psilocybin truffles can offer a gentle introduction into the psychedelic realm. The experience comes up in waves, gently going back and forth during the entry phase, which allows the mind to slowly adjust, surrender and let go.

In general, psilocybin is considered safe, but it is important to take the necessary precautions. This can be done through one’s own research, choosing the right dosage, considering potential contraindications, and having a trusted support system in place.

The Difference Between Magic Truffles and Dried Magic Mushrooms

When exploring the realm of natural psychedelics, it’s essential to understand the key differences between magic truffles and magic mushrooms, particularly in terms of safety and creating an optimal psychedelic experience. Both substances offer unique psychoactive properties, but their differences in concentration can significantly impact how they are used responsibly.

Magic truffles, or sclerotia, are compact, underground growths that store nutrients for fungi. They contain the same psychoactive compound, psilocybin, as magic mushrooms. However, magic mushrooms, especially when dried, have a reduced water content, resulting in a higher concentration of psilocybin. This means that dosing with mushrooms requires careful attention to quantity, as a smaller amount can produce effects equivalent to a much larger dose of fresh truffles.

Here’s a practical approach to dosing that can help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience:

• Lower dose: For those new to psychedelics or preferring a milder effect, start with 5-7 grams of fresh truffles, which is roughly equivalent to about 1 gram of dried mushrooms.
• Moderate dose: For a more pronounced but manageable experience, 10-14 grams of fresh truffles or about 2 grams of dried mushrooms might be appropriate.
• Full experience: Experienced users seeking deeper introspection might opt for 15-28 grams of truffles, corresponding to about 2-4 grams of dried mushrooms. We highly recommend doing this experience with guidance. Interested in experiencing a full dose? Check out our psychedelic retreat.

Understanding and respecting these dosing guidelines is crucial for maintaining safety during your psychedelic journey. It’s always wise to start with a lower dose, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the effects, and only increase the dosage based on your comfort level and previous experiences.

Refer to the table provided later in this article for a detailed look at dosing. Remember, it’s always wise to consult with an expert to determine the right amount for your journey. This ensures a safe and meaningful exploration of these profound substances.

A Peek Behind the Curtains: How Does Psilocybin Work?

According to recent Dutch research, psilocybin is non-toxic and not addictive. So far, not a single case of overdose has been reported. What is good to know is that psilocybin has anti-inflammatory effects and supposedly stimulates neurogenesis. Regarding safety and health impact, it ranks number one compared to other substances.

Let’s briefly look into how psilocybin works on the brain. Psilocybin, the psychoactive compound in magic mushrooms and truffles, is converted into psilocin once ingested. Psilocin primarily interacts with serotonin receptors, especially the 5-HT2A receptor. This interaction disrupts normal serotonin signalling, leading to altered perceptions and mood.

The prefrontal cortex, involved in mood and perception, and the thalamus, which regulates sensory information, are significantly affected. Psilocybin also impacts the default mode network (DMN), a brain network associated with self-reflection and daydreaming. Altering the DMN can lead to profound changes in consciousness, including feelings of connectedness and ego dissolution.

These neural effects underlie both the psychedelic experience and the potential therapeutic benefits of psilocybin. Research suggests that psilocybin can disrupt entrenched patterns of thought and emotion, offering promise in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Here is a 2-hour podcast that thoroughly explains psilocybin – it couldn’t have been explained better!

An in-depth understanding of these processes is crucial for safe and effective therapeutic applications of psilocybin. When it comes to safety, we hope to guide you more with the content below, so buckle up.

First Things First

We used to feel embarrassed and uncomfortable when we were about to carry out our latest mischievous plan, and my late grandfather would interrupt us and say, “First things first.” He would remind us to finish any pending tasks or check our safety before proceeding. In the end, we realized he was right.

It’s important to determine your intention before deciding on the dosage of shrooms or truffles for your psychedelic trip. The appropriate amount depends on what you hope to gain from the experience. For example, if you want to have a romantic evening listening to music with a partner, you may want to take a lower dosage. However, if you wish to explore the infinite realms of consciousness and lose all sense of time and identity, you may need to take a higher dosage. 

Setting Your Intention Before Taking Psychedelic Truffles or Mushrooms

Having an intention during a psychedelic journey can help you stay focused and give meaning to your experience. Your intention can be a single phrase or even just one word, and it should not be a specific goal with a predetermined outcome. Instead, it should be a broad theme that allows for a range of possible insights and scenarios. Your intention can be a way to explore a particular aspect of yourself or something you would like to learn more about. By setting an intention, you can stay grounded and centred during your journey, even as you experience an influx of new ideas and sensations.

Let’s discuss each of these journeys in more detail.

Microdosing – A Gentle Practice with Measured Steps

Microdosing involves taking very small amounts of psilocybin truffles or magic mushrooms, typically about 1/10 to 1/20 of a regular dose. For many, this translates to somewhere between 0.1 to 0.4 grams of dried mushrooms or about 0.5 to 1,5 grams of fresh truffles. This practice aims to boost mood, creativity, and focus without inducing the strong psychedelic effects associated with higher doses. The small amount taken in microdosing is meant to provide subtle, beneficial shifts in mood and cognition, making daily tasks, problem-solving, or routine activities feel more engaging or manageable. Unlike the intense visions or deep self-reflection triggered by higher doses, microdosing offers a gentle enhancement of one’s regular state, promoting a sense of wellbeing and mental clarity. It’s crucial to maintain this micro dosage to ensure safety and to achieve the desired gentle effects. The growing popularity of microdosing is a testament to individuals seeking mild, supportive means to enhance their wellbeing and performance in their daily lives. If you’re interested in microdosing, then have a look at our Microdosing Starterbox.

Low-Dose Truffles – Exploration

A low dose of fresh magic truffles containing psilocybin lies between 4 and 9 grams, depending on your weight. As it takes effect, you will notice slight alterations in your visual perception; lights and colours become more vivid and fuller, you’ll feel mildly euphoric, your senses will sharpen, and you’ll see more details in your surroundings. Music may take on a whole new meaning as new patterns and realisations surface to your awareness. This is a beautiful dose if you want to take a more profound walk in nature.

Mid-Dose Truffles – Profound Journey

A mid dose of fresh magic truffles containing psilocybin, ranging from 5 to 13 grams depending on your weight, is considered a well-balanced dose for those seeking a profound psychedelic exploration. With this dosage, you can dive deeper into your mind and its thought pattern. We suggest having a sitter to help you in case you need something in this altered state. This is a dose we recommend when you already have some experience with psychedelic substances. If you’re interested in mid-dosing, then have a look at our Magic Truffles.

High-Dose Truffles – Deep dive

A high dose, approximately 9-21 grams (or more) of psilocybin-containing truffles, should only be considered when you are sufficiently experienced with psychedelics. A high dose will take you beyond visual hallucinations and into the realm of the metaphysical. This can be highly transformative and sometimes challenging. We strongly recommend having a sitter to accompany you. If you’re considering high-dose truffles, you might be interested in our transformative psychedelic retreat.

Weight-based Dosage Guidelines for Magic Truffles

The ideal dosage for magic truffles varies with an individual’s weight. Heavier individuals might need a larger dose to feel the intended effects compared to lighter ones. This is due to the psychoactive substances in magic truffles, mainly psilocybin, spreading throughout the body, with larger body mass potentially diluting the effects. Therefore, adjusting dosage based on weight can help attain the desired mental and physical effects, making the experience safer and more rewarding.

Dosing Recommendation Based On Weight For Magic Truffles Containing Psilocybin

Weight	Microdose (g)	Small dose (g)	Mid-dose (g)	High dose (g)
40-50 kg	0,5 – 0,7	3,8 – 4,7	5,2 – 6,5	8,8 – 11,0
51-60 kg	0,7 – 0,8	4,7 – 5,6	6,5 – 7,8	11,0 – 13,2
61-70 kg	0,8 – 0,9	5,6 – 6,6	7,8 – 9,1	13,2 – 15,4
71-80 kg	0,9 – 1,0	6,6 – 7,5	9,1 – 10,4	15,4 – 17,6
81-90 kg	1,0 – 1,2	7,5 – 8,5	10,4 – 11,7	17,6 – 19,8
91-100 kg	1,2 – 1,3	8,5 – 9,4	11,7 – 13,0	19,8 or more
