How much psilocybin is in a microdose of truffles?
A microdose of 1 gram of truffles usually contains around 1 mg of psilocybin. This is because fresh truffles typically contain about 0.5-2 mg of psilocybin per gram of truffle. If the truffles are of a strong variety and not too old, they contain more psilocybin than if they are of a weaker variety and have already aged.
The content psilocybin In fresh truffles, psilocybin can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of truffle, the growing conditions, and the time of harvest. In general, however, psilocybin is relatively unstable and can break down rapidly after harvest.
Research into the degradation of psilocybin in fresh mushrooms has shown that its content can decrease over time. A study conducted by Stijve and Kuyper (1985) showed that the psilocybin content in fresh Psilocybe semilanceata mushrooms had decreased by approximately 50% after 8 days of storage at room temperature. Another study by Leung et al. (1965) reported a decrease of 50% in the psilocybin content of fresh Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms after 13 days of storage at 25°C.
Although there are limited specific studies on the degradation of psilocybin in fresh truffles, we can assume that a similar process of degradation occurs after harvest. It is important to note that the degradation rate of psilocybin can also be influenced by factors such as humidity, temperature, and exposure to light.
To preserve the freshness and potency of truffles, it is generally recommended to store them in a vacuum in a cool, dark, and dry place. Consuming fresh truffles shortly after harvest can therefore result in a higher psilocybin content than when they are stored for a longer period.
However, it is important to note that the breakdown of psilocybin does not necessarily mean that the truffles completely lose their psychoactive properties. There are other compounds in truffles, such as psilocin, baeocystin, and norbaeocystin, that can also be responsible for the psychedelic effects.

A microdose of psilocybin truffles typically contains approximately 1 to 2 grams of fresh truffles, which corresponds to approximately 1 to 2 milligrams of psilocybin. The truffles used at Triptherapie contain on average 1 mg psilocybin per gram of truffle.
With microdosing, you aim for subperceptual effectsYou hardly feel it consciously, but may experience subtle benefits such as increased focus, creativity, or an improved mood. This dosage falls under trip level 1, where slight mood improvement and greater openness are experienced, without visual or hallucinogenic effects.
