Delivery: this product ships to the Netherlands only.

Atlantis magic truffles are the fresh sclerotia of the fungus Psilocybe atlantis. This pack holds 10 grams net. Like all magic truffles, they naturally contain psilocybin and psilocin.

What Atlantis magic truffles are

What shops call a magic truffle is not a culinary truffle but a sclerotium. Fungi build one by packing their mycelium, the thread network, into a hard underground lump that holds stored nutrients. The producer explains that this happens while conditions are not yet right for a mushroom, and that a mushroom can grow from the reserves later.

The species and where it was found

Mycologists Gastón Guzmán, Richard Hanlin and Craig White gave Psilocybe atlantis its scientific name in 2003. Every wild record so far comes from the US state of Georgia, where it turned up on lawns and empty plots in Fulton County, close to Atlanta. Reference works place it next to Psilocybe mexicana as a near relative. Few people have found it in the wild; growers cultivate it.
