Magic Truffles
Let your heart glow and your energy flow
A plant medicine that opens a gateway to growth, transformation and new perspectives
MindTravellers also offers magic truffle journeys. These are the same as psilocybin journeys. Psilocybin is the active ingredient in magic truffles. A truffle experience—or psilocybin journey—is very special. You'll hear, see, smell, and feel things differently. You'll also often experience a strong connection with others, your surroundings, and nature.
Psilocybin is an effective plant medicine. Using psilocybin alone can induce a very high state of consciousness. In principle, you don't need Psilohuasca for this.
A Magic Truffles trip is suitable for those who want to delve into their own mind for the first time and are a little wary of the intense and long-lasting experience that Psilohuasca offers. The Magic Truffles experience is somewhat shorter and there is less chance of side effects such as nausea or vomiting.
The psychedelic substances cause you to hear, see, smell, and feel things differently. Your brain regions can communicate more freely with each other. This can have a healing effect on conditions like depression, trauma, and addiction.
We can describe a psilocybin journey with a common metaphor: applying a fresh layer of snow to a mountain. With fresh powder, you have much more freedom to ski anywhere (meaning a greater ability to think freely and tolerate a wider range of emotions). The psilocybin experience can help you find new, different paths on the mountain, new terrain, and new sights (and a sense of yourself as freer and less constrained by previous thought patterns and behaviors).

Background Magic Truffles
There are an incredible number of different types of mushrooms in the world. Some mushrooms can be used by humans for a psychedelic experience. The mushrooms suitable for this are called psilocybin and psilocin. Native Americans have known about these for a long time, but they were only introduced to the Western world in the last century.
Since 2008, magic mushrooms have been banned in the Netherlands. What is permitted are magic truffles – called sclerotium or philosopher's stones. A large network of fungi exists in the soil where the mushrooms grow. This fungus has a white, fibrous structure called mycelium. Certain magic mushrooms produce magic truffles there: a compact, hard mass of hardened mycelium. Magic truffles consist of fifty percent water. The final product resembles "regular" truffles from the culinary world. It tastes somewhat like an unripe walnut. Magic truffles are legal. You can easily buy them in smart shops.
The magic truffles we use at Mindtravellers are specially cultivated for emotional stimulation; the visual effects are less intense. This is different from the magic truffles you can buy in the smartshop, where the visual effects are very pronounced.
Why Magic Truffles
Scientific studies, including a large study from the John Hopkins Medical Center in America, show that psilocybin also produces very strong visual mystical experiences.
While we can't make any health claims here, many studies promise very good results for depression, for example. A study is currently underway at three Dutch university medical centers investigating the effectiveness of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression. The results are promising. Magic Truffle journeys are offered in combination with Psilohuasca Ceremonies, which combine well.
These can be booked every weekend.
How are you feeling?
The advantage of psilocybin is that you experience less physical discomfort. So you're much less likely to get nauseous. We find that this allows you to experience a more peaceful and profound journey.
Magic truffles begin to take effect half an hour to an hour after ingestion. The effect is strongest after an hour or two. The entire experience lasts three to six hours. Psilocybin is a very powerful and effective substance. It can cause changes in sensations, thought processes, and emotions. It can lead to changes in your sense of self, your perception of time, and even the nature of reality. This is temporary; by the time your inner journey ends, you will feel normal again. It can also provide psychological insights that feel new and different from your current ideas about who you are or how the world works. Simply put, it expands your sense of what life and your psyche can hold. This leads to greater flexibility in your thought patterns. That can feel like a breath of fresh air.
