New super potent truffle

A Dutch company called Shamanic Extracts just sent me an email in which they clam to have "produced" a new highly potent truffle. I am new to mycology but I have read that creating hybrids is very difficult. This company is offering free samples to volunteer testers who buy one of thier other truffles. What do you guys think? Is this just a marketing ploy to get people to buy thier stock of truffles? Has anyone tryed these new truffles?
pasted below is the email that I recieved:
Shamanic Extracts Newsletter: Volunteers wanted for new truffle. Volunteers wanted for new magic truffle.
Our supplier's laboratory has produced a new truffle. We tested it ourselves, and noticed it was a stronger truffle. For more accurate data, we need more feedback. We would like to offer some free samples around for those who are willing to write us a little report on how their experience was. We can use that feedback to provide better information about the new truffles on the website.
We will only send the free samples to people who make an order for truffles from us. That is because we want to give the opportunity to our own customers, and the truffles need to arrive very fast because we would like to have the feedback soon. Please only apply when you are willing to try them within no longer than a week or so.
To apply:
1) Make an order for magic truffles in our shop. Feel free to order any other products, you are in the game as long as you order magic truffles.
2) Put in the comment section of your order: Volunteer new truffle and please tell us in a sentence why you love truffles.
3) We will choose 150 people to send the free samples.
4) We hope that you would want to write us a little story afterwards to tell us how it was.
In the last year we've vacuumsealed our truffles in 10 grams per portion. Other shops mostly sell per 15 grams. Shamanic Extracts magic truffles - philosopher stones are the strongest and the best priced, no matter what fancy truffle names you may find on the web, with dragons and what not.
The classics Atlantis, Tampanensis, Pajaritos and Mexicana now all come in 12 gram portions. Therefor our own home brewed Atlantis will outrrip any truffle from other sources, even if they come in 15 gram bags.
Compared with the 10 gram units we sold before, per unit you will now get 20% more, and the price is 0% more! So thats 20% extra for free!
So in a way nothing changes, and at the same we had to change all the prices and weights on the website.
1 Portion 12 grams fresh = $ 20.00 (€ 15.00) 2 Portions 24 gram fresh = $ 38.00 (€ 28.50) 5 Portions 60 grams fresh = $ 90.00 (€ 67.50) 10 Portions 120 grams fresh = $ 170.00 (€ 127.50) 5 grams dry powder = $ 20.00 (€ 15.00) 10 grams dry powder = $ 38.00 (€ 28.50) 25 grams dry powder = $ 90.00 (€ 67.50) 50 grams dry powder = $ 170.00 (€ 127.50)

Thats a great way to put it leopard man. Chances of being in the 150 = slim to none. If 150 even exist.

If they already know that it's super potent, why do they need to test it? And if they want me to test it, why do I have to pay them? Marketing

The average dose for an ATL is about 15 grams fresh. Three grams difference doesnt seem like it would make it a super potent or even stand out as great. myc

My link points at a poll, but there's a thread referenced from there that goes with it.

Sounds like a good idea for a giveaway.

yo man dont order truffles from Shamanic Extracts there a rip off. Mush-e-mart truffles are potent and the cheapest u can find. i got a email from them saying they have developed a new truffle and were offering them to volunteers for free!!!!! and i just so happen to get a email saying that i was selected to receive 2 free packs ))) so yea if u looking for truffles go to mush-e-mart there truffles are as little as $6 a pack.

wholecelium/mush-e-mart released it first. I managed to be one of the select few people they are sending samples to (from wholecelium. not shamanic extracts). I'll upload and post pics when I receive them.

Yeah. they haven't told me anything about what they are called, so hopefully the package says when I get it. Then I can see just how "new" they are. I haven been doing business with them for a long time now, which is probably why they chose me. And i trust them not to lie to me. So fingers crossed!

If this new 'super potent' truffle turned out to be their new super tampanensis then I would imagine it was as effective as eating bread. I bought so-called super tampanensis from mush e mart and they were totally ineffective. I had to wonder if I'd actually eaten any. I sent the rest back and told them how useless they were. Mush e mart were totally ignorant, they replied once but despite a few emails to them (and I don't do angry emails) they ignored everything. No offer to reimburse or replace, no apology. This is not the behaviour of enlightened people, this is ruthless profiteering from selling rubbish. I would advise anyone to steer clear of them. They were nice enough at first but seem purely profit orientated now.
