Unlock the Wisdom of Magic Truffles

Magic truffles are a potent gift from nature and a natural psychedelic. They grow beneath the earth, carrying the grounding energy of the soil while opening the mind to deeper insights.

They have been cherished across cultures for their mystical properties and profound effects on the body, mind, and spirit. I work closely with these sacred fungi and offer various sessions and events in which you can explore them. Whether you’re curious about their effects, their history, or how they grow, this page will help you understand the profound potential of magic truffles.

Embracing ancient wisdom

What are Magic Truffles?

Psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychoactive ingredient found within magic truffles, is a gentle guide that invites us to expand our perceptions and explore the uncharted territories of our consciousness. The effects of psilocybin are renowned for their ability to deepen self-awareness, dissolve boundaries, and foster a profound sense of interconnectedness with the universe.

Microdosing
Microdosing invloves consuming a very small dose of magic truffles. Unlike traditional doses, which lead to noticeable perceptual shifts, microdosing aims for more sub-perceptual effects. The doses are so small that they don’t induce intense alterations in perception or consciousness. Instead, many describe the effects as a gentle enhancement of mood, creativity, and cognitive function. Also, everything you experience becomes amplified. This is why I love working with a microdose of magic truffles in my private soundhealings for example. The sound is felt even more intensely and memories, insights or emotions that might otherwise stay hidden, come to the surface more easily. If you are looking for a subtler way to experience the benefits of psychedelics without the intensity of full doses then this is a beautiful first step into the world of plant medicine.

Medicine from the Earth

How do Magic Truffles grow?

 
Magic truffles, also known as sclerotia, are the underground counterpart of magic mushrooms. Unlike mushrooms that grow above the surface and spread their spores through the air, truffles remain nestled beneath the earth, forming dense clusters of compact mycelium. They actually develop as a survival mechanism, allowing the fungal network to store nutrients and endure harsher conditions. These truffles thrive in warm, humid environments with rich organic material. In nature, they often grow in symbiosis with trees and plants, connecting to the larger web of underground life.

The grounding energy of Magic Truffles

Since magic truffles grow beneath the surface, their energy is deeply grounding. They carry the wisdom of the earth, offering stability and connection to the roots of existence. Unlike the expansive, skyward energy of mushrooms, truffles guide us inward—helping us reconnect with our own foundations, bringing clarity, and anchoring us in the present moment.

Magic Truffles in ceremonies

During ceremonies, this grounding quality can be especially supportive, allowing for deep introspection, emotional processing, and a strong connection to both the body and the earth.

The effect of Magic Truffles

The effects of magic truffles depend on dosage, setting, individual sensitivity and stae of being. It usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes before you feel the effects after taking magic truffles. Your senses then become hightened. Many people experience a sense of deep introspection, a feeling of oneness with all living things. There can be meaningful insights, memories, emotions coming to the surface.

The history of psychedelics

Across cultures and continents, indigenous peoples recognized the potential of psychedelics as tools to access the divine and delve into the layers of human consciousness. In rituals that spanned from the rainforests of the Amazon to the mountains of the Himalayas, sacred plants like magic truffles and mushrooms were employed as allies on the path to understanding the self, the cosmos, and the intricate dance that binds them.

In many cultures, the consumption of psychedelics was embedded in pivotal life events. Coming-of-age ceremonies, initiations, and rites of passage often involved partaking in these substances, guiding individuals through transformative experiences that marked significant transitions in their lives. These rituals were not only a means of personal growth but also a way to connect with ancestors, spirits, and the deeper currents of existence.

The echoes of these ancient practices still resonate in modern times. As we explore the healing potential of psychedelics today, we continue a tradition that spans millennia – a tradition rooted in the belief that the natural world holds the keys to our well-being, growth, and spiritual connection. Sadly psychedelics are still taboo for many people. The fear and hesitation that surround it stems from a lack of understanding of their profound healing aspects.
With respect for the traditions that have come before and a deep curiosity for the mysteries that lie ahead, I try to walk this path that unites us with the threads of healing woven throughout human history.

FAQ

Frequently Asked

Do you give plant medicine journeys with a full dose?

Yes, I do. Together with my partner Robert Tolenaars I guide plant medicine journeys in small groups of max 9 participants. We usually work with people who already know us and feel connected to our way of working and our music. This is a one day ceremony with sleepover. During the first part we will guide you in understanding which dosage you want to receive: a low, average or high dosage. Please email us for more information and upcoming ceremony dates.

What is the difference between magic truffles and magic mushrooms?

Both contain psilocybin, the psychoactive compound responsible for their effects. The main difference is how they grow:
– Magic mushrooms sprout above ground and spread spores.
– Magic truffles stay underground, forming dense, nutrient-rich clusters.
Their effects can be similar, but the way I see it, is that each plant carries their own energy or ‘spirit’ so to say.

Are magic truffles legal?

The legality of magic truffles depends on your country. In the Netherlands, they are legal and sold openly, while in many other places, psilocybin-containing substances are restricted. Always check local laws before purchasing or consuming.

Can I eat before taking (a microdose of) truffles?

It is best not to eat right before you arrive. Make sure your food is already digested, but you are also not hungry.
Best is to stay away from animal products and coffee for the day

How should magic truffles be stored?

Fresh magic truffles should be kept in the refrigerator (between 2–4°C) and consumed within a few weeks. Dried truffles can last months or even years when stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

Can you microdose magic truffles?

Yes! Many people microdose magic truffles by taking a very small amount (typically 0.5–1 gram of fresh truffles) every few days. This can lead to enhanced creativity, focus, and emotional balance without full psychedelic effects.

Do truffles make you nauseous?

You may feel nauseous for a bit when taking truffles, although this is not always the case. Especially with microdosing it is rare that you feel sick. It’s best to not eat for 2 hours beforehand, and only eat light healthy vegan food the days before a ceremony. If you do get nauseous, drinking ginger tea could help. Furthermore, it is better to accept the nauseous feeling, and try to embrace it. You will often notice it disappears after a while. 

Are there contra-indications for using truffles?

Yes,

  • Pregnant and breastfeeding women are not advised to take psychedelics.
  • Psychological disorders such as borderline, schizophrenia and psychoses are very strong contraindications.
  • If you have cardiovascular problems.
  • If you use medication such as Tramadol, antidepressants, antipsychotics and blood pressure medication.

Are magic truffles safe?

Magic truffles have incredible potential for healing, bringing buried emotions to the surface and offering profound insights. In a guided setting with live music, the experience becomes even more powerful—music helps you navigate the journey, opening the heart.

About the Magic Morning

“I have felt the calling to dive into the world of plant medicine since a long time. But I never found the right setting and the right person to introduce me to these plants.
The environment you provided for me was so safe and healing that I felt fully supported to face my fear and resistance to letting go of control. And to experience what happens to ‘go through’ this because I felt that I was safe with you. I still felt the effects of this today. And something tells me this will stay for a while!

Thank you again for this immensely valuable experience and your wonderful healing powers as a woman. Super inspiring and I feel very grateful that I received this session.

About the Medicine Journey

Program was very intense, and beautiful. The organisers skilfully thought through the sequence of the activities & workshops that it would complement each other. Each of them (activity) was executed with knowledge, wisdom, and good heart intention.
My favourite part was cacao ceremony and mantra singing afternoon. The setting, the cacao cup, the medicines, the choice of songs and instruments scattered around the space, and how Pleuni & Robert conducted the singing, was perfect. They both are excellent musicians with beautiful and complimenting voices, and ability to play different instruments. They nicely feel the mood of the audience and they seductively inspire people into singing, &/or dancing, &/or playing an instrument. It was truly inspiring and uplifting evening. Thank you!
Also, I did enjoy the next day’s breath-work. Surprisingly (for me) I cried, and it released some of my disturbing emotions. Thank you, Teresa!
Food was very tasty and vegetarian, certainly made with love.
Premises – clean and nice.”
