Psilocybe TAMPANENSIS

The psilocybe TAMPANENSIS is one of the most popular magic truffles. They are known to produce the most pleasant, easy going and philosophical trips around! This has led them to collect a few nicknames since their discovery in 1977, including Philosopher’s Stones and Mushrocks. Although famed for the pleasurable nature of the trip, psilocybe TAMPANENSIS are not total beginner magic truffles, as they are more potent than the psilocybes MEXICANA and PAJARITOS. They provide amazing visuals — especially when the eyes are closed — as well as spiritual and metaphysical insights. 

A psilocybe TAMPANENSIS magic truffle is not actually a truffle. It is a scelerotia — the underground food reserves of a fungus, a hardened mass of mycelium. As the psilocybe TAMPANENSIS is the sclerotia of a psilocybin mushroom, it contains all the same psychedelic properties as one. It’s basically a magic mushroom growing under the ground! The psilocybe TAMPANENSIS is especially famous in its truffle form, hence the Philosopher ‘stones’ nickname, because as well as making you wise, they look like little stones! 

In terms of fungal family tree, esteemed mycologist Gaston Guzman places it between psilocybe MEXICANA and psilocybe Caerulescens. It is, however, more potent than the MEXICANA, and the MEXICANA’s cousin, the PAJARITOS. 

If you need reminding about the goodness in the world, the psilocybe TAMPANENSIS is the magic truffle for you. Famed for giving a pleasant trip, full of euphoria and warmth, it is a truffle for those of intermediate (or medium) psychedelic experience. We rate it around 65/100 in terms of strength. It will produce amazing visuals for both open and closed eyes. Many people like to experience part, or all, of their trip in a darkened room to make the most of these visuals, and to get totally lost in their inner philosophical world. However, due to its warm and positive character it can also be enjoyed in nature, with friends, or at home. 

The Tampanensis magic truffle is around 65/100 in terms of strength. The dosages we recommend are: 

• For the beginner we advise 3-5g of fresh TAMPANENSIS magic truffles. 
• For the more experienced we advise 10g of fresh TAMPANENSIS magic truffles.
• For the expert we recommend 15g+ of fresh TAMPANENSIS magic truffles.

You can either chew your fresh magic truffles, or make a tea by infusing them in hot (not boiling) water and drinking it.

Within 15 to 30 minutes you will begin to feel the effects of your magic truffles. Waves of euphoria and the urge to laugh will overcome you. You will begin to see cool visual effects and experience heightened senses. Your trip has begun…

Psilocybe TAMPANENSIS is a psychedelic mushroom that was first identified in 1977 in Tampa, Florida (hence the name) by Steven Pollock. A very rare shroom in the wild, the original is the only known specimen to have been collected, despite later sightings in Mississippi. In fact, every TAMPANENSIS you will find today is a descendant of that original specimen — cloned for our psychedelic pleasure.
