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.

Yes! It is important to understand that microdosing does not mean getting high nor does it induce a 'trip', proper microdosing should be sub-perceptual. Hence if you don't feel ready yet to experience a  full psychedelic experience in which you experience a distorted reality, but you’d like to get the benefits of psilocybin then microdosing is likely your best option.

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 known ways 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.

Taking more than 1 gram then becomes what is colloquially known as a macrodose- something in between a micro and full dose. Taking several microdoses at once can increase perceptions such as seeing colours more deeply, increasing reflective thoughts. The effects are highly individual as people have unique biochemistry, personality traits, and life experiences that can all influence how they respond to psilocybin. For example, some people may be more sensitive to the effects of psilocybin due to genetic factors or differences in brain chemistry.

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).

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic substance produced by psilocybin mushrooms, also called ‘magic’ mushrooms. With the modern revival of psychedelic research, psilocybin is being investigated for its therapeutic potential as a treatment to help psychological disorders such as depression and post traumatic stress disorder. Magic truffles are often dubbed the safest “recreational” drug to take, with those who take them reported to be the most sensible and well prepared, according to the 2017 Global Drug Survey. Furthermore the FDA has cleared them of any addictive properties.

Psilocybin is a potent psychedelic compound found in certain types of mushrooms. When ingested, psilocybin is rapidly metabolized into psilocin, which is the primary psychoactive compound responsible for the subjective effects of psilocybin.

The effects of psilocybin are thought to be primarily mediated by its action on serotonin receptors in the brain. Specifically, psilocybin binds to serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptors, which are found primarily in the cerebral cortex, a region of the brain responsible for higher cognitive functions such as perception, thought, and decision-making.

The activation of 5-HT2A receptors by psilocybin leads to changes in the functioning of several brain regions and neural networks, including the default mode network (DMN), which is a network of brain regions that are typically active during introspective or self-referential thinking. Psilocybin has been shown to decrease DMN activity and increase functional connectivity between other brain regions, leading to alterations in perception, thought, and consciousness.

Psilocybin has also been shown to increase the release of the neurotransmitter glutamate, which is involved in learning and memory, as well as the regulation of mood and emotion.

Overall, the effects of psilocybin on the brain are complex and involve multiple neurotransmitter systems and brain regions. While research into the neural mechanisms of psilocybin is still ongoing, it is clear that psilocybin has profound effects on brain function and has the potential to be a powerful tool for understanding the neural basis of consciousness and treating certain psychiatric disorders

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. (Still curious? Check out these recent scientific articles for some more information, Fadiman & Korb (2019), Bornemann (2020) Petranker et al., 2022)

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. 

Taking a break of at least 2 weeks is recommended after 6 to 8 weeks of microdosing. This helps to restore your psilocybin tolerance which will have built up during this time. Building a tolerance in this context refers to the lowered response of the body to a substance taken repeatedly.  By taking a break, the body has time to fully metabolize the psychedelic substance and clear it from the system. This can help to restore sensitivity to the substance and enable you to experience the desired effects once again without needing to increase the dosage.

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.

Rarely, 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. 

Interestingly there are many studies showing that psilocybin can be used as an effective prevention to migraines and to reduce their effect if the user is currently experiencing one. 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, see for example this recently published paper. 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 was 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 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.

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.

There is growing evidence that microdosing can help individuals who suffer from depression, see below some recent interesting studies on this subject. While there are many positive cases, negative experiences are always possible, moreover, attempting to self-medicate with microdoses can be dangerous and may lead to serious mental and physical health risks. If you are experiencing symptoms of depression, please consult with a licensed healthcare professional who can provide appropriate treatment and support.

The Viability of Microdosing Psychedelics as a Strategy to Enhance Cognition and Well-being - An Early Review

While psilocybin truffles is 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.

If you are considering microdosing while taking medication, it is important to discuss this with your healthcare provider to determine whether microdosing is safe for you and to adjust your medication regimen accordingly. It is also essential to seek professional guidance on the proper dosage and frequency of microdosing

Some 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

There is growing evidence that microdosing can help individuals who experience anxiety related symptoms. While there are many positive cases, negative experiences are always possible, moreover, attempting to self-medicate with microdoses can be dangerous and may lead to serious mental and physical health risks. If you are experiencing anxiety related symptoms, please consult with a licensed healthcare professional who can provide appropriate treatment and support.

There are many studies indicating that microdosing may help with facilitating memory. This remains a relatively understudied field and thus conclusive answers are not available yet. Below are some links to recently published papers on the topic of memory and microdosing. 

Psychedelic Microdosing: Prevalence and Subjective Effects

The acute effects of classic psychedelics on memory in humans

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.  

Microdosing may help with burnout symptomatology, particularly by increasing alertness and focus, boosting energy and cheerfulness, enhancing awareness and increasing feelings of openness and sociability. The effectiveness of using microdosing for burnout is not going to work for every individual and should be discussed with a medical professional. There currently is a lack of research on microdosing to help with burnout, for some more context click here for a 2021 paper on this.

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.

However, it is important to note that any substance that is ingested during the egg freezing process has the potential to affect the health and viability of the eggs. It is essential to follow the guidance of your healthcare provider and refrain from taking any substances that could potentially interfere with the process or harm the eggs.

Additionally, if you are taking any medications or have any underlying medical conditions, it is important to discuss microdosing with your healthcare provider before starting. They can advise you on the potential risks and benefits of microdosing in your specific situation and provide guidance on how to safely proceed.

Overall, it is always best to err on the side of caution and avoid any substances that could potentially impact your health or the success of the egg freezing process.

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.

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. 

Curious to know more? Check out this 2021 article about famous athletes who are open about their use of psychedelics. 

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.A 2018 study, assessed the abuse potential of medical psilocybin according to the eight factors of the controlled substances act. In this study psilocybin (indicated by mushrooms) was the least harmful overall. 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. Looking for an immunity booster? Check out functional mushrooms reishi and chaga.

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 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.

In addition, cacao can also help to enhance the mood-enhancing effects of psilocybin. The phenethylamine in cacao, for example, is a natural mood enhancer that can help to boost feelings of happiness and well-being, which can complement the effects of psilocybin and enhance the overall psychedelic experience.

However, it is important to note that the effects of combining cacao and psilocybin can vary depending on the individual and the specific dosages used. It is recommended to start with low doses and proceed with caution, and to always seek guidance from a qualified healthcare provider before combining any substances.

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.

In medical terms, a microdose is 10% of a standard dose, therefore a psilocybin truffle microdose is 1 gram as a standard dose (needed for a trip) is 10 grams.

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. 

Within The Netherlands psilocybin truffles are 100% legal.

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 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- 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.

On the bottom of each jar you will find an expiration date- this is typically between 5 and 6 weeks after it leaves our store. When microdoses become very dark in colour, slimey and or have a strange odour it is likley they have expired. If you are unsure feel free to email us a photo, give us a call or pop by the store.

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.

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. If you would like to know more, you can see his own website.

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.

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.
