The perfect mushroom dosage

The right mushroom dosage depends mainly on the effects you want. In this example, we'll assume you plan to use fully dried mushrooms. You can also use our Mushroom Dosage Calculator use to the amount of Magic truffles / Mushrooms to be determined.

There are 4 amounts to take magic mushrooms with each having their own effect;

• Micro (microdosing – no clearly noticeable effects)
• Low (very minimal psychoactive effects)
• Medium (normal set of effects)
• Strong (ranging from a full-on trip to a hero trip)

In this example, we will assume that you weigh between 60 and 80 kg and that you have an average sensitivity to psilocybin/psilocin. We will provide some tips if you weigh more or less, or if you feel you are more or less sensitive to magic mushrooms.

So, based on averages, here are the suggested dosages for dried psilocybin mushrooms:

• For microdosing – 0.1 to 0.25 grams of dried psilocybin mushrooms.
• For a light trip (low dose) – approximately 1 gram of dried psilocybin mushrooms.
• For a normal trip – 1.5 to 2 grams of dried magic mushrooms.
• For a complete trip (strong) – 2 to 3 grams of dried mushrooms.
• For a heroic trip – 2.5 to 4 grams of dried magic mushrooms.

Before proceeding with how to lower/increase a dose based on different factors, remember to take these dosages on an empty stomach with a minimum of 3 to 4 hours without food. If you can fast for 10 to 12 hours beforehand, that's even better. Also, these recommended dosages assume you haven't taken psychedelics for 2 to 4 weeks.

When it comes to sensitivity, there's no direct answer, so try to build yourself up gradually. Be especially careful if you know you're sensitive to many other substances (weed, alcohol, etc.). We then recommend taking no more than 1 to 1.5 grams for your first attempt. Through a number of experiences with mushrooms, you will eventually know the perfect dosage that suits you.
