Psilocybe Tampanensis Truffles 15 g

What are Psilocybe Tampanensis truffles?

Psilocybe Tampanensis truffles are fresh sclerotia of 15 g produced by fungi of the Psilocybe genus, cultivated under controlled conditions. Known in mycological literature as The Philosopher's Stone, they are one of the most documented classic varieties within psychedelic mycology. They contain natural compounds like psilocybin and psilocin.

Mycological history and context

Psilocybe tampanensis is an extremely rare species in the wild. The only documented wild specimen was collected in Florida, USA, in 1977 by mycologists Steven Pollock and Gary Menser, in a prairie near Tampa â hence its name.

A year later, in 1978, mycologist Paul Stamets developed the method to cultivate the sclerotia of this species under controlled conditions. All Psilocybe tampanensis cultivated worldwide descends from that unique wild specimen found in Florida.

Its nickname, The Philosopher's Stone, comes from European mycological tradition, where this variety was especially valued for its introspective profile within ethnobotanical literature.
