🇪🇺 Legality and Shipping
Are truffles legal in my country?
In the Netherlands, magic truffles (sclerotia) are completely legal to buy, possess, and use. They are not subject to the 2008 ban on magic mushrooms because they have a different growth habit and are not explicitly listed in Schedule I of the Opium Act.
Within the EU, mutual recognition of goods applies, but regulations vary from country to country. Therefore, always check local regulations before ordering or using.
Read more about the legal status of truffles on this page.
Can grow kits be shipped internationally?
Grow kits are completely legal in the Netherlands. They contain mycelium and are not subject to the Opium Act as long as no mushrooms have been grown. Therefore, they can, in principle, be sold throughout the EU. Outside the EU, legislation varies considerably; some countries do not permit import. Always check the regulations in your country yourself; we are not responsible for seizures by customs.
How discreetly will my order be packaged?
We ship all products in neutral, unmarked packaging with no indication of the contents or our company type. The package only displays the shipping address and sender's name, with no product information. Inside, the order is additionally protected with padding.
How long does shipping take within the Netherlands/EU?
Netherlands: usually 1–2 working days after receipt of payment.
EU countries: usually 3–7 working days depending on the country and the postal or courier service.
Please note that orders shipped abroad may sometimes be delayed due to customs checks.
Can I take truffles with me when traveling or on a plane?
No, we strongly advise against it. Outside the Netherlands, the rules are often stricter. Never take risks at border controls.
👉 Microdosing
What is microdosing with truffles?
Microdosing means taking a very small amount of magic truffles, well below the threshold for a trip. The goal is subtle improvements in focus, creativity, and mood, without hallucinations or significant changes in consciousness.
Is microdosing with truffles legal?
In the Netherlands, psilocybin truffles (sclerotia) are completely legal. They are not covered by the 2008 magic mushroom ban because they grow differently (underground) and are not explicitly listed in Schedule I of the Opium Act.
They are also classified as food and are subject to the supervision of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) – the same agency that also inspects regular food products. This means they meet all legal requirements for production and sale within the Netherlands.
Within the EU the following applies: mutual recognition (Regulation 2019/515): products that are legal in one Member State may in principle also be offered for sale in other Member States.
How much do you take in a microdose?
Most people take 0.2 to 1 gram of fresh truffles (or 0.02–0.1 g dried). Always start low and increase if necessary, as sensitivity varies from person to person.
Read more about dosage on the product page.
How often can you microdose?
Commonly used schemes include:
- Fadiman Protocol: 1 day dosing, 2 days break
- Stamets Stack: 4 days dosing, 3 days break
This way you prevent tolerance and give your body and mind rest.
Do you feel any microdosage?
The effects are subtle: increased clarity, focus, creativity, and emotional balance. There are usually little to no visual effects.
What is the best way to take a microdose?
For best results, take in the morning on an empty or light stomach. Chew the truffles slowly or make a tea (15–20 minutes in hot, but not boiling, water).
Is microdosing safe?
Microdosing is generally safe for healthy adults, but it is not suitable for people with mental disorders, during pregnancy/breastfeeding or in combination with antidepressants/antipsychotics.
How long have you been using microdoses?
Some people microdose for a few weeks as a "cure" to build new insights and habits. Others use it only on specific days when they need extra focus or creativity.
Can I drink coffee while microdosing?
Yes, that's possible. Keep in mind that caffeine is a stimulant and can enhance the subtle effects of microdosing. Listen to your body and limit coffee if you experience anxiety.
Can I use alcohol on microdose days?
We advise against combining alcohol with microdosing. It can disrupt the balance and mask the effects.
Can I microdose and exercise?
Yes, that's possible. Many people experience increased body awareness and focus during exercise. Start with a low dose and see what feels right.
Can I drive while microdosing?
We recommend that do not drive when microdosing for the first few timesIf you are sure you will not experience any noticeable effects, driving is usually not a problem.
I don't feel anything from my microdose – what now?
Microdosing is subtle. Don't expect a trip. Sometimes a small dose adjustment is necessary. Read our: Microdosing Protocols Explained – Mindrush.eu
Microdosing makes me drowsy – why is that?
This could be due to timing or individual reactions. Try taking it at a different time, such as in the morning.
What to do about nausea?
Take the dose after a light meal and drink plenty of water. Ginger tea may help. Keep the dose low to allow your body to adjust.
When should I stop microdosing or take breaks?
After several weeks of microdosing, a break of at least 2-4 weeks is recommended. This maintains effectiveness and resets your tolerance.
Is microdosing addictive?
No. Magic truffles do not cause physical addiction. However, we do recommend taking regular breaks.
Can I microdose in combination with medication?
Usage never Magic truffles in combination with antidepressants (SSRI/SNRI), MAOIs, lithium, or antipsychotics. Always consult your doctor if in doubt.
😊 Effects and safety
What are the effects of magic truffles?
The effects of magic truffles are caused by psilocybin, which is converted into psilocin in the body. This can lead to changes in perception, mood, and thinking. Common descriptions include visual patterns, more intense colors, a sense of connection, creative insights, and emotional depth. The experience depends heavily on the dose, the environment, and your mental state.
How long do the effects last?
With a normal dose, effects typically begin 30–60 minutes after ingestion, peaking after 2–3 hours. The total experience often lasts 6–8 hours. With microdosing, the effects are much more subtle and usually only noticeable as a slight improvement in focus, creativity, and mood, without any visual changes.
What is the difference between microdosing and a full dose?
- Microdosing: A very small amount (usually 0.2–1 g fresh), no hallucinations or significant changes in consciousness. Focuses on subtle mental and emotional improvements.
- Full dose: higher amounts (usually 10–15 g fresh), with clear visual effects, altered perception of time, introspection and emotional intensity.
Is microdosing safe long-term?
Research into the long-term effects of microdosing is still in its infancy. Most users report positive experiences, such as improved mood and focus. However, it's important to always take breaks (for example, according to the Fadiman or Stamets schedule) to prevent tolerance. Microdosing is not recommended for people with mental health conditions or in combination with certain medications.
Can I combine truffles with alcohol or other substances?
We strongly advise against this. Alcohol and other drugs can unpredictably intensify or weaken the effects, making the experience less pleasant or even dangerous. For a safe and clear experience, it is recommended to always use truffles on their own.
What to do if the effect is too intense?
- Stay calm and remind yourself that the effect is temporary.
- Find a safe, comfortable place.
- Get guidance from a sober and trusted person.
- Drink some water and breathe calmly.
Avoid crowds, screens or stressful stimuli.
In most cases, the intensity will decrease on its own within a few hours.
👉 Macrodosage
What is macrodosing?
Macrodosing involves taking a larger amount of magic truffles or mushrooms, often enough to experience distinct psychoactive effects, such as visual changes, an altered sense of time, and deeper introspection. This is typically done for spiritual, creative, or personal development purposes.
How much is a macrodose?
With fresh truffles, a macro dose usually starts around 10–15 grams for an average experience.
Higher amounts (15–25 grams or more) are considered strong to very intense and are only suitable for experienced users.
💡 Keep in mind that sensitivity varies from person to person — it’s best to start lower and build up.
What can I expect from a macro dose?
Common descriptions include:
- More intense colors and patterns
- Altered perception of time and space
- Deep introspection or emotional breakthroughs
- Feeling of connection with environment or universe
- Creative insights
The experience is subjective and highly dependent on your mood, environment and dose.
How do I prepare for a macro dose?
- Choose a safe, quiet environment without distractions.
- Take care of a sober tripsitter that remains present throughout the experience.
- Plan sufficient time in (on average 6–8 hours) and take the next day off for rest.
- Avoid alcohol and other substances.
How long do the effects last?
A macro dose of truffles usually lasts 6–8 hours, with a rise of 30–60 minutes, a peak of 2–3 hours, and a quiet decline phase.
Is macrodosing safe?
Macrodosing is not recommended for people with mental health conditions, cardiovascular disease, or in combination with certain medications (such as antidepressants). Although truffles are not physically addictive, the mental effects can be intense. Proper preparation and guidance are essential.
What do I do if the effects become too intense?
- Stay calm and remind yourself that it's temporary.
- Find a comfortable spot and be guided by your trip sitter.
- Drink water and focus on your breathing.
- Close your eyes or listen to soothing music.

Can I receive psilocybin truffles in my country?
European legislation: mutual recognition of goods
Psilocybin truffles are completely legal in the Netherlands. Thanks to the EU Directive on Mutual Recognition of Goods, products legally traded in one EU Member State may also be offered and sold in other Member States—even if they are not explicitly permitted there. This makes it possible to ship legitimately from the Netherlands to other EU countries.
Safety and assessment by RIVM
The effectiveness and safety of psilocybin truffles have been extensively studied by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). Their findings show that the risk of harm is very limited when used responsibly. Because the products are legal in the Netherlands and demonstrably considered safe, customs in other EU countries generally have no grounds to refuse or confiscate shipments from the Netherlands.
