What is the best dose for magic mushrooms or magic truffles?

When you go on magic truffles or magic mushrooms, the dose often makes the trip. But what the ideal dose of magic truffles or mushrooms is varies quite a bit. Between individuals, of course, but also between mushroom varieties and dried versus fresh options, for example. Now how much should you take to have a mild or intense trip? And what is the perfect microdose for you? Read the answers to these important questions here!

Psilocybin is the substance in magic mushrooms and truffles that makes you trip. For a good trip, you need about 25mg of psilocybin. Now, the amount of psilocybin varies quite a bit between mushroom strains and mushroom harvests. Determining the right dose of magic mushrooms is more difficult than choosing the right amount of truffles.

So with the naked eye you can never tell how strong magic mushrooms are in that regard. Also, choosing a specific species does not guarantee strength. Do you feel that mushroom trips get out of hand more often than truffle sessions? There is then a very good explanation for this. This study showed that in dried magic mushrooms the psilocybin content ranged from 0.2 to 2%. So one shroom was 10 times stronger than the other! Thus, the ideal dose of magic mushrooms has quite a range.

For magic truffles, on the contrary, they have a fairly stable and therefore predictable psilocybin content. The variation in strength is not as extreme as with magic mushrooms. Although one truffle may still be 3 times stronger than another, according to research . So whether you take truffles or shrooms: know that the dose you take may be a not-so-ideal gamble.

Tip: test your magic mushrooms and find out strength and dose

So without trial and error, how can you figure out how strong your magic mushrooms and truffles are and therefore what the ideal dose is? The answer: this psilocybin test . With this test kit you will know whether you have potent or weaker magic mushrooms or truffles in your hands, upon which you can adjust your dose. Ideal if you don’t fancy a suboptimal trip or ineffective microdosing experience.

Besides the dose of a drug, by the way, there are more things that determine how intense your experience turns out. Some of the most important:

• with whom you are: with a few close friends or just a lot of vague acquaintances?
• Where you are and what you are doing there: a 50,000-person festival versus at home: this makes quite a difference.
• how rested you are: starting a trip exhausted is a bad idea.
• your stress levels and mood: emotions are often magnified during tripping.
• the setting, atmosphere and environment: good vibes are actually essential for a good trip. From lighting to being able to sit comfortably.

So the proper dose of magic mushrooms varies quite a bit between strains and harvests. Also, dried mushrooms are ten times stronger than the fresh varieties. In general, these are the guidelines for a dose of magic mushrooms, depending on the effects you want to go for:

Dosage of fresh mushrooms

• very mild to light trip: 1.75 grams per kilogram of body weight
• medium strong trip: 2.5 grams per kilogram of body weight
• intense trip: 3.89 grams per kilogram of body weight

Dosage of dried mushrooms

• very mild to light trip: 0.25 grams per kilogram of body weight
• medium strong trip: 0.35 grams per kilogram of body weight
• intense trip: 0.55 grams per kilogram of body weight

How do you get mushrooms?

Mushrooms have been banned by law for a number of years. At least: trading and thus buying it. Growing your own is not a problem in our rather liberal little country. With a little love and the right conditions, you can easily harvest your own, legal mushrooms yourself. This is super simple with one of our mushroom grow kits.

Before tripping on the prepackaged truffles in our shop you can roughly take the following dose:

Dosage of fresh truffles

• very mild to light trip: 0.96 grams per kilogram of body weight
• medium strong trip: 1.35 grams per kilogram of body weight
• intense trip: 2.14 grams per kilogram of body weight

If you buy your truffles dried, you will need less of these. In that case, these are the correct dosages:

Dosage of dried truffles

• very mild to light trip: 0.42 grams per kilogram of body weight
• medium strong trip: 0.59 grams per kilogram of body weight
• intense trip: 0.93 grams per kilogram of body weight

A microdose is 5-10% of a medium dose of magic mushrooms truffles. So just divide the number of grams by a number between 5 and 10 to know the correct microdose. For this, you need a scale that can weigh such doses reliably and precisely. Even more convenient: buy prepackaged microdoses of truffles . You push these out of the package when it’s time for a mini dose according to your microdosing protocol, and you’re done. If you want to microdose with magic mushrooms, we recommend growing and testing them yourself so you know how strong they are.
