What is a microdose of truffles?
A microdose is 0.5–1 gram of fresh psilocybin truffles without visual effects.
Microdosing truffles means using a very low, non-hallucinogenic dose of psilocybin truffles according to a fixed schedule. The goal is subtle support for focus, creativity, and mood, without tripping…
Microdosing is taking a sub-perceptual dose of psilocybin truffles. Sub-perceptual means you don’t experience hallucinations, but light, functional effects. Scientific literature describes microdosing as a dose below the perceptual threshold[1].

People choose microdosing because they want subtle improvements in daily functioning without a full psychedelic experience. At the same time, placebo-controlled research designs show that expectation effects can play a role in perceived benefits.
Microdosing isn’t about “tripping,” but about small, consistent optimization of your day.
Important: effects vary per person. Research into microdosing shows that many findings are based on self-reporting and that conclusions may therefore be limited[3].
Use fresh truffles from a reliable source. For example, check out our microdosing truffles which are specifically suitable for low dosages and consistent use.
Because microdosing is about subtle effects, accurate weighing is important. Preferably use a (digital) precision scale.
Fadiman schedule:
This allows space to observe effects and helps limit tolerance. Psilocybin affects serotonergic pathways, among others, making rest days advisable[4].
Alternative: dosing every other day. This is sometimes chosen for shorter cycles, but keep a logbook extra closely to prevent over- or underdosing.
Keep a short logbook (for example 1–2 minutes per day). Note things like:
A logbook helps to recognize patterns and makes it easier to weigh expectation effects[2].
Many people evaluate after 4–6 weeks. After that, take at least a 2-week break to prevent tolerance and to assess what remains without microdosing.
Fresh truffles contain moisture. Therefore, the microdose is higher than with dried magic mushrooms. Always start low and only increase if you notice after several doses that you experience little to nothing.
Do you see visual changes or feel strong psychoactive effects? Then the dose is too high.
Effects are subtle and vary per person. Commonly reported experiences are:
Research suggests that reported effects are often subjective and that more controlled studies are needed to better interpret effects[1].
Do you mainly notice restlessness or distraction? Then the dose may be too high or the schedule too intensive. Lower the dose and/or take extra rest days.
In the Netherlands, fresh psilocybin truffles are legally available through smartshops. Dried magic mushrooms are prohibited.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, psilocybin can cause acute psychological effects. Therefore, be extra careful with set & setting, and do not use it if you feel mentally unstable[4].
Microdosing is discouraged in case of:
Do not use in combination with alcohol or other substances. Avoid participating in traffic or risky activities, as effects can vary per person.
Clinical research into psilocybin is conducted by, among others, Johns Hopkins Medicine[5]. These studies focus primarily on controlled therapeutic applications; microdosing is still researched relatively limitedly.
