1. Pink Paradise Magic Truffles — 15 grams
Few strains earn repeat orders the way Pink Paradise does, and the reason is character rather than strength. What people describe is a chest-opening warmth, colours that seem to breathe, and an ease in company that makes it a common choice for a shared evening.
Fifteen grams, vacuum-sealed fresh. It is one of the few strains in the range that suits a first experience and a hundredth one equally, which is unusual — most truffles are clearly aimed at one or the other.
It also comes with published concentration figures, which almost nothing else in this category does. Section 3 sets them out and explains how to read them, because a range that wide needs explaining rather than quoting.
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. The numbers
The concentration figure quoted for this strain is 59.3 to 167.8 µg of psilocybin per 100 mg of fresh material. That is a genuinely useful number and also a widely misread one, so here is what it does and does not tell you:
- The range is nearly threefold. The top of it is almost three times the bottom. That is not sloppy measurement — it is the real biological variation between batches, between individual sclerotia and with growing conditions.
- Which means you cannot calculate a dose from it. Anyone doing arithmetic on that figure to four decimal places is producing false precision.
- It is per fresh weight, not dried. Most published figures for mushrooms are dry weight, and the two differ by roughly a factor of ten. Comparing across that line is the commonest error in the subject.
- What it is good for is comparison in general terms, and for understanding why the same amount can land differently on two occasions.
- What actually governs the experience is the amount taken, the person, the setting and the preparation in section 4.
3.1 The stated ranges
| Purpose | Amount |
|---|---|
| Microdosing | 0.5 to 1.5 grams — sub-perceptual, in the morning, never on consecutive days |
| A moderate experience | 7.5 to 10 grams |
| The full 15-gram pack | A strong dose, and not a starting point for anyone new to this |
Given the threefold concentration range, the sensible practice is to start at the low end of whichever band you are aiming for and learn how a batch behaves before you move up in it. That is more useful advice than any number we could print.
4. Preparation and use
4.1 Getting it right
- Weigh it. A scale that reads to 0.1 g. Fresh sclerotia vary in size and estimating by eye is how people take twice what they meant to.
- Eat lightly beforehand, two or three hours before. A full stomach slows onset and delays it unpredictably; an empty one makes nausea worse.
- Chew thoroughly, or make a tea. Sclerotia are dense and tough. Chewing properly matters for absorption; steeping in hot — not boiling — water for 15 minutes is the alternative if the texture is the problem.
- Wait a full 90 minutes before considering more. Onset is typically 30 to 60 minutes and can be longer. Taking a second dose at the 45-minute mark is the single commonest mistake.
- Clear the day and the evening. Effects generally run four to six hours, with an afterglow beyond that.
4.2 Setting
- A sober sitter, in the room. Not next door, not on the phone — present, sober, and told what you have taken.
- Get down before you start. Sitting or lying. Never standing, never mid-task.
- Strip the room. Nothing burning, nothing breakable, no stairs and no open windows within reach.
- Trip stopper within arm’s reach. The reassurance is worth more than the capsules.
- On its own. No drink, no cannabis, nothing else in the mix.
4.3 Cautions
- 18+ only.
- Avoid entirely during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Avoid entirely if psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder appear in your history or your family’s. Predisposed people can have episodes precipitated by psychedelics, and no dose is low enough to make that safe.
- Do not combine with antidepressants, MAOIs or lithium without medical advice; the lithium combination is associated with seizures and other serious events.
- Do not take it with alcohol, cannabis or anything else.
- Do not drive or operate machinery afterwards.
- Some nausea early on is usual; eat lightly beforehand rather than fasting.
- Keep refrigerated, sealed, and away from children and pets.
A threefold concentration range is not sloppy measurement — it is what a living organism actually does. Start low within a band and learn the batch.
