Mycotrop buying guide
Choosing your magic truffles
Magic truffles are the sclerotia of certain Psilocybe species: underground reserves that contain the same substances as the mushrooms, psilocybin and psilocin. Between two varieties, what changes above all is the strength.
For a first time, choose a mild or medium variety (Mexicana, Pajaritos, Atlantis, Tampanensis, Fantasia) and start low. Varieties rated 4 to 5 out of 5 are for people who already know truffles.

Truffles or mushrooms?
Same substances
Truffles and mushrooms both contain psilocybin and psilocin. Truffles are underground reserves (sclerotia); mushrooms are the fruiting bodies that grow above ground.
Easier to dose
Truffles are sold fresh, in weighed pouches. Even so, their potency varies roughly threefold from batch to batch: always start low.
Prefer to grow your own?
Our mushroom grow kits arrive fully colonised, with a step-by-step setup guide.
Effects and dosage: the essentials
The effects begin within 20–60 minutes, peak after one to two hours, and the experience lasts 3–6 hours (Trimbos Institute, Jellinek, Unity). Perception intensifies, thinking becomes associative and your current mood is amplified; a phase of nausea at the start is common.
Key guidelines
Unity gives 5–9 g of truffles for a normal experience and 10–15 g for a strong one. For a first time: 3–5 g of a strong variety, 5–8 g of a mild one. Don’t eat for 2–3 hours beforehand, and wait at least an hour before considering more.
Reducing the risks
- Never with lithium or an MAOI; if you take any other medication, ask a doctor first.
- Not with a personal or family history of psychosis or bipolar disorder, nor during pregnancy.
- No alcohol or other drugs; choose a calm place and have a sober person with you.
- Don’t drive that day or the next. If someone becomes unwell, call emergency services (112 in the EU).
Microdosing
Four varieties come in packs of 6 pre-weighed 1 g portions. Definition, amounts, schedules and what the research says: see the Microdosing page.
