Mexicana Magic Truffles
Natural Product
Contains Psilocybin
Locally Grown
Shipped from The Netherlands
Mexicana is a less potent magic truffle and therefore are very suitable for beginners! With Mexicana truffles you can expect less visuals, however they do provide a warm, giggly feeling with users reporting a huge increase in creativity- sometimes you just want a nice time without being launched into outer space!
The Mexicana species has been known by the indigenous people of South America as ‘Flesh of the Gods’ for thousands of years, and was only introduced to the Western population when Albert Hofman identified the active compound, Psilocybin, in 1957. The cultivation of magic mushrooms and truffles as we know it today all started with Psilocybe Mexicana!
Each pack contains 15g of Magic Truffles.
What Are Mexicana Magic Truffles
Mexicana Magic Truffles are naturally occurring psychedelic fungi, derived from the same organism as, you guessed it, magic mushrooms. Magic Truffles are essentially dense mycelial masses, known as sclerotia. These sclerotia grow underground beneath the mushroom, acting as a food reserve. Like magic mushrooms, magic truffles contain the active chemical Psilocybin, which is what gives it its psychedelic properties.
The Importance Of Set & Setting
Set and setting is a commonly understood term among psychonauts, but it’s hard to understate the importance of this when embarking on a psychedelic journey.
Set refers to the state of mind you’re in prior to the experience; we recommend making sure you’re well slept, generally in a good mood and to consider doing things like meditation or journaling beforehand to clear your mind, ready for whatever might come up.
Setting is your physical surroundings; make sure you’re in a cozy, familiar space with people that you trust. This will make all the difference in how you perceive the space around you. We recommend having a cultivated tripping playlist, either made by you or you can choose from our recommended psilocybin mixes– this will help set the tone for the perfect mushy experience.
What dosage should I take?
Finding the perfect dosage will depend on your metabolism, body mass and various other factors. Here’s our rough guideline, we recommend starting at a lower dosage if it’s your first time!
How long will it last?
The duration of your trip will depend on your metabolism and how much you take. You can expect some sub-perceptual residual effects, otherwise known as the ‘afterglow’, for up to around 24 hours afterwards.
- Onset: 15-30 minutes
- Come up: 30 minutes-1 hour
- Peak: 1- 2 hours
- Duration of trip: 3- 8 hours (up to 12 hours for heroic doses)
- ‘Afterglow’: Roughly 24 hours
What are the effects?
When it comes to tripping, words fall extremely short and there’s no real way to capture the essence of a trip with language. That being said, we can outline what some of the effects might look like so you have some idea of what you’re in for. Bear in mind that psychedelics affect everyone differently and no two trips are the same!
Some positive effects and side effects may include:
- Euphoria
- Connectedness to nature
- Feeling at one with the universe (yes, really)
- Music appreciation
- Boosted creativity and open-mindedness
- Increased feelings of empathy towards others and oneself
- Ego dissolution (mainly occurring at higher doses)
- Heightened emotional sensitivity
- Memory lapses
- Pain relief
- Time distortion
- Visual effects (brighter colors, intricate patterns, distortions, etc.)
- Difficulty sleeping
- Increased heart rate
- Nausea or vomiting
- Getting stuck in thought loops
- Difficulty focusing
- Trouble regulating body
temperature - Confusion or headaches
- Difficulty peeing
- Anxiety or paranoia
The higher the dose, the more intense these effects can be.
How can I make the most of my trip?
People take magic truffles for many reasons; deep introspection, creative enhancement, spiritual growth, emotional release or, sometimes just for a bit of a giggle with some close pals.
Whatever reason it is that you’re interested in taking magic truffles, we recommend being clear on that intention before going in to get the most out of your trip.
Set & setting are of the utmost importance, getting these two pillars of a psychedelic trip in order beforehand will help you to minimize the negative effects and get the most out of your trip.
Set refers to the state of mind you’re in prior to the experience; we recommend making sure you’re well slept, generally in a good mood and to consider doing things like meditation or journaling beforehand to clear your mind, ready for whatever might come up.

How should I store my magic truffles?
Magic truffles should only ever be kept in the fridge, vacuum sealed. They will last no more than a few days out of their original packaging, so keep ‘em sealed until you’re ready to chow down! (Unless you have a vacuum sealer at home, in which case, bravo, you are a professional and probably don’t need this FAQ). We do not recommend freezing magic truffles!
Can I microdose with these truffles?
Yes, technically you could use these truffles to microdose, but they will only last a few days outside of their vacuum sealed packaging so it’s not the most convenient.
Luckily we have an assortment of truffle microdoses available that have the measurements already done for you and individually vacuum sealed, check them out here.
When should I avoid taking magic truffles?
If you’ve experienced psychosis, have a family history of schizophrenia, have HPPD or are in the middle of a manic phase of bipolar disorder, absolutely steer clear of psychedelics.
A lot of people might try magic truffles as a means to improve their mental health, but we always recommend that you are in the best mental state possible before taking a voyage to trip-town- so look after yourself as best as you can beforehand. And if life is throwing you some serious curveballs at the moment, just be aware that while you can take psychedelics, the trip might be a bit rougher than expected.
Are magic truffles legal?
In the Netherlands, magic truffles are legal to sell, buy and consume. The law varies in different Countries so we always recommend checking the law in your country before ordering. We ship everywhere in the EU.

Bonjour Quentin, je suis désolé d’apprendre que vous ayez eu une expérience négative avec ceux-ci. Il convient de garder à l’esprit qu’il existe de nombreuses interactions potentielles avec la psilocybine qui peuvent annuler ses effets – les SSRI et d’autres médicaments, par exemple. Il existe également une tolérance très rapide et forte à la psilocybine, au LSD et autres, vous devez donc attendre au moins quelques semaines à un mois entre les deux pour revenir au niveau de base. Tous mes vœux.
