Yes. Magic mushroom grow kits are legal to buy and own in the Netherlands. While fresh and dried psilocybin mushrooms were banned in December 2008, grow kits containing mycelium are not classified as a banned substance under the Dutch Opium Act. This means you can legally purchase, possess, and use a grow kit to cultivate magic mushrooms for personal use.

Yes. Magic truffles (sclerotia) are fully legal in the Netherlands. They were excluded from the 2008 ban on magic mushrooms. You can buy them in smart shops and online. Our magic truffles are fresh, vacuum-packed, and shipped legally within the Netherlands and to other countries where they are permitted.

Laws regarding magic mushroom grow kits, spores, and truffles vary greatly between countries. It is your responsibility to check the laws in your country before placing an order. We ship discreetly, but cannot guarantee that your order will pass customs. For more details, see our shipping information page.

No. We do not sell fresh or dried magic mushrooms. We sell magic mushroom grow kits that allow you to cultivate your own mushrooms at home, as well as magic truffles, spores for microscopy and research, and related accessories.

You must be at least 18 years old to place an order. We strongly recommend that only people aged 21 and over use psilocybin products, as the brain is still developing until roughly that age. For more information, read our responsible use guide.

Start the growing process as soon as possible. Each brand has specific instructions. Visit our growing instructions page for step-by-step guides for your specific brand (Mondo, FreshMushrooms, or GetMagic). You can also watch our video instructions or check the quickstart guide.

The ideal temperature is between 23-25 degrees Celsius (73-77 degrees Fahrenheit). Temperatures below 18 degrees Celsius will slow or stop growth. Temperatures above 29 degrees Celsius can damage the mycelium. Keep the kit away from direct sunlight and heat sources. A heating mat can help in cooler environments.

You should see the first small mushrooms (pins) appear within 1 to 3 weeks after setup, depending on the strain and conditions. If nothing has happened after 3 weeks, check the troubleshooting question below or contact our helpdesk.

Don't panic yet. Check the following:

• Temperature: Is it consistently between 23-25 degrees Celsius? Too cold is the number one reason for slow growth.
• Humidity: Is the bag misted and kept closed with some air exchange?
• Light: The kit needs some indirect daylight (not direct sunlight).
• Contamination: Do you see green, black, or grey spots? If so, the kit may be contaminated.

If everything looks fine, give it a few more days. Contact our customer service with a photo if you suspect a problem.

Green, grey, or black patches are a strong indication of contamination (mold). This can happen if the kit was exposed to unclean conditions, high temperature, or excessive moisture. Once contamination has set in, it is usually not possible to save the kit. Do not open it indoors. Contact our customer service with a photo for assistance.

No, blue bruising is completely normal and harmless. It happens when psilocybin is exposed to oxygen (oxidation), often caused by handling or humidity changes. Blue bruising is actually an indicator that your mushrooms contain psilocybin. It is not mold.

Yes, this is called "fuzzy feet" (aerial mycelium) and it is completely harmless. It appears when the mushrooms need more fresh air exchange. Open the grow bag slightly more or fan the kit gently once or twice a day. The mushrooms are perfectly fine to use.

The black powder is mushroom spores. This happens when you wait too long to harvest. While the mushrooms are still safe to consume, spore release can reduce future flush yields. Next time, harvest just before the veil beneath the cap starts to tear. See our growing instructions for the ideal harvest moment.

Harvest just before or right as the thin membrane (veil) under the cap begins to tear. At this stage, the caps are still slightly bell-shaped. Don't wait until the caps are fully flat and open. For a visual guide, see our growing instructions.

Wash your hands thoroughly or wear clean gloves. Gently grab the mushroom at the base and twist it carefully until it detaches. Avoid pulling straight up as this can damage the mycelium. Remove all mushrooms including small ones (aborts) before starting the next flush.

Most grow kits produce 2 to 4 flushes (harvests). The first flush is usually the largest. After each harvest, soak the cake in clean water for 12 hours to rehydrate, then restart the process. Follow the specific instructions for your brand on our instructions page.

Yes, remove them. Mushrooms growing underneath are perfectly normal and potent, but they can lift the cake and disrupt growth on top. Carefully tilt or lift the cake to remove them.

A heating mat is not required if your room is consistently 23-25 degrees Celsius. However, in cooler environments it can dramatically improve results. Place the mat under the grow kit with a towel in between to avoid direct heat. Never place the kit directly on the mat without a buffer.

Store the unopened grow kit in the refrigerator (2-8 degrees Celsius). Do not freeze it. Most kits remain viable for a few weeks when stored properly, but we strongly recommend starting as soon as possible for the best results.

An unopened grow kit stored in the refrigerator has a shelf life of approximately 3 to 4 weeks. After this period, mycelium may weaken and yield will decrease. Start the growing process within a few days of receiving your kit for the best results.

We carry several brands, each with their own approach:

• FreshMushrooms: 100% mycelium kits. No soaking needed. Very easy, great for beginners.
• Mondo: Classic kits requiring an initial soaking step. Reliable and well-known.
• GetMagic: Affordable kits using a similar method to Mondo. Good value.
• Cloud920: Premium kits with unique substrate for higher yields.

Magic truffles (sclerotia) and magic mushrooms both contain psilocybin, but they are different parts of the same organism. Mushrooms are the above-ground fruiting bodies, while truffles are compact masses of mycelium that grow underground. The effects are very similar. Truffles tend to be slightly milder gram-for-gram because of their higher water content. Truffles are legal in the Netherlands; mushrooms (fresh/dried) are not. Explore our magic truffle collection.

Dosing depends on experience and strain strength:

• Microdose: 0.5-1.5 grams fresh (sub-perceptual, no trip effects)
• Mild trip: 5-7 grams fresh (visual enhancement, giggly, light effects)
• Medium trip: 7-10 grams fresh (clear visuals, introspective)
• Strong trip: 10-15 grams fresh (intense visuals, deep introspection)

Always start low if it is your first time. Read our responsible use guide for full advice.

There are several ways to consume magic truffles:

• Eat them directly: Chew thoroughly on an empty stomach. The taste is sour and nutty.
• Truffle tea: Chop finely, steep in hot (not boiling) water for 15 minutes. Add honey or ginger.
• Lemon tek: Soak chopped truffles in fresh lemon juice for 20 minutes, then drink. May intensify and shorten the experience.
• Mix with food: Blend into a smoothie or mix with chocolate to mask the taste.

Avoid eating a heavy meal for 2-3 hours before taking truffles.

Unopened, vacuum-sealed truffles can be stored in the refrigerator (2-4 degrees Celsius) for up to 2 months. Once opened, consume within 2-3 days and keep refrigerated. Do not freeze fresh truffles as this damages cell structure and can reduce potency.

Always store magic truffles in the refrigerator at 2-4 degrees Celsius. Keep them in their vacuum-sealed packaging until ready to use. If opened, place in a paper bag or wrap in paper towel inside a breathable container. Never freeze fresh truffles.

We offer several truffle strains ranging from mild to very strong:

• Mexicana: Mild. Great for beginners. Happy, euphoric, light visuals.
• Tampanensis (Philosopher's Stone): Medium. Introspective, creative, philosophical.
• Pajaritos: Medium. Social, playful, moderate visuals.
• Atlantis: Strong. Vivid visuals, deep emotional experiences.
• Hollandia: Very strong. Intense trip, for experienced users.
• Utopia: Very strong. One of the most powerful strains available.

Microdosing is the practice of taking a very small, sub-perceptual dose of a psychedelic substance, typically psilocybin from magic truffles. The dose is too low to cause any trip or hallucinations. Instead, users report subtle improvements in focus, creativity, mood, and overall well-being. It has become popular among professionals, students, and creatives. Explore our microdosing truffles.

Take a small portion of fresh magic truffles (typically 0.5-1.5 grams) in the morning on an empty or light stomach. You can eat it directly, brew it as tea, or blend it into a smoothie. Follow a structured protocol and keep a journal to track your experiences. Our microdosing packs come pre-portioned in 1-gram doses for convenience.

A typical microdose of fresh magic truffles is between 0.5 and 1.5 grams. The goal is sub-perceptual: you should not feel high or experience visual effects. Start at 0.5g and gradually increase until you find your personal sweet spot. Body weight, sensitivity, and strain all influence the ideal dose.

The two most popular schedules are:

• Fadiman Protocol: 1 day on, 2 days off. Take a microdose on Day 1, rest on Day 2 and 3. Repeat. Ideal for beginners.
• Stamets Protocol (Stacking): 4 days on, 3 days off. Paul Stamets recommends combining psilocybin with Lion's Mane mushroom and niacin (vitamin B3).

Both protocols recommend cycling: microdose for 4-8 weeks, then take a 2-4 week break to prevent tolerance.

Most protocols recommend 4 to 8 weeks of microdosing, followed by a 2 to 4 week rest period. This cycling approach prevents tolerance and allows you to assess effects. Many people microdose in cycles throughout the year rather than continuously.

Important: If you are taking any medication, especially SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, lithium, or other psychiatric medication, consult your doctor before microdosing. Psilocybin can interact with serotonergic medications. Combining them may reduce effects or, in rare cases, cause adverse reactions. Never stop prescribed medication to start microdosing without medical supervision.

No, not if the dose is correct. A proper microdose is sub-perceptual. You should be able to go about your normal activities without feeling intoxicated. If you feel noticeably high or see visual changes, your dose is too high. Reduce it next time. The effects should be subtle: slightly improved mood, focus, or creativity.

Effects vary depending on dose, strain, set, and setting. Common effects include:

• Enhanced colours, patterns, and visual distortions
• Euphoria, laughter, and feelings of connectedness
• Introspection and deep emotional experiences
• Altered perception of time
• Creative and philosophical thinking
• At higher doses: ego dissolution, mystical experiences

Effects usually begin 20-60 minutes after ingestion. Read our responsible use guide for full preparation advice.

A typical psilocybin trip lasts 4 to 6 hours, with after-effects (a gentle afterglow) lasting several hours longer. The peak is reached 1.5 to 2.5 hours after ingestion. Lemon tek or tea may shorten the duration to 3-4 hours with faster onset. Microdoses do not produce a trip.

For a first experience, start low:

• Fresh magic truffles: 5-7 grams for a mild, manageable trip
• Dried magic mushrooms: 1-1.5 grams for a gentle introduction

Choose a mild strain (Mexicana truffles or B+/Golden Teacher grow kit) and make sure you are in a comfortable, safe environment with someone you trust. See our responsible use page.

Set refers to your mindset: mood, expectations, and mental state. Setting refers to your environment: where you are, who you are with, and how comfortable you feel. Together, they are the most important factors in determining your experience. Always trip in a familiar, comfortable place with trusted people. Avoid tripping when anxious or stressed. More tips on our responsible use page.

No. Psilocybin is not considered physically addictive and does not cause physical dependence or withdrawal symptoms. In fact, tolerance builds very quickly (within days), making frequent use impractical. Most users space their experiences weeks or months apart. Research suggests psilocybin may actually help treat certain addictions.

After harvesting, you can consume mushrooms fresh or dry them for long-term storage. To dry: place them on a wire rack or paper towel in front of a fan in a well-ventilated area until they are cracker-dry (they should snap, not bend). For faster results, use a food dehydrator at low temperature. Store dried mushrooms in an airtight container with a silica gel packet in a cool, dark place. Properly dried mushrooms can last months.

Psilocybin mushrooms are considered one of the least toxic recreational substances. There are no known cases of fatal overdose from psilocybin alone. However, they are powerful psychoactive substances that should be treated with respect. Risks include psychological distress (bad trips), especially in people with a personal or family history of psychosis or schizophrenia. Always follow our responsible use guidelines and have a Trip Stopper on hand.

A bad trip is a negative psychedelic experience characterized by anxiety, paranoia, confusion, or fear. To minimize the risk:

• Start with a low dose, especially if you are a beginner
• Choose a comfortable, safe environment (setting)
• Only trip when you are in a positive, calm mindset (set)
• Have a sober, trusted person (trip sitter) present
• Avoid mixing with alcohol or other substances
• Keep a Trip Stopper nearby for peace of mind

If you or someone you are with is having a difficult experience:

• Stay calm. Remember that the effects are temporary and will pass within a few hours.
• Move to a quiet, comfortable space with dim lighting.
• Put on calm, familiar music.
• Practice slow, deep breathing.
• Have your trip sitter offer gentle reassurance.
• Take a Trip Stopper: the valerian helps you relax and the dextrose helps reduce the effects.

Do not fight the experience. Let it flow and remind yourself that it will end.

A Trip Stopper is a handy kit designed to help you calm down during a difficult psychedelic experience. It typically contains valerian (a natural sedative that promotes relaxation) and dextrose (sugar that helps your body metabolize psilocybin faster). It won't instantly end a trip, but it can significantly reduce anxiety and shorten the intensity of the experience. We recommend always having one on hand when using magic mushrooms or truffles.

We strongly advise against combining magic mushrooms or truffles with alcohol, cannabis, or any other substances, especially for beginners. Combining substances can lead to unpredictable and intensified effects, increase the risk of a bad trip, and make it harder to assess your reaction to psilocybin alone. If you take any medication, consult your doctor first.

Do not use psilocybin products if you:

• Are under 18 years old (we recommend 21+)
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have a personal or family history of psychosis, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder
• Are taking psychiatric medication (SSRIs, MAOIs, lithium) without consulting your doctor
• Are in a negative or unstable emotional state
• Have serious heart conditions

For more safety information, read our responsible use guide.

Emerging scientific research from institutions like Johns Hopkins University and Imperial College London suggests that psilocybin may have significant therapeutic potential for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. However, this research is still ongoing, and clinical settings involve professional supervision. We do not make medical claims about our products. If you are struggling with mental health issues, please consult a healthcare professional. Psilocybin is not a substitute for professional medical treatment.
