Drying Truffles First Time Success!
    #26478777 - 02/10/20 03:33 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

Since I'm curious about what benefits microdosing can offer, I decided to attempt to dry my most recent order of fresh truffles instead of diving straight into a typical heavy trip which would usually consist of between 15 to 20 grams fresh truffles.

My order of 30 grams fresh truffles arrived. I quite hastily followed the first instructions i could find online. I opted for covering the truffles with a black t shirt and placing them next to a fan heater since sun drying was out of the question during a Scottish Winter.

Initial drying went like this;

3 hours under the fan on hot (however not the hottest setting)

Switched fan to cold. Removed t shirt, exposing the truffles for a further 1 hour to the cold setting


(This was the part I was worried I had done wrong. Most people pre dry for much longer however I didn't have the time)

At this point they were quite rubbery, detecting only a small amount of moisture to the touch. Placed truffles into 3 inch deep, 6 inch wide tupperware box. Emptied some silica packets inside dividing the 2 contents with paper towel. Closed lid with an extra seal of cling film for safety.

To my surprise, 4 days later they appeared cracker dry. Could have been some luck involved considering i was fairly negligent and ignorant about pre drying (factors such as low humidity maybe aided drying process) I took a hammer and carefully broke the larger pieces down before grinding in a coffee grinder for a few minutes, producing an even powder



The numbers/dosing

The truffles had reduced by two thirds in weight from 30 grams to just over 10 grams. I could quite easily create a dosing schedule from the 3:1 ratio (assuming that 1 gram dried powder is equal in potency to 3 grams fresh)

In microdosing terms my schedule looks like;

And remember these are truffles...

300 milligrams 3 times per week for 11 weeks




My first 300 mg dose tonight felt subtle enough to be considered micro. Felt some familiar feelings associated with psilocybin but not considered a come up or body load (I do know what to look for having heavily tripped before)

Obviously the goal here is a steady supply of psilocybin, not enough to even perceive an 'altered state' but to observe changes long term. Are the numbers consistent with anyone else who has dried truffles? I'll update later but I'd welcome feedback or advice from others too. Cheers!

I have been drying them for several years. Make sure they are in smaller pieces and cleaned of growth medium, the rye berries. I set mine on top of o room heater set no higher then 75 degrees. Takes a few days but when done they are totally dry and hard as stone. Then I grind in a coffee grinder and put in capsules. For storage I put in the freezer no lose of potency.
