WHAT ARE MAGIC TRUFFLES?

Curious about what magic truffles are? And where do they come from? Then you've come to the right place. We are going to explain exactly what magic truffles are and where they come from. Magic truffles are actually not truffles at all. Magic truffles grow underground in the mycelium and function as a kind of food reserve for the magic mushrooms. The official name for the magic truffle is sclerotia. Popularly, magic truffles are also called 'Philosopher's Stones'. This is because it encourages you to think in a different way, more philosophically.

Where do magic truffles come from?

Magic truffles are therefore underground. This is where the psilocybe mushrooms grow. Under the soil is a fungus, mycelium. This is a white, stringy substance. This substance ensures that the mushrooms can grow. You should think of mycelium as the placenta of the magic mushroom. It nourishes the mushroom to grow just as the placenta nourishes a growing baby in its mother's womb. To protect the nutrition for the growth of the mushroom, the mycelium is hard. The sclerotia stores nutrition for times when there is insufficient nutrition available due to heat, drought or cold.

What is the active ingredient in the magic truffle?

Because the magic truffle grows in the mycelium of the magic mushroom, this contains the same active psychedelic substance psilocybin. Psilocybin is a hallucinogen and belongs to the tryptamine family. Psilocybin is converted to psilocin in the body. The psilocin cell is very similar to that of serotonin. As a result, it will not be recognized as psilocin, allowing these cells to attach to the serotonin receptors in the brain. Once attached these cells will show the magical effects. Microdosing psilocybin truffles are also used against depression and stress.

What is microdosing psilocybin truffles?

Micro-dosing truffles can bring about subtle changes in the mind that make feelings of depression or stress fade into the background. Microdosing is taking super small doses of truffles or magic mushrooms. Because the doses are very small, you will experience absolutely no hallucinations or other extreme trip effects. Many clinics and hospitals are experimenting with psilocybin. Psilocin brings a lot of connections and new branches between the brain cells. This means that much more activity takes place in the brain. This increase in activity can ease the mind and deal with depression. Psilocybin also has the power to break through new insights into stuck thinking patterns. The combination of these two makes psilocybin a very interesting substance to use microdosing. 

Not every mushroom mycelium is suitable for developing the magic truffle

Unfortunately, not every mushroom mycelium can provide you with magic truffles. There are only a few magic mushrooms in the world that are suitable as a supplier of magic truffles. The reason for this is that they must contain the right substances to trigger a trip. At least the magic mushroom should be psilocybin and psilocin. Of these, there are about 200 magic mushrooms in the world. Still, only a handful can provide magic truffles. And that, of course, makes them magical. What makes the magic truffle so magical is psilocybin, psilocibe and baeocystin/norbaeocystin. These psychoactive substances provide an expanded state of consciousness that intensifies, among other things, music and colors. This ensures the great trip you are looking for.
