Anyone exploring magic truffles will quickly notice that differences can exist in composition, intensity and subjective experience. Psilocybin-containing mushrooms and truffles contain psychoactive compounds such as psilocybin, which is converted into psilocin in the body and may influence perception, thoughts and mood1,2.

What is behind the different Magic Mushroom varieties?

Magic Mushrooms and magic truffles originate from different species of psychoactive fungi or their underground sclerotia. Differences between varieties can arise from genetic characteristics, cultivation conditions and the concentration of psychoactive compounds1. As a result, the subjective experience may vary between products.

How do the different varieties differ?

The main differences are found in perceived intensity and the individual experience. Factors such as dosage, environment, personal sensitivity and previous experience all play an important role1,2. This means experiences can vary even when using similar products.

Which Magic Mushroom variety is right for you?

The right choice depends on your level of experience and personal expectations. Many users base their decision on the intensity rating provided by the supplier.

For beginners

Beginners often choose varieties that are described as milder, allowing them to gradually become familiar with the experience.
