Magic mushroom truffles, also known as sclerotia or philosopher’s stones, are the underground storage structures of certain Psilocybe species that produce psilocybin and psilocin—the same psychoactive compounds found in magic mushrooms. Unlike the above-ground fruiting bodies (mushrooms), truffles form below the soil as dense, compact masses that store nutrients and allow the organism to survive […]

Though they look different from the classic cap-and-stem mushrooms, truffles contain the same psychoactive compounds: psilocybin and psilocin. When ingested, these compounds interact with serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to […]
