I am not new to psylocibin. About 27 years ago, I experimented wildly with psychedelic mushrooms (can’t remember the varieties, this was late nineties).
The first thing the shrooms did for me was evaporate a rampant coke addiction overnight.
The second thing happened one evening when I had taken another very high dose. As my mind was working through all sorts of topics, all of a sudden my personal life journey came into view. I knew who I was, why I was who I was and how I became to be who I was. I understood my mother’s role in my life and forgave her for things that happened in the past.
And it was an amazing process. It was like a super saturated salt solution, which is clear and doesn’t contain any structure. If you then ‘seed’ it with a small grain of salt, the whole solution will instantaneously crystallize and beautiful structures will appear. Thát’s what it felt like.
I didn’t really go back to shrooms after that and the ‘turnaround ‘ of my perspective on myself lasts until today.
Then, a few months ago, I tried Psylobe Tameplandia truffles (Philosopher’s stone). I chewed 25 grams of fresh truffle and that was a very nice experience. I was with a friend and we had fascinating conversations. It was potent but not overwhelming and produced beautiful visuals.
I then tried this again by myself, intending to go deeper. Chewed 25 grams and was so violently sick I feared my stomach might sustain damage. I shivered and felt completely blown off my socks. It was very powerful but far from nice.
I tried eating dried truffle. Even more disgusting and equally unpleasant.
So I then tried to make a tea with dried truffles. No effect to speak of.
Recently I tried chewing truffles again and immediately threw up. And violently so too. This was 15 grams of a less strong variety but the effect was equally disastrous.
I then made a tea with the remaining 30 grams I had.
Method:
- chop the truffles as fine as you can
- heat some water to 90C°.
- put truffles in a tea strainer, cover with the hot water
- steep for 20 minutes
- add a teaspoon of lime juice and a teaspoon of sweetener (I use strawberry syrup or regular cane sugar syrup)
- drink a a pace you like
This was quite potent but not as visual as what I had experienced chewing the truffles.
So now I have 100 grams of High Hawaiians (P. Tameplandia or philosopher’s stone) and intend to make a tea.
1st thing I’ll do is to add a bit of lime juice to the hot water. Lowering the pH to 5-6 (mildly acidic) helps the extraction.
2nd thing is to steep the tea longer, for 30 minutes, but spread over 3 times ten minutes. The reason for this is the extraction gradient. Liquid around the truffles particles will get saturated, slowing the extraction rate. (The same reason why washing a laboratory beaker with distilled water is more efficient with 3x10ml than with 30ml).
Does anybody have any tips, suggestions and/or experiences?

. I did in the beginning but now even the smell makes me nauseous. I’ll give it a whirl though
