Experiences - Psilocybe Mexicana and Psilocybe Tampanensis ("Truffles") Trip Reports

[Alfa]

Please share your experiences with psilocybe truffles, tampanensis or mexicana.

My friend took 2gms of dry tampanesnsis long ago in a foreign land. He said that there was more of a body buzz that felt very good. He even stated that this would be a good introduction to the fungal medicine. There were less visuals and the waves were not as intense as with the fruits. A two thumbs up!

2 grams is not much as truffles do not loose so much weight in drying as mushrooms. 5 grams is a proper dose.

A while ago I was bored sitting at home being mildly ill so to pass the time I took 8 grams of mexicana truffles with some juice to supplement the dramine cough syrup I was taking.


The taste was fairly mild, and the effect was equally mild.The visuals were not as strong as the cubensis that I am used to taking, gentle arcs of colour rather then luminescence.And there was none of the streaming movement that I associate with other shrooms.Generally I found the experience to be enjoyable but certainly not what I would call a "trip",more of a pleasant stoned experience.Although this may have been because of my flu-ridden state and taking a larger dose on an empty stomach may intensify the experince


For those interestedin but wary ofpschedelics, truffles would seem to be a good starting point. Especially if taking them in a party/festival environment

I took 25 grams of fresh truffles. I didn´t really like it that much, but one good aspect is that it didn´t make meb as "dumb" as other mushrooms. The hallucinations were very colourful, but the "pulsating" wasn´t there. They also made me a little paranoid, seeing things in the corner of my eye and things like that. On the other side i had a really bad day, so maybe i would enjoy them more today? A friend of mine told me that mixing truffles with ecstacy was very nice, maybe i´ll give it a try! Peace!!

[geordie]

had 5gramms of philosphers (sp?) truffels but it was in conjuction waith a number of other substances although the effect could definatly be felt.
another time i had 10gramms of mexican truffels used with nothing else apart from cannabis. the visiuals were fairly mild but definatly there. there were some side effects such as slight shivering (which i enjoyed) and a dry mouth (which i did not). the main effects lasted about 4-5 hours.

Here are some truffle trips from www.magic-mushrooms.net:

nozza:


I took 15 grams of truffles. I chopped them up fine and put them in heinz tomatoe soup. After simmering them for 15minutes i ate my soup. At first I didn't enjoy it as I felt slightly sick, but after about 20 mins, it wore off. Everything was really psychadelic, e.g things I looked at where distorted in that stereotypical way. I put Bob Marley on the stereo and I started having a psychic debate with the music, kind of like the music repeating my thoughts, and the more I pushed my thoughts, the more intense the visuals got, like in a wave. I smoked some hash, in a joint, and lay down on my bed, my arm started to melt and it was absolutely amazing and hilarious. I have never been able to meditate before, but I was deeply philosophical and my music debate was made more interesting by contemplation of God. I would recommend smoking a joint whilst tripping as it is really cool. has anyone else had a similar experience? I think next time I will increase the dose, although I am a bit aprehensive about the initial sickness

[sunyata]

I did 4g of dried truffles some years ago, the trip was very mild, but very visual and comfortable. I enjoyed it very much and would like to try it again. It reminded me a little bit of Ayahuascha because of the character of the visions(saw a big eagle totem with indians hanging like monkeys from it's feathers) and because it was so steady, none of the ups and downs I usually have in the come up fase.

[Cuberun]

Bought 90 grams fresh in the shops 2 weeks ago of mexicanas. Took 20 grams and had a very strong reaction. Full on visuals everywhere. My friend didn't have as many visuals as I did. I'm not sure why I get such strong reactions on truffles, way stronger than most people describe them. Yes, I've taken regular cubensis as well.
I had an incredibly euphoric and divine experience. The first stage of it was just plain weird, mixed feelings, no euphoria. I didn't really like the first stage, 1-2h. Really took off after 2 hours of ingestion. I realized that God was with me as a source of energy. It wasn't a textbook religious belief. Normally I'm definitely not religious by any means, but when I was hard on the truffles it could see how "it" all worked. That we carry invisible energy sources, souls if you will. When we die we, as pure energy rejoin the mass energy of God. Where we reside in bliss after our trials of life. souls and energy which destroyed and hated life as human beings turn into negative energy which does not combine with God. Negative energy doesn't go to a "hell" so to speak, it just drifts until it evaporates as it can't survive without God's embrace. There were more relevations which caused me to burst into tears and laughter of joy simultaneously. However, the next morning this euphoria was obviously gone and so was my belief in this theory.
Should be noted that this wasn't my first time ingesting truffles, but probably the most intense experience.

Despite good experiences with psychedelics I'm still much more of a stimulants person.

Sorry, can't be bothered with SWIM speech. Last time I tried to I got told to write normally so that creative touch is out the window... Proxies and internet anonymity is enough for me.Edited by: rkard

Good post!

[okcomputer]

i'm new to shroom land and all my trips have been on mexican truffles, mild euphoric philosophical trip (if mized with a little paranoia)


chop em up and make tea and they are mental

[Alfa]

We need more experiences with truffles. Please include dose, onset, peak, duration, physical effects and after effects.

[drugs-bunny]

i did truffels a few times, a few times were good, but they have too
many side effects for me, i almost always get really nauseous, and i
have this really strange feeling in my mouth as if my lips and cheecks
turn into something disgusting, can't really tell u exactly what, but
it always makes me sick. appart from these side-effects, truffels are
really great, the hallucinations are pretty intense: walls breathing,
everything's moving and morphing. its not so much patterns and textures
like with copelandia for example.

dose: 15 g. fresh or 5 g. dried



onset: for me, it usually starts when i finish my box, +- 15 min.



peak: 2-3 hours



duration: 6-8 hours



after effects: for me and a lot of my friends we usually get nauseous at the end of the trip.



i'm not going to do these mushrooms again, because the side effects are
not worth it (for me), but besides those side effects truffels can give
a REALLY great trip, they also tend to cause some pretty good euphoria,
and suddenly EVERYTHING and nothing seems to be funny.



hope this helps

[thegod1]

I had8 grams of philosophers, mixed them in a hot chocolate and drunk/ate them.

It was my first experience with them so I wasn't sure what to expect, or even if they would work. I waited 30 minutes, and after thinking nothingwas gonna happen, I started giggling. 10-15 minutes after that I noticed brighter colours, and deeper thinking/thoughts. There wasn't many visuals, walls were breathing but that was about it. The Peak was about 2 hours into the trip, everything was making me laugh, the thought of staring at the wall watching it move seemed like the most funny thing I've ever seen. This lasted 4-5 hours, after that I just felt tired and went to bed. I didn't experience no after effects the next day, I was just amazed and glad I used them.

i got one special mushroom trip i want to add. (btw - it's not truffles - this was on regular mexicans - but i didn't find a 'sticky-thread' to add it)

it was with my girlfriend - last year at the end of june. we hitchiked from belgium to the Perynees (sp) ...those mountains between france and spain. we wanted to see the milkyway from a better spot than a fully lighted city ... the mindset was just perfect. everything was flowing and we had alot of fun. it was going to be our first trip together - so in a way i did have a little bit of fear - i trusted it, but you know, a little fear ... you never know what your going to find inside - or better, what thoughts will prevent from going inside ... ... we arrived in the mountains late in the afternoon - put up the tent and went walking. The spot was like a lord of the rings scene ... totally in solitude ... lot's of waving hills with grass and trees spread arround - big stones scatterd - and a small waterfall only 30 meters away ... and this all at the foot of a big mountain. the next day the sun was bursting energy - we hung arround laying in the grass - we ate at morning but only drank water the rest of the day. than arround 8 at night we each ate dried mexicanas ... it was 40 grams fresh when bought ... dunno how much it was at that point. we took a little walk up the mountain ... looking arround - gathering nice stones. than when the onset began after 15 minutes, we went back down the mountain, to sit on a big stone. we jawned and looked arround and decided to get out our sleeping bags out of the tent and lay down on a hill, waiting for the sun to go down and the stars to appear. the whole sky was like - being painted at the moment - it was totally in visual distortion - sometimes when i blinked my eyes it changed colors but after some seconds regained it's bleu withish paint taint again ... i was looking arround facinated - but after 30 minutes i cuddled up close to my girlfriend and closed my eyes. we didn't talk, i never do while tripping - but my gf would sometimes say something like - waow or bieautifull ... i was watching my closed eyes visuals and getting whipped by the little mushrooms ... i enjoy a good whipping from time to time .. this one was expressed very visual ... i saw zig zag lines changing collors and transforming - little caleidoscopic mushrooms would grow and fade away in the corners of my soul ... and every time i tried to think about it, the whole scenery just JAMMED - like someone pulled the brake and stopped a big machine - the visuals would come to a mindcrushing stop ... than the thought would vaporise and the visuals would go on with their teaching. i also experienced something i never did before. i heared african drums playing as a audio hallucination. in the deep i could hear the rithms playing ... or maybe their was some djembe class practising, but i doubt it ... . than after 2 - 3 hours of silence and closed eyes, my girlfriend pushed me and said - look - look up into the sky ... i turned my head and opened my eyes - and yes, the stars - amazing!! ... all dancing and - and, yeah, what were they doing - it looked like they were enjoying themsekves, and i too ... than at + - the 4'th hour after ingestion we went to our tent - and smoked a big spliff ... i did go out for a piss later that night - i looked up the sky and became aware of the milkyway - shining bright above our heads ... i breathed in and out ... thanked the universe and went off to dreamland - this mission was a succes! ... .

Never underestimate the strength.

Swim had one piece of dried shroom once, "truffel", whatever it may have been. It was bought legally (or at least tolerated) across the border.
I tried a little bit. It was the size of an average marble.

He didn't feel anything in the first three hours. He gave up and went to bed. He couldn't sleep. Suddenly he was clear awake. Swim saw South-East Asian gods in distortion vision.

That was a first and only time so far. However, it's was so impressive swim stil brings it up on every occasion he can.

[psychedelaholic]

My first ever mushroom trip, 15g psilcoybe tampanensis:

Last summer I went to Amsterdam for the first time and decided to do some shrooms on the 2nd day. I waked and baked with some Lavender Skunk then took some LSA containing pills, they made me a bit spaced out nothing that great though. Then at around 4pm I ate 15g of freshish Psilocybe Tampanensis.

We were sitting in the park outside the Van Gogh museum about 30mins from our hostel. The shrooms tasted absolutely horrible sort of metalicy bile acidy type taste. About 30mins later I notice that the grass is started to dip and rise gently and ripple everynow and then. Another 30mins passes and we decide to make our way back on the trams. I am feeling pretty disorientated and peoples faces are starting to scare me. One of my friends starts looking increasingly devil like whereas other peoples' faces start bulgin and distorting. The tram ride was pretty intense and when we got off I had no idea where the hell we were.

I was being lead everywhere by my mates sister and according to her my walking would speed up then slow right down randomly. The paving stones start curving away from me and I start randomly laughing at stuff. We made our way up to our room which is at the top of about 60 stairs so that took me quite a while and it looks more like a spiral than a staircase. I layed down in my bed and started melting into it my hand then merged with a nearby wooden box and I laid there for what seemed like an eternity before I went over to sit with my mates sister on her bed. She then repeatedly tried to spoon me out which she succeeded in doing really easily. She handed me a tomato which swelled up and started glowing with a dim red puslating light. She kept handing me magazines and other random things which all managed to freak me out. After my friends got bored of trying to scare me we left and went to our local coffe shop. As we were leaving the room I noticed the light bulb was the size of a beach ball and laughed to myself.

When we got to the coffee shop (route 66) I was tripping very hard. I was staring at a huge round light in the ceiling which was descending on our table about to swallow us up whilst the table was floating and spinning with random objects on fire. This was incrediblely beautiful. It was only interupeted when I thought it was pouring down with rain outside which is wasn't at all it was actually really hot and sunny. Then all of a sudden something changed, maybe a change in music which brought it on, but I started feeling really bad. Emotionally not physically. I felt very depressed and as if everyone hated me. Fortunately this passed and all was well in about 30mins, but in this period I experienced no visuals, the light had receeded and the table was no longing flying about. They soon returned tho. The music really affected my trip, if the song was very repetitive I kept experiencing the same conversations and time seemed to be looping. When fast songs came on I couldn;t look at anything for more than half a second before my eyes quickly switched to something else. I smoked a few joints then we left back to the hostel with me still completely out of this world.

Upon returning to the hostel I notice my hands are melting together and things keep grabbing my legs, I shrug this off and have another few joints (I think it was skuff hash that we were smoking, very strong stuff). I then played pool for a bit until my vision became obscurred by a load of multicoloured patterns covering everything. Shortly after this I went to bed and felt perfectly fine in the morning.

Very interesting reports.I know of someone who has 30 grams(fresh) of Tampanensis in his fridge.This individual is going to have some with a friend of his next week.The plan is to chop up about 7 grams each and take them in tea, and then, if all is going well take the remainder on the hour mark.

[MadShroomer]

SWIM had ordered some P.Tampanesis and later P.Mexicana before the ban on fresh shrooms in the UK.
P.Tampanesis is a lot less "sparkly" with fewer "lazer light" visuals compared to P.Mexicana which was more like MDA in SWIM's opinion. The P.Tampanesis were more "move'n wavey" type visuals and a very Mellow body buzz. The taste in SWIM's mind was like a tangy nut, crunchy with a slightly sour taste (mmm tangy :P ) so yeah DEFINATELY worth the 3 month growing time :P More potent than P.Cubensis and a nice twist on the regular mushroom buzz

[Evanr]

i took 10 grams of fresh truffles yesterday (they are legal here).

at first it felt kind of like weed but much more 'comfortable', for the first 1.5 hrs everything just seemed to fit, i was giggling but still only some very slight hallucinations.

after 2hrs i started to get very nice hallucinations, i was in a bar playing with a cigerette and if i spinned it one way then red/blue/green/white streams of light shot out from it, it was amazing. i played with that same cigerette for at least 30min.

i then closed my eyes and saw lots of red/blue/green/white dots all pouring into the word 'love', which was written in a kinda 60's hippy font. and the word love stayed in my mind for around 10min.

towards the end everything started to feel like everything was as it should be. i was tripping with some friends of mine that i used to feel kinda awkward around, but after this trip i've really been able to be around them and feel 'natural' with them.

when then went to this park at around 23:00 to buy weed, i thought that the trip was over but when i looked at the trees in the park i saw heads/faces in them and i saw everthing they were doing.

overall i would say this trip has changed me for the better and i think my trip was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen.

[PitfromGreece]

I put this also in a thread with the title, First timer, trips with shrooms and picking up a girl.

English is not my native language, nevertheless I am going to try to describe SWIM's experience in a way that makes sense.

SWIM ordered 4gr dried P. Tampanensis "truffles" from an on line reputable vendor in Amsterdam. SWIM gave a fake name, but the correct address (mailman leaves mail in plain site in SWIM's building) - there was not a return address either. SWIM got his order after 4 days since he placed it.

This was the first time SWIM was trying shrooms and he thought tampanensis was a good choice, less visuals, low anxiety happy trip from what SWIM had read.

SWIM put some hot organic green tea with spices and put the "truffles" - (sclerotia in reality) in the tea.SWIM started reading a psychology personality book, because he was thinking to make some self understanding work with the tampanensis shroom as supposedly this specific strain gives a lot of psychological insight. SWIM drunk the tea and worked the tampanensis sclerotia in his mouth, the taste had an OK nutty flavor, but a bad metallic after taste. SWIM got some effects 5 minutes later, SWIM read today that some of psilocybin is being absorbed through the mouth, probably that is why he had such quick but very mild results.

SWIM continue reading the book, but got bored after about 45 minutes, he wanted to talk to someone and tried calling his cousin to continue a discussion about psychedelics, but his cousin had turned his phone off.

The effects kicked in after about an hour, I am going to try to describe them the best way according to what SWIM told me. There was a "fuzzy" feeling in the head and some load, SWIM told me he reminded him the times that tried SSRI like lexapro - with no recreational value. Psilocybin is a seretonin agonist so maybe that is why it had a similar effect to SWIM like seretonergic antidepressants. There was somewhat detachment from feelings and thought processes, SWIM could feel a little distant from his ideas and feelings, but what it was really impressive was SWIM would think something and then from this specific thought process would make a generalization of how that part of cognition worked in general, SWIM got some kind of insight of how the brain works doing hash, but in much lower degree. SWIM was hungry and thought to go out eat something and mingle with people.
????: Drugs Forum http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78409

SWIM went out and noticed how colors where little brighter than usual, there was not distortions of any other kind. SWIM also felt a little dizzy and very little awkward moving. SWIM went in some fast food and ordered couple burgers fries and ice tea, he was a little anxious that would confuse his words, but everything went fine. Although SWIM was a little anxious from being stoned first time with shrooms in public somehow the detachment from shrooms and an increased self control he got after consuming them made any anxious feelings all right.

SWIM was getting more insights of how his brain worked as he was eating his burger, appetite was as usual no difference from the taste of the food either. SWIM at a point snapped out from his internal states and noticed how interesting was to look at people, their body movements, facial expressions all seemed significant of how they were feeling inside.

SWIM thought was very interesting to look at people and at the way home he took the subway and looking even closely body language, clothing and expressions of people. SWIM is usually not very well socially calibrated and he was astounded of how every little move can mean something for peoples internal states. SWIM noticed a nice looking girl and started staring at her face, the girl noticed SWIM and got a little expression (a second) like she was flattered, but her next expression seemed anxious and self aware and closed her body language. SWIM did not understand why she seemed so anxious when he realized that he must stared for quite a while and started smiling to himself. All this seemed pretty interesting and SWIM did not to leave from the subway going from one station to another just looking at people.

In the terminal stop SWIM went out of the train and was waiting for the next train to return back. A nice looking girl shut next to SWIM reading a math book. SWIM was nice dressed, he is not bad looking and from a glance from the girl, playing with her hair and with the help of the shrooms reading social signals he was pretty sure she wanted to talk with him. SWIM asked if the book was for high school or a university class, she said that it was for a class in university as she was a major in economics. The girl seemed interested, but she was not initiating conversation, and SWIM continue asking questions as mushrooms seemed to make him detached from any anxiety whatsoever talking to a nice looking girl and talkative at the same time. SWIM read how it is difficult to talk while on shrooms and this was true up to a point, SWIM probably did not make the best impression of how articulate he was, but started saying some things that the female found interesting and they had a discussion for the next 5 minutes. SWIM somehow was more than usual sure that the girl was interested talking with SWIM again and asked for her number just before he had to leave the train to go home she gladly gave her number and I am curious to see how this will go for SWIM.

Reading this again SWIM do not appear being very intoxicated, but he was surely intoxicated.

SWIM took some philosophers stones for his first ever trip a long time ago. This was a good introduction. Not too overwhelming. Taste a lot better than shrooms. Mild visuals and deeply thoughtful trip.
