WHAT ARE MAGIC MUSHROOMS?

Magic mushrooms are a special kind of mushroom treasured for their ability to produce strong psychedelic effects.

The most common kind of magic mushrooms fall under the Psilocybe genus. This genus encompasses over 200 different varieties of mushrooms, all of which contain psilocybin, the main compound responsible for producing psychedelic effects (such as hallucinations and altered perceptions) in the human brain.

Some of the most popular varieties of Psilocybin mushrooms include:

B+: B+ is a very popular mushroom strain, treasured for its potency and the size of its fruit. With some grow kits producing harvests in as little as 2 weeks, this is a great strain for novice growers looking to produce potent mushrooms with little experience.

Ecuador: Originating from the Andean region of Ecuador, this strain is renowned for its resilience, making it another popular choice for new cultivators. While this strain doesn’t produce massive yields, it is very predictable and easy to work with.

Hawaiian: Psilocybe cubensis Hawaiian is mushroom variety known for producing large flushes and big fruits. Contrary to popular belief, this strain didn’t originate in Hawaii (there are no reports of naturally growing mushrooms in Hawaii). However, the first company to sell this strain was supposedly based in Honolulu.

Golden Teacher: The Golden Teacher is a classic strain of magic mushroom that first made its debut in the 1980s. It produces large, gold-coloured mushrooms that are treasured for producing especially insightful trips.

GROWING AND HARVESTING YOUR OWN MAGIC MUSHROOMS

It is possible to forage psilocybin mushrooms in the wild, but you need to be well clued-up about the correct seasons, environments, and laws. Plus, mycology is a very in-depth subject, and mushroom identification can take many years to learn. It's easy to mistake one type of mushroom for another, which is problematic when some are toxic to humans. An easier alternative is to cultivate your own supply of mushrooms at home. Creating your own substrate and liquid culture is rewarding, but requires a completely sterile environment. The most simple option is to purchase a grow kit that is ready-to-go. Grow kits arrive as a fully inoculated substrate in a box that is ready to fruit. Simply add water, place the kit into a bag, and try to maintain temperatures of 23°C.

Once you’ve harvested your mushrooms, it's time to work out the kind of dose you want to take. Whether you are looking for a microdose, low dose, normal dose, or high dose, you can use Zamnesia’s dose calculator to determine how much you need to take according to your bodyweight.

WHAT ARE MAGIC TRUFFLES?

Truffles are similar to mushrooms in that they are dense formations of mycelium. However, truffles are subterranean in nature, meaning they form and remain underground. A truffle, or sclerotium, is still classed as a fruiting body, but it has a different means of spore dispersal. Whereas mushrooms spread spores via their gills, which are then carried by the wind or animals, truffles rely on mushroom-eating animals to dig them up and distribute their spores. Magic truffles still contain the psychoactive constituent psilocybin, and are available in a wide array of potencies. Truffles can be prepared in the same way as mushrooms, often dried and processed into a powder.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAGIC MUSHROOMS AND TRUFFLES?

Truffles and mushrooms are harvested from the same organism and produce the same effects. However, to better understand the difference between magic truffles and magic mushrooms, we need to first understand how a mushroom grows.

Mushrooms are a fungus, meaning they grow from spores usually in the ground or decaying plant material, such as old logs. The heart of a fungus is mycelium. This is the vegetative part of the fungus and is made up of fine, thread-like fibers known as hyphae. When the conditions are just right, a fungus will bloom similar to a flower. These blooms are the mushrooms that we harvest.

Truffles, on the other hand, are actually the sclerotia of a fungus. The sclerotia is a compact mass of hardened  mycelium that lays dormant underground and acts as a food reserve should the fungus experience unfavorable conditions.

PSYCHEDELIC CHEMISTRY

Psilocybin, psilocin, baeocystin and norbaeocystin are naturally occurring psychedelics of the tryptamin type, which until now could only be detected in fungal organisms. The compounds are present in various fungi, including and especially in the genus psilocybe, which is disseminated worldwide.

In the human body, psilocybin/psilocin connect to the serotonin receptors, because the substances are similar to serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) by the chemical structure. It was no less than LSD inventor Dr. Albert Hofmann, who extracted and isolated the entheogenic tryptamines from Psilocybe Mexicana and Psilocybe cubensis in 1955 and and gave them the name of psilocybin and psilocin.

Psilocybin & Psilocin

These two substances can be mentioned within the same breath. Because psilocybin in the human body is metabolized to psilocin by removal of a phosphate group, which is a potent entheogen and induces an effect similar to the semi-synthetic LSD and comparatively low doses of natural N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT). Psilocybin and psilocin are indole alkaloids and belong to the class of tryptamines.

Baeocystin & Norbaeocystin

Baeocystin (= N-Norpsilocybin) and norbaeocystin are weakly effective hallucinogens and belong to the class of tryptamines as well. According to the state of knowledge today, baeocystin and norbaeocystin are only found in fungi and mostly occur in connection with the psilocybin/psilocin complex.

POPULAR PRODUCTS

The Zamnesia Shroom Shop contains hundreds of products, ranging from grow kits to basic equipment. Here are some of our most popular products!

• FRESH MUSHROOM GROW KIT “ECUADOR”

This mushroom kit will provide the grower with a box full of Psilocybe cubensis Ecuador, a strain known for its hardiness and ability to handle the tough climate of the Ecuadorian Andean region. Ecuador is a rather stimulating variety associated with increased speed of thought, which can result in confusion. This unusual effect should be easy to handle for experienced psychonauts, but may be intense for beginners. These mushrooms are visually appealing, featuring a light brown stipe, a white veil, and a golden-brown cap. This product contains a 1200ml cultivation box, a grow bag, and 2 paper clips.

• MUSHROOM HEAT MAT INFRARED

Much like many humans, mushrooms are fans of warmer climates. If your mushrooms experience a temperature that drops below 18°C, chances are the mycelium will enter a state of hibernation. It’s actually very easy to keep your mushrooms within an ideal temperature range, and it doesn’t involve cranking up the central heating all day long. Simple infrared heat mats can be placed under a grow kit and separated by heat-proof objects, such as glass, to boost airflow.

• ZAMNESIA MAGIC TRUFFLE CULTIVATION SET

The Zamnesia Magic Truffle Cultivation Set is a great product for psychonauts and cultivators who want to see what diversity the truffle world has to offer. The set contains 3 individual kits inoculated with 3 different species of truffle: Psilocybe mexicana sclerotia, Psilocybe tampanensis sclerotia, and Psilocybe galindoi sclerotia. Mexicana is the most subtle of the 3, and is a good introductory choice. Galindoi is the most abundant producer, and has a medium potency. Finally, tampanensis truffles, also known as philosophers stones, are the most psychoactive of the bunch, yet induce clear-headed experiences.

The truffle kits are very easy to use, and basically require the “set and forget” technique. Place them out of direct sunlight and wait 13–20 weeks after the date of inoculation.

• VALHALLA

Valhalla magic truffles have to be one of the strongest strains in the world, so much so that they received a 6/5 rating on the Zamnesia strength scale. Valhalla is a fitting name for the potency of these truffles, named after a majestic hall to which slain warriors would arrive after dying in battle. This is a powerful metaphor for the “ego death” that many people report when tripping on psychedelics. Valhalla truffles will induce strong visual hallucinations, new avenues of thought, and new outlooks on life.

• PSILOCYBE "DYNAMIC DUO"

Zamnesia’s Psilocybe Dynamic Duo is a pairing of 2 mild truffle varieties that complement each other extremely well. Both Psilocybe mexicana and Psilocybe pajaritos have pleasant and subtle effects that result in feelings of relaxation, giggles, and increase mood. Only very high doses will initiate a full-blown trip. This pair comes together because they work to enhance each other’s happy and creative effects. Doses of 5g of Psilocybe mexicana will offer a slightly altered state of consciousness, with 10g offering a medium-strength trip.

• MAGIC TRUFFLE GRINDER

A magic truffle grinder is a valuable tool when preparing for a psychedelic voyage. Magic truffles aren’t well-known for their taste; in fact, they are perceived as rather bitter and unpleasant to most people. Using a grinder to process them almost pre-digests them, making it easier on your digestive tract. Grinding truffles will turn them into a paste that is easier to stomach.

• PSYCHEDELIC MICRODOSING PACKAGE

Microdosing is rapidly becoming a popular method to enhance cognitive function, boost attention span, and increase problem-solving abilities. Taking sub-perceptual doses of mushrooms is being employed by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, university students, and many others in order to boost mood and performance.

Zamnesia’s Psychedelic Microdosing Pack contains 6 x 1 gram doses of Psilocybe mexicana truffles. Dosing these truffles once every 3 days for a period of 10 weeks will help you to feel more in touch with your emotions and more sharp in thought and communication.
