Can you freeze magic truffles?
Yes, it is possible to freeze magic truffles. Freezing magic truffles can help preserve their freshness and potency for a longer period. However, keep in mind that even in the freezer, truffles do age slowly and the psilocybin content decreases more slowly. Although we prefer drying (for our own use), we offer some tips here for freezing truffles.
First, it is important to clean the magic truffles thoroughly before freezing them. Carefully remove any dirt or impurities. This can be done by gently rinsing the truffles under cold water and then letting them dry.
Next, you must place the magic truffles in an airtight container before putting them in the freezer. This could be a ziplock bag or a vacuum sealing bag, for example. It is essential to remove all air from the container to protect the truffles from freezer burn and oxidation.
Additionally, it is advisable to divide the magic truffles into small portions before freezing them. This way, you can thaw only the amount you need, without thawing and refreezing the rest of the truffles, which could affect the quality.
Store the magic truffles in the freezer at a temperature of -18°C or lower. This ensures that the truffles are properly preserved and retain their potency.
It is important to note that freezing magic truffles may slightly alter the texture. After thawing, they may be softer or slimier than fresh truffles. However, this does not affect the potency or effects of the truffles.
It is also crucial to know that freezing magic truffles will not destroy their psychoactive substances. They remain just as potent, provided they have been frozen and thawed correctly according to the guidelines mentioned above.

Yes, you can freeze truffles, but the structure seems to get ruined. And they still seem to lose potency. Eating them fresh is best, as that is when they contain the most psilocybin. Otherwise, drying is a good alternative.

Yes, you can freeze magic truffles to preserve them longer, but there are a few important points to keep in mind:
First, it is important to clean the truffles thoroughly before freezing them. Rinse them gently with cold water and then dry them carefully. Next, it is best to store them in an airtight container, such as a ziplock bag or vacuum pack, removing as much air as possible. This helps prevent freezer burn and oxidation.
In terms of effectiveness, psychoactive substances such as psilocybin are largely preserved if the truffles are frozen properly and stored at -18°C or lower. However, keep in mind that the texture of the truffles may change: after thawing, they are often somewhat softer or slimier. This has minimal impact on the effects, as everything in the freezer simply ages and the truffles therefore become less potent. However, the greatest impact is on the texture and the experience.
Alternatively, you can also dry truffles, which makes long-term use and dosing easier. Drying does slightly reduce potency, but is convenient for microdosing or long-term storage.
Always pay close attention to the smell when thawing: if they smell strongly musty or rotten, it is better not to use them. Fresh truffles should have an earthy scent — comparable to forest soil or fresh carrots.
For personal advice on use, dosage, or storage — especially in the context of a truffle session or psychedelic therapy — it is best to fill out an intake form first. This way, we can best assess your situation.
