Frequently Asked Questions

What does this Magic Mushroom Dosage Calculator do?

This tool helps estimate a safe and effective dose of psilocybin-containing mushrooms or truffles based on your weight, sex, form (dried or fresh), and desired trip intensity (micro, moderate, strong, or heroic). It includes visual feedback via a chart and guidance notes for harm reduction.

What’s the difference between mushrooms and truffles?

Both contain psilocybin, but truffles (sclerotia) are the underground parts of certain mushroom species. Truffles generally have a lower psilocybin concentration than dried mushrooms — the calculator adjusts doses accordingly.

Should I use dried or fresh weight?

You can select either! Dried mushrooms are around 10x more potent by weight than fresh ones because most of the water has been removed. The calculator factors this in automatically when you choose your form.

Why does the calculator ask for weight and sex?

While psilocybin isn’t dosed strictly per kilogram like some medications, body size and biological sex can influence metabolism and intensity. These inputs help slightly fine-tune your recommended range.

What do the intensity levels mean?

Always start lower than you think you need, especially if you're inexperienced.

How accurate is this dosage calculator?

The calculator provides general guidance based on known dosage ranges from experience reports and research. Individual responses vary based on tolerance, mindset, and setting. It’s not a medical tool — always proceed with caution and awareness.

Is this legal to use?

Psilocybin is a controlled substance in many countries. This calculator is provided for educational purposes only. Always follow your local laws and regulations.
