1. Heavenly Delight Truffles (Psilocybe Ecuadoria) — 15 gram
Heavenly Delight is a 15-gram pack of fresh sclerotia at the lower end of this supplier’s price range, sold under a name borrowed from the Ecuadorian mushroom strain.
At €14.50 for fifteen grams it is one of the more affordable full-size truffle packs we carry, which raises a fair question about what you get and give up at different price points. Section 3 answers it.
A note on the name, because it is worth being straight about. The Latin-style name on this product is a commercial designation rather than an accepted species. More than that: the mushroom strain it borrows its name from does not form sclerotia at all. Only a handful of Psilocybe species produce truffles — principally tampanensis, mexicana and galindoi — so whatever is in this pack is one of those, sold under a name borrowed from the mushroom world. We have asked the supplier to confirm which, and we will put it on this page when they do.
Legal status: Sclerotia are legal to buy, sell and possess in the Netherlands. When Dutch lawmakers banned psilocybin mushrooms in 2008 the prohibition was drawn along a botanical line: it named the above-ground fruiting bodies. Sclerotia, the underground nutrient reserves of the mycelium, fell outside that list. Almost no other country makes that distinction, and carrying truffles across a border is a separate matter from buying them here. Check your own law.

3. Price and quality
Truffle prices in this shop run from about €12.95 to €21.95 for the same fifteen grams. It is worth being clear about what actually drives that, because the honest answer is not always “quality”:
| What drives price | How much it really matters |
|---|---|
| Strain reputation | A great deal, and it is the least evidenced factor. A strain with a following commands a premium whether or not anything measurable justifies it. |
| Actual potency | Genuinely varies between strains, and also varies enormously within a strain by batch, growing conditions and individual sclerotium. Rarely as clean a distinction as pricing implies. |
| Freshness and handling | Matters a great deal and is largely invisible at the point of sale. Vacuum sealing, cold chain and how recently it was harvested affect what arrives more than the strain name does. |
| Brand | Mush Magic, McSmart and the smaller producers all price differently for comparable material. |
| Pack size | The one straightforwardly comparable factor. Cost per gram is worth calculating. |
3.1 What a cheaper pack does and does not mean
- It does not mean weaker. Alkaloid content varies more within any given strain than between most strains at different price points.
- It does not mean older. Everything we sell is vacuum-sealed fresh and refrigerated; the date it was packed matters and the price does not tell you it.
- It usually means less reputation attached. Which is a marketing fact rather than a product fact.
- What you should actually compare is pack size, published figures where they exist, and how recently it was packed. Ask us about the last one — we would rather tell you than have you guess from the price.
For a first full-size pack, an affordable one is a perfectly sensible choice, and spending more does not buy you a better first experience.
4. Preparation and use
4.1 Getting it right
- Weigh the dose on a 0.1 g scale and put the rest of the pack back in the fridge before you start.
- Eat something small a couple of hours earlier. Not a heavy meal, not an empty stomach.
- Chew slowly and thoroughly. Sclerotia are tough, and half-chewed material absorbs unevenly. A lemon or a strong juice makes it easier to get down.
- Set a timer for ninety minutes and do not consider more until it goes off. That is the rule that prevents most bad evenings.
- Have the day clear — four to six hours of effects and an evening you will not want scheduled.
4.2 Setting
- Someone stays sober and stays with you. They need to know what you took and roughly how much.
- Be seated or lying down before the first effects. Postural control is not reliable.
- Make the space safe first. No flames, no sharp or breakable objects, no stairs, no open windows.
- Keep a trip stopper to hand. Most are never opened; having one still helps.
- Nothing combined with it. No alcohol, no cannabis, no other substance, prescribed or otherwise.
4.3 Cautions
- Over 18s only.
- Not in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
- Not for anyone with a personal or close family history of psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or another serious psychiatric condition. Psychedelics can trigger episodes in people who are already predisposed — this is the caution that matters most on the page.
- Not alongside SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs or lithium without talking to a doctor. Lithium and psychedelics together have been linked to seizures.
- Nothing else in the mix: no alcohol, no cannabis, no other substance.
- No driving and no machinery for the rest of the day.
- Nausea in the first hour is normal. Something light a few hours beforehand helps.
- Fridge, sealed, away from children and pets.
