SugaShrooms Magic Truffles, 15 g

Delivery: this product ships to the Netherlands only.

SugaShrooms magic truffles are fresh sclerotia of a Psilocybe fungus, packed in a tub with a net weight of 15 grams. They naturally contain psilocybin and psilocin.

What SugaShrooms magic truffles are

The word "truffle" is a trade term. In mycology these lumps are called sclerotia: compact masses of mycelium threads that the fungus builds underground. They store nutrients while temperature and moisture are not yet right for mushrooms to grow.

The pack gives the variety as Psilocybe Amanitea. One retailer's guide traces the word to Amanita muscaria, the red and white mushroom that the pack artwork is based on. The contents are Psilocybe sclerotia, not Amanita.

Where truffles come from

Sellers call Psilocybe sclerotia "philosopher's stones", a nickname that started with Psilocybe tampanensis, a species that received its scientific name in 1978. The mushroom ban that took effect in the Netherlands in the late 2000s did not list sclerotia, and truffle sales there grew from that point.
