He managed to extract a fungus strain that produces particularly large truffles. In general, the Psilocybe tampanensis is one of the few magic mushrooms that form truffles. Also known as sclerotia, truffles are basically fungi that remain dormant, waiting for better growing conditions. Since the discovery of Psilocybe tampanensis, not a second specimen of the magic mushroom has been sighted in the wild. Today the Psilocybe tampanensis is cultivated under special conditions. All of the spores and truffles on offer are derived from the philosopher's stone specimen found in Tampa. The sclerotia have a pleasant, medium-strength effect and produce extremely vivid visions.
When taking magic truffles of the Psilocybe tampanensis variety, you can look forward to colorful and impressive visions. However, the sclerotia from the Philosopher's Stone are medium-strong in their effect, so that the trip is rather soft. The first hallucinogenic effects occur 15 to 60 minutes after ingestion and are initially very gentle. Like all psychedelic mushrooms, Psilocybe tampanensis contains the active substances psilocybin and psilocin, which are responsible for the occurrence of hallucinations. Both psilocybin and psilocin are alkaloids that belong to the tryptamine group. Psilocybin is the precursor to psilocin. Psilocybin bears a close resemblance to dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which is broken down very quickly by the body unless you take it with an MAOI.
Many psychonauts report fits of laughter in the first few hours of the trip. A full trip can last four to six hours, with the visions decreasing in intensity and occurring at increasing intervals. It is precisely because of its mild effects that Psilocybe tampanensis is so popular. Because the strength and number of psychoactive compounds varies from truffle to truffle, the effects can never be accurately predicted. This is another reason why you should always start with a smaller dose.
Newcomers are advised to use a low dose. This is especially important when ingesting magic philosopher's stone sclerotia for the first time. We recommend a dose of five to a maximum of nine grams. It is advisable to start with the lowest dose. For a strong trip, take 10 to 15 grams.
It is best to consume magic mushrooms on an empty stomach. You should chew the magic mushrooms well to avoid nausea. However, don't be surprised if you don't like the taste of the sclerotia: the aromas of the magic mushroom range from slightly nutty to earthy to tart. If you wish, you can make a tea from the magic philosopher's stone truffles. Boil some water, add the chopped truffles and simmer for about 20 minutes. Not Boiling!!
You should start your Philosopher's Stone trip in good physical and mental condition. It is best if you take the truffles in a familiar environment - for example at home or in the homes of close friends. Another plus is the presence of an experienced psychonaut. You should definitely refrain from taking psychedelic mushrooms alone.
Philosopher's Stone truffles do not necessarily have to be vacuum sealed. White fluff may form on fresh truffles. This is an indication that the sclerotia are alive. The higher the temperature, the faster fluff forms. That’s why you should keep your truffles in the fridge. If stored properly, the truffles can be kept for about a month. However, make sure that they do not dry out. Psilocybe tampanensis truffles should never be frozen or overheated.
Although Psilocybe tampanensis truffles are relatively mild in effect, a bad trip cannot be ruled out. It is therefore important that you are in a positive environment when taking magic mushrooms. Under no circumstances should you take the truffles together with alcohol or other mind-expanding substances. The Psilocybe tampanensis is unsuitable for minors as well as for pregnant women and nursing mothers. In addition, it is not recommended to take magic truffles if you are suffering from depression, anxiety or mental illness.
