A magic truffle refers to the sclerotia of the psilocybin mushroom. The magic mushroom contains a wide variety of hallucinogenic chemicals, including psilocin and psilocybin. Typically, people eat the magic truffle raw, and its effects begin within 15 minutes. Usually, by 60 minutes, people start to feel psychoactive effects. If the magic truffles are made into a tea, the effects can start more quickly. Often, people describe sounds running into each other, a relaxed feeling, and a state of euphoria. Color has become more intense, and objects begin to wave back and forth. Typically, the effects last approximately 6 hours, but it can take as long as 16 hours for someone to completely return to normal. The exact length and timing of the effects depend on how much someone has taken and what their tolerance level is like.
