 Truffles in comparison to Shrooms

I understand that both of these products have the same active ingredient in them.
I've wanted to experience a mushroom trip for a while now but after ages of not being able to find them I think I may settle for some of the Magic Truffles.
Does anybody have any experience with these? And if so, how do they compare to Magic Mushrooms?

I'm trying to decide on getting some P. Hollandia truffles or just waiting maybe a year or so and getting Shrooms.
But if there's really not that much difference I might as well get Truffle, right?

The magic truffles will give a trip that is very similar to shrooms, in fact after trying both I couldn't say for sure that there is any difference at all.
Just be aware that the dosage weights for magic truffles (sclerotia) are different than for shrooms. A rough comparison is that 5g fresh truffles (they are normally sold fresh, not dried) = 1g dried cubes.
Search for "magic truffles" or "sclerotia" for more threads on the subject.

I wrote that, but I meant something else

Magic truffles appear to contain only psilocybin, whereas magic mushrooms contain both psilocybin and psilocin (among a few other alkaloids). So there's at least a subtle difference between the two.
The study below also shows that 1 gram of fresh magic truffles contains roughly between 0.6 and 1.7mg of psilocybin, depending on the species. Truffles are most commonly sold fresh at 15g per package, which would yield a total psilocybin dose of 9 to 25.5mg (the latter being quite a stiff dose).

Magic truffles or Philosopher's stones: a legal way to sell psilocybin?
Pellegrini M, Rotolo MC, Marchei E, Pacifici R, Saggio F, Pichini S.
Abstract
"Magic mushrooms" is the most common name given to hallucinogenic fungi containing the psychoactive alkaloids psilocybin and psilocin. In recent years, fungis' sclerotia, commonly called "magic truffles" have become a form of supply of psychoactive Psilocybe alkaloids since Psilocybe sclerotia are not specifically included in the laws banning the sale, the purchase and the use of such substances and mushrooms containing them. A liquid chromatography -tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the rapid determination of psilocybin and psilocin in Psilocybe sclerotia. Following a simple step extraction with methanol, the alkaloids were separated on a reversed-phase column using a gradient of 0.1% formic acid - acetonitrile s a mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min.. Separated analytes were detected by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in the positive ion mode using multiple reaction monitoring. The developed method was linear over the calibration range for all two substances under investigation, with a r(2) > 0.99. The detection and quantification limits were 0.3 µg and 1 µg per 100 mg truffles, for both psilocin and psilocybin and the intra- and inter-day coefficients of variation were always better than 15%. Using this method, the presence of only psilocybin was demonstrated in examined Psilocybe sclerotia. The content of psilocybin was found to vary over a concentration range of 59.3 to 167.8 µg per 100 mg of fresh sclerotia.

This has been my experience as well. Once you get them in your body, they are pretty damn similar in effect.

I haven't tried them yet but they seem pretty interesting. I've had my failures from online vendors so I may just look into growing my own if possible
