Atlantis Magic Truffles, 15 g Pouch

Delivery: this product ships to the Netherlands only.

Atlantis magic truffles are the fresh sclerotia of a Psilocybe fungus. This pouch holds 15 g net, and the producer lists the species as Psilocybe atlantis.

What Atlantis magic truffles are

A magic truffle is not a true truffle. It is a sclerotium: a dense lump of mycelium threads that the fungus forms underground. The producer explains that the fungus builds it while temperature and moisture are not yet right for mushrooms, and stores nutrients in it until they are. These truffles naturally contain psilocybin and psilocin.

The species and its origin

Mycologists Gastón Guzmán, Richard Hanlin and C. White named Psilocybe atlantis in 2003 in the journal Mycotaxon. Their material grew in lawns in Fulton County, in the US state of Georgia, and reference databases still list no wild finds outside that state. Taxonomists file it in section Mexicana of the genus, beside Psilocybe mexicana. That first description says nothing about sclerotia, although the species is now known for producing them readily.
