Dosage Guide
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for determining what dosage to begin with when it comes to magic mushrooms. However, we recommend starting slowly and gradually, as this allows you to truly understand how the experience affects you at various levels and gradually increase your dosage over time.
Microdose
0.10 – 0.20 grams
Low Dose

Dosage Recommendation
Microdosing refers to the practice of taking very small, “sub-perceptual” amounts of a psychedelic substance. In other words, you don’t feel the dose, or it’s very mild if you do. In the context of psilocybin mushrooms, a microdose is typically around 0.1 to 0.3 grams of regular Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms.
Low doses typically range from about 0.5 to 1 gram of regular Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, which equates to approximately 0.25 to 0.5 grams of Penis Envy mushrooms due to their higher psilocybin content. At this dose, users may begin to feel a noticeable yet still manageable intensity of psilocybin’s effects without full-blown psychedelic experiences.
Therapeutic or moderate doses usually fall between 1 and 3 grams of regular Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. These doses are typically used in a therapeutic context, often with professional guidance, leading to deeper, more profound psychological experiences.
A high or macrodose typically ranges from 3 to 5 grams of regular Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. These doses can lead to profound psychedelic experiences, often referred to as “trips.” These experiences vary greatly, including altered perceptions, feelings of unity or interconnectedness, mystical experiences, and significant emotional shifts.
Introduction to Trip Levels
Trip Level 0: Microdose
– Recommended dose: .2-.05g dried mushrooms
– Take a break every 2-3 days to boost creativity or feel less anxious. It doesn’t cause you to trip, and it can be taken along with your day-to-day routine.
Trip Level 1: Relaxed Euphoria
– Recommended dose: .8-1.0g dried mushrooms
– The effects are mild, similar to marijuana. Music sounds better, and people seem more friendly. The mind can lose some control. Some mild visual enhancements may occur, but they will be subtle.
Trip Level 2: Beginner’s Bliss
– Recommended dose: 1.0g-1.5g dried mushrooms
– Colors become brighter, and a light body high is experienced. Be prepared for the beginnings of visual and auditory hallucinations. You will experience an increase in creativity and sensation, along with lightness and euphoria.
Trip Level 3: Classic Trip
– Recommended dose: 1.5g-3.0g dried mushrooms
– Great for beginners who want to experience a ”real” psychedelic trip without overdoing it. This is the level at which real visuals will become apparent. Perception will be altered, and senses may be confused.
Trip Level 4: High Flying
– Recommended dose: 3.0g-4.0g dried mushrooms
– Strong hallucinations. Destruction, or splitting of the ego, may occur. May lose touch with reality. Time becomes meaningless. Some experience out-of-body and life-altering trips at this level. Only recommended for experienced users.
Trip Level 5: Total Loss
– Recommended dose: 4.0g-5.0g dried mushrooms
– Total loss of visual connection with reality. Great distortion of the perception of space and time. Great introspection and total loss of ego. Emotional and personal experiences that are impossible to describe! Only for very experienced users who are mentally prepared for the experience.
