Are you looking for more focus at work, extra creativity for complex projects, or simply a more positive mood?
More and more people are using truffle microdosing as a tool for personal growth and clearer thinking. When microdosing, you take a very small, safe amount of truffles. The dose is so low that you won't experience a trip, but rather perform better in your daily tasks. Users report experiencing practical benefits such as more energy, increased problem-solving skills, and better concentration.
What is magic truffle microdosing?
Microdosing is the structural intake of a very small amount of psilocybin-containing truffles according to a fixed routine. This dose is so low, usually around 5 to 10 percent of a regular dose, that it stays below the sub-perceptual threshold. This means that no strong psychedelic effects, visual changes, distortions, or hallucinations occur. The goal is a mild effect where you continue to function completely normally in your daily activities such as working, studying, or exercising.
Why Microdosing?
People choose microdosing to stimulate subtle, positive changes in their daily functioning without losing control. While a regular dose of psychedelics causes an intense trip, microdosing stays strictly below the sub-perceptual threshold. This means you do not consciously "feel" the effects as a high, but rather they work in the background during your work or studies.
How does psilocybin work in the body?
Truffles naturally contain the substance psilocybin, which is directly converted into the active substance psilocin by the human body after ingestion. Psilocin then temporarily binds to specific serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor. Serotonin is an essential neurotransmitter that plays a direct role in mood, perception, and cognitive processes. With a microdose, this mild effect typically builds up within 30 to 60 minutes, after which the effect naturally wears off after a few hours.
What can you expect from a microdose?
The actual effects of truffle microdosing are consistently described by users as subtle. Since there are no hallucinations or visual distortions, you can expect the following mild effects:
- Improved focus: Clearer thinking and increased problem-solving abilities.
- Increased creativity: A different way of reflecting and more open-mindedness.
- Positive mood: A mild shift towards more relaxation and living more in the 'now'.
- Awareness: An increased mindfulness of your own thoughts, making you less easily distracted.
It is important to emphasize that every body reacts differently, depending on sensitivity, mindset, and dosage. Not everyone notices an immediate change; for some users, it takes a few weeks before they notice these subtle effects. We recommend carefully tracking your daily experience, energy, and mood in a notebook or an app.
How do you use microdosing truffles?
The most effective and globally accepted routine is the Fadiman protocol, combined with taking the dose early in the morning. At Novus Fumus, we offer ready-to-use blister packs for this, or the necessary tools to determine the dose yourself down to the milligram.
When should you take a microdose: Morning or evening?
The general guideline is to always take a microdose of truffles in the morning. Because psilocybin affects your neurotransmitters, it can cause a slight increase in energy or alertness. Taking a dose late in the day can disrupt your natural sleep rhythm. Ideally, take the dose at a fixed time during or after breakfast to create a stable daily routine.
Schedule
To prevent your body from building a tolerance to psilocybin, daily use is not recommended. The most commonly used schedule was developed by Dr. James Fadiman and consists of a fixed three-day routine:
- Day 1 (Dosing day): You take your exact microdose in the morning.
- Day 2 (Transition day): You do not take a dose, but observe any mild after-effects.
- Day 3 (Rest day): You do not take a dose and experience a normal day of rest.
- Day 4: You start the cycle again and take another microdose.
You follow this schedule for a maximum consecutive period of one to two months, after which you take a mandatory tolerance break of two to four weeks.
Dosage
To follow this schedule flawlessly, Novus Fumus offers two practical solutions, depending on your need for control and convenience. For beginners, the pre-dosed packaging (6 x 1 gram) is the easiest choice. These fresh truffles are packed in a special blister pack. Just like a strip of pills, you simply pop out 1 portion of exactly 1 gram on the dosing day and take it directly.
However, some users notice that 1 gram is slightly too strong for them. In that case, you can choose a larger package (for example, 10 grams of fresh truffles) in combination with a precision scale. With this scale, you can easily halve the truffle and accurately weigh smaller amounts, such as 0.5 or 0.7 grams. By weighing accurately and possibly using empty capsules, you will find the exact dosage that perfectly suits your body.
Are there any risks or side effects?
When used according to the recommended low dosage, the chance of unpleasant side effects is small. However, long-term and frequent use without breaks carries potential risks. There are suspicions that continuous use may cause heart issues; scheduling a so-called "tolerance break" (a rest period of one to two weeks) reduces these risks.
Furthermore, truffle microdosing is strongly discouraged for individuals with existing psychological conditions. It can worsen symptoms such as anxiety, paranoia, or manic phases in bipolar disorders. Additionally, these products are exclusively intended for adults (18+) and are not suitable for pregnant women. Never combine a microdose with alcohol or other substances, and always keep the products out of reach of children.
Is truffle microdosing addictive?
Psilocybin-containing truffles or microdosing mushrooms are not physically or mentally addictive. Your body quickly builds up a tolerance, which actually reduces the urge for more. However, it is crucial to remain vigilant regarding psychological dependence: avoid the mindset that you can only function well, work, or focus if you have taken a microdose. That is exactly why experts advise always taking a longer rest period after a cycle of a maximum of two months.
Storage advice
To maintain the quality and freshness, you should store the truffles refrigerated immediately upon receipt at an ideal storage temperature between 4 and 8 degrees Celsius.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the dose feels too strong?
Should a dose unexpectedly feel stronger than intended, stay seated, breathe calmly, and try to relax. The effects of a microdose are mild and will completely subside on their own after a few hours.
Which type of truffle is most commonly used for truffle microdosing?
For microdosing, it is best to use Mexicana magic truffles. The great advantage of this strain is that the effects are less visual compared to stronger variants. This is an absolute must with microdosing, as you want to experience the subtle benefits, but not the burdens of a trip. Besides Mexicana, Atlantis truffles or Tampanensis (Philosopher's Stones) are also very suitable, mild options for successful truffle microdosing.
What exactly are Magic Truffles?
Magic truffles, officially called 'sclerotia', are a type of hardened, underground reserve of mycelium (the root network of a mushroom). The fungus stores nutrients and moisture here to survive periods of drought. Like magic mushrooms, they contain the psychoactive substance psilocybin, but they continue to grow underground, which is why they are classified differently by law.
Which schedule (protocol) is best to follow?
When microdosing, it is essential to include rest days. So you don't take the truffles every day. These are the two most well-known schedules:
- The Fadiman protocol: You take a dose for 1 day, followed by 2 rest days. (For example: dose on Monday, rest on Tuesday and Wednesday, dose again on Thursday).
- The Stamets protocol: You dose for 4 consecutive days, followed by 3 rest days.
For beginners, the Fadiman protocol is often recommended, because you can closely observe the after-effects (the afterglow) on the rest days.
Is microdosing addictive?
No, microdosing with truffles (psilocybin) is neither physically nor mentally addictive. On the contrary, the human body builds up a natural tolerance to psilocybin very quickly.
Can I combine microdosing with alcohol?
It is strongly advised not to drink alcohol on the days you microdose. Alcohol numbs and can disrupt or completely negate the subtle, clear effects of the truffle. Furthermore, microdosing is often aimed at more focus, awareness, or creativity - goals that directly contradict the effects of alcohol.
How do I store fresh truffles?
Fresh truffles should always be stored in the refrigerator, ideally at a temperature between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius.
- Unopened: In the vacuum packaging, they can often be kept for up to 2 months (check the date on the packaging).
- Opened: As soon as the packaging is opened, the shelf life decreases rapidly. It is then advisable to consume them within a few days.
