Atlantis magic truffles are the fresh sclerotia of the fungus Psilocybe atlantis. This is one pack of 20 g net.

What Atlantis magic truffles are

The word truffle is a trade name: the product is a sclerotium, not a culinary truffle. A fungus builds a sclerotium by packing its mycelium threads into a dense, hardened lump that holds stored nutrients. It can rest underground in that form until temperature and moisture suit growing a mushroom. Truffles of this kind naturally contain psilocybin and psilocin.

Where the species comes from

The name Psilocybe atlantis dates from 2003, when Guzmán, Hanlin and White published it in the journal Mycotaxon. Fulton County in the US state of Georgia supplied the wild specimens, from lawns, empty plots and a patch of moss, and that state remains the only place with a wild record. Taxonomists place the species close to Psilocybe mexicana.

A Spanish review from 2011 traces the truffle trade to Dutch growers, who turned to sclerotia once fresh Psilocybe mushrooms could no longer be sold in the Netherlands.
