Magic truffles
by Azarius
Mokum magic truffles are a medium-strength psilocybin sclerotia that deliver rich sensory enhancement, easy laughter, and a warm body awareness without tipping you into overwhelming territory. Named after the old Yiddish nickname Amsterdam locals still use for their city — meaning "safe place" — these truffles capture something genuine about the character of the place they come from. Grown at the Azarius Fungi Farm, each 15-gram vacuum-sealed pack contains up to 1.0 mg psilocybin and up to 0.1 mg psilocin per gram of fresh truffle. If you want to buy a truffle that balances sensory richness with social ease, Mokum is the one most people come back for.
Mokum magic truffles stand out because they balance visual enhancement, body warmth, social ease, and gentle introspection in roughly equal measure — no single aspect dominates the session. It is not the gentlest option we carry — that would be Mexicana — and it is nowhere near the intensity of Valhalla or Utopia. We have been selling truffles from behind the counter since 1999, and Mokum is the one people come back for when they want something reliably enjoyable rather than a deep-dive into the unknown.
The character of the experience leans sensory and social. Colours look richer — like someone turned the saturation dial up a few notches. Music picks up texture and depth. Conversations feel more connected. Your body hums with a kind of warm, full-spectrum awareness that many people describe as profoundly pleasurable. The Beckley Foundation has noted psilocybin's capacity to modulate sensory processing via 5-HT2A serotonin receptor agonism, and Mokum truffles offer a beautifully tangible illustration of that mechanism in action.
The honest limitation? If you are looking for a deeply philosophical, ego-dissolving session, Mokum probably is not the right pick. It is warm and wide rather than deep and confrontational. For that kind of work, look at Hollandia or Utopia instead. Mokum is the truffle you choose when you want to enjoy yourself — properly, vividly, with your senses fully switched on.
The recommended starting dose for Mokum magic truffles is 5 g for beginners, 10 g for a solid medium session, and the full 15 g pack for strong sensory immersion. The taste is earthy, slightly nutty, with a sour tang that is typical of fresh sclerotia — not the most pleasant flavour in the world, but manageable. Chew thoroughly for faster onset, or wash them down with ginger tea if the taste bothers you.
| Dose | Weight | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| Light | 5 g | Gentle mood lift, enhanced colours, mild body warmth. Good starting point if you are new to psilocybin. |
| Medium | 10 g | Noticeable visual enhancement, rich sensory experience, easy laughter, warm body awareness. The Mokum sweet spot for most people. |
| Full | 15 g (whole pack) | Strong sensory immersion, possible mild visual patterns, deep emotional warmth, introspective moments alongside social ease. |
Onset typically arrives within 30 to 45 minutes on an empty stomach. We get asked "is it working yet?" at least twice a week in the shop. The answer is nearly always: wait. Redosing before the 90-minute mark is how people end up with more than they bargained for. The full experience lasts around 4 to 6 hours, with a gentle come-down that rarely leaves you feeling drained.
Mokum magic truffles contain up to 1.0 mg psilocybin and up to 0.1 mg psilocin per gram of fresh weight, packaged in a 15 g vacuum-sealed portion grown at the Azarius Fungi Farm in the Netherlands.

Mokum is the most reordered medium-strength truffle in our Amsterdam shop, and after 25-plus years of handing truffles across the counter, you start to see patterns in who reaches for it. Mokum draws a particular crowd: people who have maybe tried a lighter variety before and want to step up without jumping to the strong stuff, couples looking for a shared sensory evening, small groups of friends who want to laugh and talk and listen to music rather than disappear into their own heads. It is also the truffle we most often recommend to visitors who walk into the Amsterdam shop and say, "I want something that feels like this city." Warm, a bit irreverent, easy to be around.
One regular — a musician who comes in every few months — told us Mokum is the only truffle he uses before playing guitar at home because it makes every note feel three-dimensional without pulling him so deep that he forgets what his fingers are doing. That sums up the Mokum character better than any spec sheet could.
The one thing we always mention: set and setting matter as much as the dose. A comfortable space, good company (or comfortable solitude), a playlist you actually like, and an empty-ish stomach. These basics make more difference than the specific truffle variety you pick. Mokum rewards you for getting the basics right — it amplifies what is already good about the moment.
Mokum magic truffles rank as medium strength in the Azarius range, sitting above Mexicana and below Hollandia and Utopia in both intensity and introspective depth. Here is how they compare to the varieties people most often weigh them against:
| Variety | Strength | Character | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mexicana | Mild | Giggly, light, social | First-timers, gentle introduction |
| Mokum | Medium | Warm, sensory, balanced | Sensory richness, social sessions, second-timers stepping up |
| Hollandia | Strong | Deep, visual, introspective | Experienced users, deeper inner work |
| Utopia | Very strong | Intense, visionary, philosophical | Seasoned psychonauts, strong sessions |
If you are choosing between Mokum and Mexicana: Mokum gives you noticeably more depth and sensory richness. The step up is real but not dramatic. If you enjoyed Mexicana and wanted "more of that, but fuller," Mokum is the natural next move. If you are torn between Mokum and Hollandia, ask yourself whether you want to enjoy the world around you (Mokum) or go inward (Hollandia). Different tools for different intentions.
Pair your Mokum truffles with a Magic Truffle Grinder to break the sclerotia into smaller pieces for easier consumption and faster onset. If you want a safety net on hand, Psyche Stop can help take the edge off if things get more intense than expected. You can also get a Trip Stopper as a backup for extra peace of mind.
Eat Mokum magic truffles on an empty stomach, chew them thoroughly, and allow 30 to 45 minutes for onset before considering any additional dose. Here is the full step-by-step:
Mokum truffles stay potent for up to 2 months when kept refrigerated at 2-4 °C with the vacuum seal intact. They arrive fresh from the Azarius Fungi Farm. Once you break the seal, consume within 48 hours. Never freeze fresh truffles — ice crystals damage the cell structure and can reduce potency. If you notice a slight white fuzz on the surface, that is normal mycelium growth, not mould. A sour or off smell, on the other hand, means the truffles have turned — do not eat them.
Medium strength — noticeably more intense than Mexicana, but well below Hollandia or Utopia. Mokum truffles contain up to 1.0 mg psilocybin per gram, which places them squarely in the middle of the Azarius range. A 10 g dose gives most people a rich, manageable session.
Around 4 to 6 hours from onset to baseline, with the peak typically occurring between hours 1.5 and 3. The come-down is gradual and rarely unpleasant. Plan for a full evening or afternoon with nothing urgent afterwards.
You can, but it will delay onset by 30 to 60 minutes and soften the effects. An empty or near-empty stomach gives the cleanest, most reliable experience. A light snack 2 to 3 hours before is fine.
Both contain psilocybin and psilocin. Truffles are sclerotia — compact underground nodules of the same Psilocybe mycelium that produces mushrooms above ground. The active compounds are identical; the main difference is form factor and growing method. Truffles tend to have a more consistent potency because they are grown under controlled conditions.
Yes, at the 5 g dose. That gives you a gentle introduction with enhanced colours, mild warmth, and a mood lift without anything overwhelming. If you want something even lighter for a true first time, Mexicana is the gentlest variety we carry.
Refrigerate at 2-4 °C, keep the vacuum seal intact, and consume before the expiry date on the pack. Once opened, eat within 48 hours. Never freeze fresh truffles.
Technically yes — a microdose would be around 0.5 to 1.0 g of fresh truffle. But Mokum is sold in a 15 g fresh pack optimised for full-dose use. If microdosing is your primary goal, we carry dedicated microdosing packs that are pre-portioned and more practical.
They taste earthy, slightly nutty, and sour — typical of fresh sclerotia. Not delicious, but not terrible either. Chew them with a bit of dark chocolate or wash them down with ginger tea. A truffle grinder helps break them into smaller pieces that are easier to swallow.
You can order Mokum magic truffles directly from the Azarius webshop for delivery across the Netherlands, or buy them in person at our Amsterdam store. Each pack ships vacuum-sealed and fresh from the Azarius Fungi Farm.
