Magic Truffles Dosage Guide
Dosage is the most important decision you'll make with magic truffles. Too little and the experience is barely noticeable. Too much and it can be overwhelming — especially for a first experience.
Before You Read the Numbers
Dosage Levels
All doses are for fresh magic truffles — which is how Cloud920 sells them. Fresh truffles are 70–80% water by weight.
Microdose
Sub-perceptual. No visual effects. Subtle mood lift, focus, openness. Used on a regular schedule for cumulative benefits.
Low
Mild effects. Light mood shift, enhanced senses, some visual enhancement. Good for first-timers who want a gentle introduction.
Moderate
Clear psychedelic effects. Visual changes, emotional depth, altered sense of time. A full experience for most people.
High
Strong effects. Significant visual and perceptual changes, deep introspection. For experienced users only.
Very High
Intense experience. Not recommended without significant prior experience and a trusted, sober sitter present.
First Time? Start Here
Recommended first dose: 5–7g fresh truffles
This range produces a genuine psychedelic experience for most people without being overwhelming. You'll feel a clear shift in perception and mood, some visual enhancement, and a sense of emotional openness — without losing your bearings.
What to do
- →Eat on an empty stomach (3–4 hours without food) for faster, more consistent onset
- →Chew thoroughly — truffles release more psilocybin when broken down
- →Set aside 6–8 hours. Effects typically last 4–6 hours, plus time to come down
- →Have a trusted, sober person nearby if it's your first time
- →Don't mix with alcohol or other substances
Onset and Duration
| Phase | Timing |
|---|---|
| Onset | 30–60 minutes after eating |
| Peak | 2–3 hours in |
| Come down | 4–5 hours in |
| Full return to baseline | 6–8 hours |
Don't redose because "nothing is happening" before the 90-minute mark — a common mistake that leads to taking too much.
How to Eat Magic Truffles
Chew directly
The most straightforward method. Chew thoroughly — the smaller the particles, the more psilocybin is released. Earthy and bitter taste.
Make a tea
Chop and steep in hot (not boiling) water for 15–20 minutes. Strain and drink. Faster onset, easier taste for many people.
Lemon tek
Soak chopped truffles in fresh lemon juice for 20 minutes before eating. Faster onset, potentially more intense effects at the same dose.
Use with caution — can significantly amplify effects.

Legality is the first question most people ask. It's a fair one — and the answer varies significantly depending on where you are in Europe.
The Netherlands: Legal
Magic truffles are legal to sell, buy, and possess in the Netherlands.
This legal status came about through a specific gap in Dutch drug legislation. When the Netherlands updated its drug laws in 2008 to prohibit magic mushrooms, sclerotia — the underground storage structures commonly called truffles — were not explicitly included. They remain legal and are sold openly in smart shops and online.
Cloud920 is based in the Netherlands. We sell magic truffles legally and ship within Europe.
The Rest of Europe: It Varies
The legal status of magic truffles across Europe is not uniform. Psilocybin itself is a controlled substance in most European countries — but whether truffles are treated the same as mushrooms or occupy a separate legal category depends on each country's specific legislation.
| Country | Status |
|---|---|
| Netherlands | Legal |
| Spain | Tolerated |
| Portugal | Decriminalised |
| Czech Republic | Decriminalised |
| Germany | Illegal |
| France | Illegal |
| Belgium | Illegal |
| Italy | Illegal |
| UK | Illegal |
| Austria | Illegal |
| Switzerland | Illegal |
This table reflects our best understanding of the legal landscape at the time of writing. Laws change. Always verify current legal status in your country before purchasing.
What About Shipping?
We ship from the Netherlands across Europe. Whether it is legal to receive magic truffles in your country is your responsibility to verify.
In countries where truffles are not clearly legal, we recommend checking current local law before placing an order. We are transparent about what we sell — and we believe you should be informed about what you're ordering and receiving.
What About Growing Psilocybin Mushrooms?
The legal status of growing psilocybin mushrooms varies by country and often depends on whether the activity is considered "production" of a controlled substance.
Spores and liquid cultures of psilocybin species occupy a further legal nuance — spores contain no psilocybin themselves and are legal in many jurisdictions for microscopy purposes. Once spores germinate and mycelium develops, the resulting organism may contain psilocybin and could be considered controlled.
Our sterilised spawn bags contain no mycelium or psilocybin — they are legal to ship anywhere. What you choose to cultivate with them is your responsibility.
The Direction of Travel
The legal landscape around psilocybin is shifting across Europe. Clinical research is accelerating. Several countries are actively reviewing their approach to psychedelic-assisted therapy. The trajectory — while slow — is toward greater tolerance and, in some contexts, legalisation for therapeutic use.
We follow these developments closely. Our position has always been clear: honesty, quality, and supporting people on their journey responsibly.

Magic truffles and magic mushrooms come from the same family of fungi and contain the same active compound — psilocybin. But they're not the same thing, and the differences matter depending on what you're looking for.
Here's a plain explanation of what sets them apart.
What They Actually Are
The fruiting bodies of psilocybin-containing fungi — the part of the fungus that grows above (or near) ground and produces spores. When people refer to "magic mushrooms," they usually mean the dried caps and stems of species like Psilocybe cubensis.
Also called sclerotia — dense, compact masses of mycelium that form underground as an energy reserve. Not all psilocybin species produce them, but species like Psilocybe tampanensis and Psilocybe mexicana do. The truffle is the fungus storing nutrients underground, not fruiting.
Same organism. Same psilocybin. Different biological structure and different part of the growth cycle.
Are the Effects the Same?
Largely yes — both produce effects through psilocybin, which the body converts to psilocin after ingestion. The core experience is the same: altered perception, emotional depth, visual changes, and a shift in sense of self.
The differences tend to be in onset and intensity.
| Magic Truffles | Magic Mushrooms | |
|---|---|---|
| Active compound | Psilocybin + psilocin | Psilocybin |
| Onset | 30–60 minutes | 30–60 minutes |
| Duration | 4–6 hours | 4–6 hours |
| Potency | Varies by species; generally milder than dried mushrooms | Varies by strain; generally more potent gram-for-gram |
| Consistency | Fresh truffles: very consistent | Dried mushrooms: variable by strain and batch |
Truffles contain both psilocybin and psilocin — psilocin is the active form, meaning truffles can feel like they take effect slightly faster. The overall experience is similar to mushrooms, though many users describe truffle experiences as slightly smoother or more manageable at equivalent doses.
Potency: Gram for Gram
Fresh truffles are less potent gram-for-gram than dried mushrooms — primarily because fresh truffles contain a lot of water. Most truffles are 70–80% water by weight.
When comparing on a dry-weight basis, truffles and mushrooms from the same potency tier are broadly comparable. A standard fresh truffle dose (typically 5–15g) is roughly equivalent to 1–2g of dried mushrooms. This makes truffles easier to dose precisely — especially for beginners.
Legality: Where They Differ Most
Magic Mushrooms
Illegal in most European countries, including the Netherlands. Dried Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms are prohibited.
Magic Truffles
Legal to sell, buy, and possess in the Netherlands. When Dutch law was updated in 2008 to prohibit magic mushrooms, sclerotia were not explicitly included.
For growers in other European countries, the legal status of truffles varies. Check the laws in your country before purchasing. → Are Magic Truffles Legal in Europe?
