Description
Growing underground beneath the fruiting mushroom, these psychedelic nodules are technically called sclerotia. They have a pleasant nutty flavour with a tingling βsourβ aftertaste.
This variety is very rare in the wild β all cultivated Psilocybe tampanensis can be traced back to a single specimen found in Florida (would you believe near Tampa?) in 1977. A year later, the worldβs leading fungal expert Paul Stamets discovered how to grow the sclerotia and the Philosopherβs Stone joined the pantheon of natural psychedelics.
TRUFFLE EFFECTS
All truffles have a hefty dose of psilocybin in them, so the effects of all of them are broadly similar. Some sources may suggest that one variety offers more βvisualsβ than others, or another is a more βchattyβ experience. But such variations may also be down to user expectations.
Effects will be felt within 15-45 minutes of consumption, depending on dose and fullness of stomach beforehand, and last 4-6 hours. A typical trip consists of a βcoming upβ period, an experience plateau, followed by a gradual descent back to sobriety.
Effects include: bouts of hilarity, changed colour and sound perception, introspective thoughts, feelings of universal connectedness, waves of energy coursing through the body, vivid visions with eyes closed.
TRUFFLE ACTIVE COMPOUNDS
The active substance in truffles is psilocybin, a triptamine similar in structure to DMT, a neurotransmitter produced naturally in our bodies. One pack contains 15 grams of truffles, though this may be reduced as water is lost during shipping & storage. The end effects will be the same.
There are no poisonous byproducts or metabolites created β psilocybin is ridiculously non-toxic – so no hangover. But you may look at life a little differently the next day!
