What Exactly Are Magic Truffles and Paddo’s?
Paddo’s (psilocybe mushrooms) are the above-ground fruiting bodies of the fungus. Magic Truffles (sclerotia) are the underground energy storage of exactly the same fungus. Genetically 100 % identical, but they differ in experience and chemistry.
Psilocybin Content: Which Is Stronger per Gram?
Truffles are sold fresh (85–90 % water) while paddo’s are dried, so you need to eat significantly more grams of truffles to get the same amount of psilocybin.
| Species | Psilocybin % (dry) | Total alkaloids |
|---|---|---|
| Psilocybe cubensis (dried) | 0.63–1.3 % | 0.9–2.0 % |
| Magic Truffles (fresh) | 0.02–0.14 % | 0.04–0.18 % |
