WHAT IS PSILOCYBE TAMPANENSIS?

The Psilocybe tampanensis is also known as the magic truffle or philosophers stone. It looks and tastes very different from other psychoactive mushrooms, but the range of effects is the same: unusual thoughts, funny ideas, altered perception (with eyes open), inner visions (with eyes closed), deep contemplation of personal issues, emotional breakthroughs, spiritual insights and so on. Whatever experiences regular shrooms give (whether Mexicans, Hawaiians etc.) can also be obtained by using truffles, but the intensity very much depends on the dosage. If you consider the effects too mild, simply increase the dose next time you use them.

HISTORY

Psilocybe tampanensis is a magic mushroom whose only natural specimen was collected in the wild by Stephen Pollock, near Tampa, Florida in 1977. All species nowadays are originated from this one specimen. It has never again been seen in Florida but a second sighting was reported from Mississippi. Unfortunately, no cultivable material was obtained. Many years of successive cloning have degenerated all commercially available strains to a point where most of them fruit very poorly or not at all. Yet they form more sclerotia, or truffles, which carry more psychoactive material.

BOTANICAL

This psilocybin-containing mushroom is very rare, and now it is mainly grown by mycologists and amateurs or psychonauts through spores or grow kits. Mushrooms above the ground could be grown but more important is the underground sclerotia which contains psilocybin and psilocin.

These sclerotia are very dense compared to mushrooms and contain 30% dry matter. There could be some white mould all over the truffles. This is not a contamination, but mycelium still growing.

CHEMISTRY

Psilocin (0.32%) and psilocybin (0.68%) are the active compounds found in Tampanensis.

EFFECTS OF MAGIC TRUFFLES

Truffles will give you a stoned, psychedelic, philosophical, giddy and visual experience. During the first hour of the trip, you might experience some anxiety, but this usually disappears when you have reached the first peak. A trip usually lasts 4 to 6 hours depending on the dosage and your sensitivity.

Effects are actually hard to predict, and very much depend on the dosage, the environment, your personal interests and knowledge, your motivation for taking truffles, the music you’re listening to, the people you’re with, whether you’re outside (in nature) or inside (with the lights turned off) etc.

MEDICAL USE

No medical uses have been reported so far. However, psilocybin and psilocin have been successfully used by patients suffering from certain types of migraine and severe cluster headaches. Those interested can read more about this on www.clusterbusters.com, a website that “is dedicated to researching treatments that show promise for reliable, effective and long-term relief, from cluster and related headaches. There’s also research going on into the psychological effects of psilocybin when it comes to anxiety experienced by cancer patients. To read about this and other research, visit www.maps.org, the website of the Multidisciplinarian Association for Psychedelic Studies.

VARIETIES

Aside from tampanensis, there are a few other hallucinogenic mushrooms that are grown and consumed as sclerotia or truffles. Psilocybe Mexicana A is also quite well known. Its place of origin is Colima, Mexico. This is the sacred Teonanacatl or God’s Flesh in the Aztec language. It was rediscovered by Roger Heim in 1956 and used by Dr Albert Hoffman in the first isolation of psilocybin and psilocin.

Also, Psilocybe atlantis, which originated in Georgia, USA is one of them. According to Guzman, this is may not be Psilocybe atlantis but yet another species which was inadvertently collected along with Psilocybe atlantis samples. Unfortunately, this has caused some confusion and circulating strains of “Psilocybe atlantis” are entirely this possibly new species. A direct comparison of samples with the published description of P. atlantis is underway. Both species share the nickname ‘philosophers stones’.

USAGE / DOSAGE OF TRUFFLES

Dosage: Take 5 to 9 grams for a normal trip and 10 to 15 grams for a strong trip. The truffles can simply be eaten as they taste not as bad as other magic mushrooms. Best is not to eat about six hours before ingesting.

WARNINGS

Do not use when pregnant, nursing, depressed, schizophrenic, on medication or under stress, driving motorized vehicles, under 18 years old, in combination with stimulants or alcohol. The first time you use mushrooms make sure someone with more experience is around in case you need help, for example when you feel sick or scared.

GROWING

P. tampanensis are quite easily grown in grow kits, available in our online smartshop. The grow kits do not require much attention, the only important note is that the place where you put it is dark and has a temperature of 22-24 degrees Celsius. Try to wait a little bit, the harvest will be larger!

STORAGE

Fresh truffles like Psilocybe tampanensis and Psilocybe Mexicana contain about 70% of water and can be stored fresh in the fridge up to 3 weeks. Drying is easy. You simply spread out the truffles on a few pieces of paper in a warm room. Speed the process up with a fan. Store the dried ones in a zip lock bag or any other airtight container, in a cool, dark and dry place. After 6 months the strength will decrease.

Psilocybe mexicana A is the mushroom species that Dr. Albert Hofmann made world famous in 1958 when he was the first to isolate two chemicals from this fungus. These chemicals are now known as psilocin and psilocybin. P. mexicana A is known to produce sclerotia in a high quantity in the optimal circumstances.

The mushrooms of the Psilocybe mexicanae have been used for thousands of years by the natives of central America and there is some evidence the these are the “Teonanácatl” that they have discribed in their traditions. Teonanácatl has been translated to “Flesh of the Gods”, a name familiar to most psychonauts.

15 grams of Magic Truffles. In vacuum sealed packaging.

Storing and preserving Magic Truffles

Always store Magic Truffles in the fridge (2-4 °C) in closed (vacuum sealed) packaging. If stored in this way, you can keep the Truffles until the best before date. After breaking the vacuum seal, the Truffles can be preserved for up to 2 days without losing their potency.

Effects of Magic Truffles

The active compounds in Magic Truffles are psilocin and psilocybin. Both compounds are easily absorbed in the human body and are responsible for the psychoactive effects of Magic Truffles. Read more about psilocin and psilocybin.

In low doses, eating Magic Truffles can induce giggly and stoned feelings. In this state, it is still easy to communicate and you are still aware of your environment. In higher doses, Magic Truffles transform reality and can cause hallucinations.

The first effects of Magic Truffles can be felt after 30 minutes (or sometimes even after 10 minutes) after consumption. These effects can include (but are not limited to) sweaty palms, sighing, cold shivers, a feeling of unrest and nausea. As the effects intensify, the trip moves towards euphoria and happiness, but feelings of anxiety can occur as well. Visions, hallucinations and deep connections to fellow psychonauts are possible effects.

After an hour, the effects of Magic Truffles usually stop intensifying and become more stable. They generally last for about 3 to 5 hours, depending on the consumed amount. After this time, it takes about 1 to 2 hours for the effects to fade. This fading often occurs in waves, which may suggest the trip is ending, before the effects surge back again. For this reason, plan your trip well and make sure you have no other business to attend to on the day you will trip on Truffles.

The first hour of your trip, you may experience feelings of nausea or sickness. This feeling usually passes as the effects of Magic Truffles intensify.

What you will see and feel during a Magic Truffle trip greatly depends on your mindset and the setting of your trip. Your mental state in the days before your trip and the surroundings of the place where you trip directly influence your experiences. A busy and demanding week can result in a slightly anxious, stressful trip, but can also close the week with new insights and energy.

In sum, only use Magic Truffles if you feel mentally balanced and relaxed. Only take Magic Truffles in a familiar or quiet place, preferably with people you know and trust. There is nothing more frustrating than annoyance between people while you are tripping.

Dose of Magic Truffles

Mexicana A Truffles are known as mild to strong Truffles. They are suitable for beginners.

  • For a microdose, take 0.2 – 0.5 grams of Magic Truffles per person.
  • For a mild trip, take 5-7 grams of Magic Truffles per person.
  • For a strong trip, take 10 grams of Magic Truffles per person.
  • For an overwhelming trip, take 15 grams of Magic Truffles per person.

Use of Magic Truffles

Eat Magic Truffles raw. For the best effects, take on an empty stomach. Make sure you eat your last meal a minimum of 2-4 hours before your trip. We recommend to abstain from caffeinated drinks.

Chew the Truffles well; it helps the body to absorb the psychoactive compounds and it helps against nausea.

Don’t fancy the taste of Magic Truffles? Eat the Truffles with a handful of nuts, some tea or in a soup to mask the flavour. Never boil the truffles, this affects their potency!

Warning!

Don’t combine with other drugs and/or alcohol.

Don’t use in combination with medication and MAO inhibitors.

Don’t use in cases of depression or sensitivity to psychosis.

Don’t use when pregnant or breastfeeding.

Don’t use if younger than 18 years of age.

Trivia

A truffle or sclerotium is a living product. It might be possible that air (especially CO²) is trapped inside the package. This will make the sclerotia continue to grow and white “hairs” will appear on the outside of the truffles. This is the mycelium and shows the truffles are healthy. This is edible and doesn’t affect the trip
