1. iMicrodose — OG Microdosing Kit
The OG kit: three vacuum-sealed 5-gram packs of Psilocybe galindoi sclerotia. Of the four iMicrodose kits this is the middle option, which in practice makes it the one most people settle on.
Psilocybe galindoi is native to certain Mexican forests and was named by the mycologist Gastón Guzmán in honour of Carlos Galindo Arias and his family. Guzmán described more Psilocybe species than anyone before or since, and a great deal of what is known about the genus rests on his work.
The truffles are yellowish to light brown with a nutty look to them, and their strength is described as medium. They are more uniform in size than tampanensis, which makes them easier to portion.
Legal status: Sclerotia — magic truffles — are legal to buy, sell and possess in the Netherlands. When Dutch law banned psilocybin mushrooms in 2008, the prohibition named the above-ground fruiting bodies; sclerotia, which grow underground, fell outside it. Most other countries make no such distinction and treat truffles as a controlled substance. Check your own law before ordering, and be aware that carrying them across a border is a separate question from buying them here.

3. The middle option
Choosing between three strengths sounds harder than it is. What actually separates them:
| Kit | Species and character |
|---|---|
| MINDFULI | Psilocybe mexicana — the mildest. The place to start if you have never microdosed. |
| OG | Psilocybe galindoi — medium. Noticeable where mexicana can be too subtle to assess, without the jump in strength that tampanensis brings. |
| UNITI | Psilocybe tampanensis — the strongest, and the most variable in specimen size. |
| TRINITI | All three species in one box, 5 grams of each, for comparing them directly. |
3.1 Why medium is usually the right answer
- The commonest microdosing complaint is feeling nothing at all, which makes it impossible to tell whether the amount was too small or the practice is not for you.
- The second commonest is taking too much and spending a working day rather more affected than intended.
- A medium-strength species gives you room between those two failures at a sensible starting quantity.
- It is also the easiest to portion. Galindoi sclerotia are reasonably uniform, so a gram looks like a gram from pack to pack.
- And the strength is consistent between batches, which matters more for microdosing than for a single session — you are comparing days against each other.
If you have already tried mexicana and found it too subtle to assess, this is the natural next step rather than jumping to tampanensis.
4. How to microdose
- One gram is the reference point. Everyone starts there regardless of body weight or prior experience.
- Morning, before the day starts. Taken late it will affect your sleep.
- Keep a note of each dose and each day. A microdose is subtle by definition; memory is not a reliable instrument for measuring it.
- Change one thing at a time, and give each amount several sessions before deciding.
- Leave days between doses. Section 4 explains why this is not optional.
4.1 Frequency
The single most important rule is this: do not microdose every day. Tolerance to psilocybin builds quickly and cross-tolerance is well documented, which means daily dosing produces less effect while you take more material. Established schedules leave days off between doses precisely for that reason, and taking a longer break every few weeks is normal practice.
4.2 Cautions
- Not for anyone under 18.
- Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Do not use if you or a close family member has a history of psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or another serious psychiatric condition. Psychedelics can precipitate episodes in people predisposed to them, and this applies to microdosing as much as to a full dose.
- Do not combine with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs or lithium without medical advice. Lithium in particular is associated with serious adverse events alongside psychedelics.
- Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how a given amount affects you.
- Do not use alongside alcohol or cannabis.
- Keep refrigerated and out of reach of children.
The most common microdosing failure is not overdoing it — it is feeling nothing and being unable to tell why.
- Three vacuum-sealed 5-gram packs of Psilocybe galindoi sclerotia — 15 grams total.
- Medium strength: the middle of the iMicrodose range and the most commonly chosen.
- Named by Gastón Guzmán in honour of Carlos Galindo Arias and his family.
- Yellowish to light brown, nutty in appearance, and reasonably uniform in size.
- Start at 1 gram in the morning. Never on consecutive days.
- Sclerotia are legal in the Netherlands; most other countries treat them as controlled. 18+ only.
- Order before 16:00 on weekdays for same-day dispatch in plain, unmarked packaging.
