Magic Truffles Dosage Guide — How Much Should You Take? (2026 Update)

How much magic truffles do you need for a light, social buzz? And how much for a full psychedelic experience where the walls breathe and time stops making sense? The right dose makes all the difference between a fun evening and an overwhelming trip. In this updated 2026 guide, we walk you through every trip level, explain how each truffle strain compares in strength, and help you pick the right dose for your experience level.

In this guide: An introduction to magic truffles, four trip levels with dosage ranges, a strain-by-strain comparison table with dosing per strain, and practical tips for the best experience.

Looking for magic mushroom dosing? Truffles and mushrooms use different dosage scales. Check our magic mushroom dosage guide for dried mushroom doses and the 5 magic mushroom trip levels.

Prefer tea? Many people brew their truffles into a tea for faster onset and less nausea. Read our step-by-step magic mushroom and truffle tea recipe.


What Are Magic Truffles?

Magic truffles contain the same active compounds as magic mushrooms: psilocybin and psilocin. These two substances create the psychedelic experience. The main difference is how they grow. Mushrooms grow above the ground. Truffles (technically called sclerotia) grow underground as compact nodules of mycelium that store nutrients and water.

Difference between magic mushrooms and magic truffles growth

In terms of effects, there is not much difference between a mushroom trip and a truffle trip. Both produce visual changes, body highs, altered thinking, and a mystical state of mind. However, some truffle strains — like Utopia, Hollandia, and Stargazer — can be more potent than common Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. A useful conversion rule is 1 gram dried cubensis = roughly 5 grams fresh truffles.

Most of our packages contain 15 grams of fresh, vacuum-packed magic truffles (Stargazer comes in a 25 gram pack). For most people, 15 grams of a medium-strength strain produces a good, pleasant trip. If you are new to truffles, we recommend starting with two-thirds of the package (about 10 grams).


Our Magic Truffle Strains: Strength Comparison

Not all truffles are equally strong. The table below compares every strain we currently sell, ranked from mildest to strongest. Use this to match the right strain to your experience level.

Strain Strength Best For Character
Philosopher Stones Mild Beginners Calm, introspective, mostly mental effects. Encourages deep thought and philosophical clarity. Gentle on the body.
Mexicana A Mild Beginners Happy, giggly, and social. Light visuals and a joyful mood. The classic starter truffle — ideal for first-timers.
Atlantis Medium Beginners / Intermediate Stronger than Mexicana. Vivid colours, enhanced senses, and a long-lasting, stable trip. Great for a relaxed setting with friends.
Indigo Teacher Medium-Strong (3/5) Intermediate A wisdom-focused strain perfect for introspection. Gentle yet vivid visuals in deep indigo and purple tones. Best experienced during sunrise or sunset. Ideal for life guidance and self-discovery.
Galindoi Mushrocks Medium-Strong Intermediate Balanced and harmonious. Euphoria, laughter, moderate visuals, and a feeling of connectedness with nature. A well-rounded trip.
Utopia Very Strong Experienced One of the most powerful strains available. Intense visuals, deep introspection, and possible ego dissolution. Not for beginners.
Hollandia Very Strong Experienced Classic Dutch powerhouse. Vibrant colours, explosive creativity, waves of euphoria. Comparable in strength to Utopia.
Stargazer Extreme (5/5) Experienced psychonauts only Our strongest truffle. Cosmic visions of nebulas and star mandalas. Powerful ego dissolution. Only for those with multiple trip experiences. Available in 25 gram packs.

General rule: Philosopher Stones and Mexicana are perfect for beginners. Atlantis, Indigo Teacher, and Galindoi suit intermediate users. Utopia and Hollandia are for experienced users. Stargazer is our most powerful truffle — only for real psychonauts.


Magic Truffles Dosage Guide: The 4 Trip Levels

You have your pack. The mood is right. Now the question is: what kind of experience do you want? Here are four trip levels to help you choose the right dose of fresh magic truffles.

⚠️ Important: These dosages are for fresh magic truffles. Dried mushroom doses are very different. Check our magic mushroom dosage guide for dried mushroom amounts. Also note that strength varies by strain — 10 grams of Stargazer hits much harder than 10 grams of Mexicana.


Trip Level 1: Light High — Social and Creative (5–10 grams)

Trip level 1 — light psychedelic experience

Welcome to a gentle, easy-going high. You can compare this level to a mild cannabis buzz. Colours appear slightly richer. Conversations feel deeper and more meaningful. You may notice a warm, euphoric glow and a spark of creative thinking.

This is the perfect starting dose for beginners. You stay fully in control and grounded. It works well for a social evening, a walk in nature, or a creative session.

Recommended strains Philosopher Stones, Mexicana A, Atlantis
What to expect Mild mood lift, deeper conversations, subtle colour enhancement, gentle euphoria
Duration 3–4 hours


Trip Level 2: Soft Trip — Body High and Mild Visuals (10–15 grams)

Trip level 2 — soft psychedelic trip

At this dose, you enter a proper psychedelic state. Close your eyes and you may see geometric patterns swirling and dancing. Open your eyes and colours look brighter. Music sounds richer and deeper. You also feel a noticeable body high — a pleasant tingling or wave-like sensation.

For experienced users, this dose offers a comfortable, enjoyable trip. For beginners, however, it can already feel quite strong. Do not underestimate 10–15 grams — especially with a potent strain like Galindoi or Indigo Teacher.

This level also works well for introspective use. You stay somewhat grounded while still diving into deeper thoughts and inner dialogue. It is a good balance between psychedelic intensity and mental clarity.

Recommended strains Mexicana A, Atlantis, Indigo Teacher, Galindoi Mushrocks
What to expect Closed-eye visuals, enhanced colours and music, body high, introspective thoughts, giggles
Duration 4–5 hours


Trip Level 3: Classic Psychedelic Experience — Intense Visuals (15–20 grams)

Trip level 3 — intense psychedelic experience

Now you enter a full psychedelic experience. Expect strong open-eye visuals and hallucinations. Surfaces may ripple and breathe. Faces may morph. You may lose track of time completely — five minutes can feel like an hour.

When you are in a good mood and comfortable setting, this level can bring intense laughter, deep emotional connections, and a sense of wonder. In an introspective mood, you may experience powerful emotions and meaningful personal insights. Some people report out-of-body sensations at this level.

We do not recommend 15–20 grams for first-timers. This dose is best for people who already know how psilocybin affects them.

Recommended strains Atlantis, Galindoi Mushrocks (at 15 g); Philosopher Stones or Mexicana (at 20 g if you want a milder strain at higher dose)
What to expect Strong open-eye visuals, time distortion, emotional intensity, possible out-of-body feeling, deep insights
Duration 4–6 hours


Trip Level 4: Full Ego Dissolution — For Real Psychonauts Only (20–40 grams)

Trip level 4 — ego dissolution psychedelic experience

Say goodbye to your ego. At 20–40 grams — especially near 40 grams of a strong strain — you may feel like you have left your body entirely. Reality as you know it dissolves. You become pure awareness floating through abstract landscapes of light, geometry, and emotion.

This level can be profoundly meaningful. Many people describe it as one of the most important experiences of their lives. However, it can also be overwhelming, confusing, and frightening — especially without proper preparation.

This dose is only for experienced psychonauts who have multiple truffle or mushroom trips behind them. A trip sitter is essential at this level.

Recommended strains Utopia, Hollandia (20–25 g may already reach this level); Stargazer (15–20 g is enough); Atlantis or Galindoi at higher doses (30–40 g)
What to expect Complete ego dissolution, loss of sense of self, intense hallucinations, mystical experiences, time has no meaning
Duration 5–7 hours

⚠️ Strong warning: With Utopia, Hollandia, or Stargazer, 15–20 grams can already produce level 4 effects. These are the most potent strains we sell. Stargazer (5/5 intensity) comes in a 25 gram pack — do not eat the full pack unless you are very experienced. If you are trying any of these for the first time, start with half a portion and work your way up in future sessions.


Dosage per Strain: Quick Reference Chart

Since each strain has a different strength, the same number of grams gives a very different experience. Use this chart to find the right dose for your chosen strain and desired trip level.

Strain Level 1 (Light) Level 2 (Soft Trip) Level 3 (Intense) Level 4 (Ego Dissolution)
Philosopher Stones 5–7 g 8–12 g 13–18 g 20–30 g
Mexicana A 5–7 g 8–12 g 13–18 g 20–30 g
Atlantis 5–7 g 8–10 g 11–15 g 18–25 g
Indigo Teacher 5–7.5 g 7.5–10 g 10–15 g 18–25 g
Galindoi Mushrocks 5–7 g 7.5–10 g 11–15 g 18–25 g
Utopia 3–5 g 5–8 g 9–15 g 15–22 g
Hollandia 3–5 g 5–8 g 9–15 g 15–22 g
Stargazer 3–5 g 5–7 g 8–12 g 13–20 g

How to read this chart: If you have Mexicana truffles and want a soft trip (level 2), take 8–12 grams. If you have Stargazer and want the same soft trip, you only need 5–7 grams because Stargazer is our strongest strain. Always start at the lower end of a range and adjust next time.


What About Microdosing?

Microdosing is something completely different from a trip. When you microdose, you take a very small amount of truffles — typically 0.5 to 1 gram — that does not produce any hallucinations, visuals, or altered perception. Instead, people report subtle improvements in mood, focus, creativity, and energy over time.

We sell a dedicated Microdosing Magic Truffles pack (6 x 1 gram) for this purpose. Because microdosing follows its own protocols, schedules, and guidelines, we have written a separate guide for it. If you are interested in microdosing rather than tripping, read our full article: What Is Microdosing?

This dosage guide focuses only on trip-level doses.


Tips for the Best Experience

  • Eat on an empty stomach — This speeds up absorption and reduces nausea. Wait at least 2–3 hours after your last meal.
  • Chew thoroughly — The enzymes in your saliva help extract psilocybin. Chew the truffles as long as possible before swallowing. The taste is sour, so keep water nearby.
  • Or brew a tea — If you dislike the taste, follow our magic mushroom and truffle tea recipe for a smoother experience with faster onset.
  • Set and setting matter — Choose a comfortable, safe environment. Be in a positive mindset. Read our guide on set and setting before your first trip.
  • Have a trip sitter — Especially for level 3 and above, have a sober friend present who can help if needed.
  • Start low, go slow — You can always take more next time. You cannot undo a dose that is too high.
  • Store in the fridge — Keep truffles sealed and refrigerated. Consume them as soon as possible after opening for maximum potency.
  • Prepare for the full trip — Follow our 9 mindful steps to an amazing psychedelic trip to make sure you are ready.

  • ⚠️ Use responsibly: Always read our Responsible Use page before tripping — especially if you are a beginner. If you suffer from a mental health condition, consult a qualified medical professional first. Do not self-prescribe. Keep a Trip Stopper on hand to help manage a difficult experience.
