Psilocybe tampanensis
Description
Psilocybe tampanensis, also known as the “Philosopher’s Stone” or “Magic Truffle,” is a species of psychedelic mushroom that belongs to the genus Psilocybe.
However, it is important to note that wild populations of this species are relatively rare and localized. Due to its limited distribution, cultivation has become a more common method of obtaining Psilocybe tampanensis.
The legal status of Psilocybe tampanensis and other psilocybin-containing mushrooms varies across different jurisdictions. In many countries, these mushrooms are classified as illegal substances due to their hallucinogenic properties. However, in some regions, there is a growing movement advocating for the decriminalization or regulated medical use of psilocybin.
Nearly two decades after its discovery, Psilocybe tampanensis was only known from the type locality southeast of Brandon, Florida. Like all Psilocybe species, it is saprobic. Psilocybe tampanensis is native to subtropical regions and can be found in grassy meadows, pastures, and sometimes in woodlands.
Like other psychoactive grassland species such as Psilocybe semilanceata, Conocybe cyanopus, P. tampanensis can form sclerotia, a hardened mass of mycelium that is more resistant to adverse environmental conditions than normal mycelium. This form of truffle offers the fungus some protection from forest fires and other natural disasters. Sclerotia are also produced when the species is grown in culture. Sclerotia can be grown on ryegrass (Lolium) substrate and on straw. Sclerotia prepared in this way take 3 to 12 weeks to develop.
Properties
Containing the psychedelic compounds psilocin and psilocybin, Psilocybe tampanensis is consumed for recreational and entheogenic purposes. A 2000 report found the species to be one of the most popular psychoactive mushrooms seized by German authorities, after Psilocybe cubensis, Psilocybe semilanceata, and Panaeolus cyanescens. Alkaloid levels in the seized samples ranged from undetectable to 0.19% psilocybin and 0.01% to 0.03% psilocin.
Psychoactive compounds are also present in the sclerotia: in one analysis, psilocybin levels in the sclerotia ranged from 0.31% to 0.68% dry weight and were dependent on the composition of the culture medium. The sclerotia are sold under the nickname “Philosophy Stones” and have a slightly bitter, nutty flavor.
When ingested, Psilocybe tampanensis induces a psychedelic experience that typically lasts between 4 to 6 hours. The effects can vary depending on the dosage, set, and setting, but common experiences include altered perception of reality, vivid visual hallucinations, changes in mood and emotions, enhanced creativity, introspection, and spiritual insights.
It is essential to approach these substances with caution, respect, and in a responsible manner, always considering one’s mental state and environment. It can dissolve the boundaries between self and universe, offering glimpses into the interconnected web of existence.
But tread carefully, for Psilocybe tampanensis demands respect and mindfulness. Its effects can be profound, and the path it lays before you is not one to be taken lightly.
Hallucinations
Psilocybe tampanesis can induce visual (especially withing high doses), auditory, and sensory hallucinations.
Euphoria and Introspection
Many report feelings of euphoria, introspection, and enhanced creativity.
Altered Perception
Users experience shifts in perception of time, space, and reality.
Mindset and Setting
The effects are influenced by mindset and environment.

How to Grow Psilocybe tampanesis?
You can use any typical decomposing growing methods (For example from our P.cubensis). But why should you do that, if you can set and forget for philosophers stones? Here we focus on how to grow the sclerotia. Mushrooms which are forming sclerotia: Psilocybe Mexicana, Psilocybe Tampanensis, Psilocybe Atl#7, Psilocybe Atlantis, Psilocybe Galindoi.
Growing Psilocybe tampanesis requires several steps to ensure successful cultivation. Here’s how to grow these magic mushrooms like normal shrooms:
The cultivation of Psilocybe allenii begins with obtaining a clean culture. This can be achieved by starting with spores and transferring them to agar petri dishes. In a sterile environment, inoculate the spores onto the agar using a homemade inoculation loop. Select the best dishes with healthy mycelium growth and transfer them to fresh petri dishes.
It’s time to move on to the next phase: Rye grain bags. Sterilize the rye grain bags, and once cooled, inoculate them with the culture. Seal the bags and incubate them at room temperatures (spawn run). The colonization process may take around three weeks.
When the rye grain bags are fully colonized, it’s time to transfer the mycelium to wood-based substrates. Experiment with different options, such as pasteurized cardboard or pasteurized sawdust. Choose a substrate that is suitable for the growth of Psilocybe allenii. Inoculate the substrates with a portion of the colonized rye grain bag.

How to set up for growing Sclerotia?
Step 1: Spore Syringe or Liquid Mycelium for Grain Inoculation You have several options for inoculating your substrate. If you have a spore print of Psilocybe tampanesis or any other sclerotia-producing species, you can make a spore syringe. This involves preparing the syringe and rehydrating the spores for 1-2 days before inoculating the grain. Alternatively, you can create a liquid culture from a spore syringe or liquid mycelium, which allows for faster colonization and the ability to create more inoculation material.
Step 2: Choosing the Substrate The substrate is a crucial part of growing Psilocybe tampanesis. It’s recommended to use whole grain oats or ryegrass seeds as the substrate. Other options include rye berries, barley, brown rice flour, whole white/red millet, and wild bird seeds. It’s important to rinse the grains thoroughly and soak them in water for 24-48 hours at room temperature. Adding gypsum during soaking can help prevent clumping. After soaking, rinse the grains again and boil them for the appropriate amount of time.
Step 3: Jars or Bags for Cultivation For growing Psilocybe tampanesis, it’s best to use jars instead of bags. Jars provide better protection for the sensitive mycelium and help prevent contamination. Optimal jar sizes are between 16 ounces and 1 quart. You can fill the jars with the prepared substrate, leaving about 30-80% of the volume empty. Adding a layer of vermiculite at the bottom of each jar can help absorb excess moisture.
Step 4: Substrate Sterilization To ensure a sterile environment, cover each jar with aluminum foil and place them in a pressure cooker or autoclave. Sterilize the jars at the appropriate pressure and time, depending on their size. After sterilization, allow the jars to cool down to room temperature before proceeding.

How to grow Sclerotia?
Step 5: Inoculation Once the jars have cooled down, it’s time to inoculate them with either a spore syringe or liquid culture. Prepare a clean workspace and wear appropriate protective gear. Remove the foil from the jars, wipe the inoculation port with alcohol, and inject the spore or liquid culture into each jar. It’s crucial to maintain a sterile environment throughout this process to prevent contamination.
Step 6: Colonization Period After inoculation, place the jars in a dark location and allow the mycelium to colonize the substrate. The ideal temperature for colonization is around 70-75°F (21-24°C). If you want to speed up the process or if the room temperature is lower, you can use an incubator or an incubation chamber with temperature control. The colonization period typically takes 1-2 weeks, but it can vary.
Initiating Sclerotia Formation: Once the jars are fully colonized, induce sclerotia formation by exposing the mycelium to lower temperatures. Move the jars to a cooler environment, ideally around 60-68°F (16-20°C).
Wait for sclerotia growth: Over the course of several weeks, small, firm, brownish-colored sclerotia will form within the colonized grain jars. These sclerotia will resemble small stones or nuggets.
Harvest the sclerotia: Once the sclerotia have reached the desired size and hardness, they are ready for harvest. Carefully remove them from the grain jars and clean them to remove any excess substrate.
Store the harvested sclerotia: After cleaning, allow the harvested sclerotia to dry thoroughly. Once dry, store them in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain their potency.
By following these steps, you can successfully grow Psilocybe tampanesis. Remember to maintain cleanliness and sterile conditions throughout the process to ensure the best results.
Happy growing!
Cropping Cycle
Inoculation Phase
The inoculation phase involves transferring mycelium from an agar plate to sterilized grain spawn (e.g., rye, millet).
Duration: 2-3 weeks.
Sterile conditions are crucial to prevent contamination. Shaking the jars periodically ensures even mycelial distribution throughout the grain.
Spawn Run
Description: The fully colonized grain spawn is mixed with a bulk substrate or used as is for sclerotia formation.
Duration: 4-6 weeks.
For fruiting bodies, mix the spawn with a bulk substrate like a mixture of pasteurized wood chips and straw. For sclerotia, the colonized grain can be left to incubate.
Fruiting Phase
The colonized substrate is transferred to fruiting conditions with high humidity, fresh air exchange, and appropriate lighting.
Duration: Pinning occurs within 1-2 weeks, with mature mushrooms appearing in another 1-2 weeks.
Maintain humidity around 90-95% and provide indirect light for 12 hours a day. Ensure proper ventilation to avoid CO2 buildup, which can inhibit pinning and growth.
Sclerotia Formation Phase
Sclerotia (truffles) form within the grain spawn during extended incubation.
Duration: 2-6 months.
Incubate the fully colonized grain jars at around 20-24°C in the dark then drop the temperature. The mycelium will begin to form dense, hard sclerotia within the substrate. Regular monitoring is essential to check for contamination and assess sclerotia development.
Harvest
Harvesting mushrooms or sclerotia involves careful collection to avoid contamination and damage.
Duration: Mushrooms are harvested 1-2 weeks after pinning; sclerotia are harvested after 2-6 months of incubation.
For mushrooms, harvest when the veil under the cap begins to tear. For sclerotia, break open the jars and separate the sclerotia from the grain. Clean and dry the sclerotia before storage.

Identification
Psilocybe tampanensis can be identified by its small to medium cap, which ranges from 1.5 to 5 cm in diameter and changes from convex to flat as it matures, often developing a central bump. The cap color is brown to yellow-brown when fresh, fading to a lighter tan as it dries, with a smooth and slightly sticky surface when moist. The gills are adnate to adnexed, transitioning from light gray to dark purple-brown, with whitish edges. The slender stem is 2 to 6 cm long, 2 to 4 mm thick, and white to pale yellow in color, often bruising blue when handled. Psilocybe tampanensis also produces sclerotia, small, dense masses that form within the substrate and are dark brown to black, providing another distinctive feature.
How to identify P. tampanesis
Psilocybe tampanensis grows summer to late fall
Deciduous forest, meadows, nutrient-rich sandy soil, sandy humus, later decomposers, heat-loving, cultivated as a drug, and offered in various shops, especially its psilocybin-containing sclerotia tubers are in high demand as magic truffles. Grows singly or in numbers in sandy meadows and pastures in Florida near the city of Tampa. This art is only known from this place.

Dosis
Depending on the particular strain, growth method, and age at harvest, psilocybe mushrooms can come in rather different potencies. It is recommended to weigh the actual mushrooms, better then counting them. 10% of the mushrooms mass is left, when dried. Take a look at Properties, to find out how potent they are.
Typical:
People taking MAOIs should be very careful, as the enzyme monoamine oxidase metabolizes psilocybin and psilocin. An MAOI decreases the body's ability to handle mushrooms (approximately doubling their potency) and can result in an uncomfortable, prolonged, or dangerously strong experience.
There is an urgent warning against food experiments with Psilocybe subaeruginosa. Collecting, possessing and selling drug mushrooms is illegal in many countries around the world.
Here’s how to unlock the true root of Your Brain
– Without worrying about low quality ingredients
Effect
Due to the presumed main ingredient, psilocybin, the same effect can be expected as with other types of well-known hallucinogenic mushrooms. At this point, it is convenient to refer to the description of the effects of Psilocybe cumbensis.
Duration:
5-6 hours
Sensory Perception
Psilocybe tampanensis has an earthy and slightly sweet smell, with a mild, farinaceous taste. The flesh is whitish to pale yellow, firm, and bruises blue when handled. These sensory characteristics, combined with its unique morphological features, help in identifying this species.
Smell
The smell of Psilocybe tampanensis is typically earthy and mushroom-like, sometimes with a slight sweet or nutty or floury undertone. This scent is often subtle but distinct from other non-psilocybin mushrooms.
Taste
The taste of Psilocybe tampanensis is generally described as mildly earthy and somewhat farinaceous (mealy). While not particularly pleasant, it is not overwhelmingly strong, making it tolerable for most users.
Flesh
The flesh of Psilocybe tampanensis is whitish to pale yellow/brown and tends to bruise blue when damaged, which is a common characteristic of psilocybin-containing mushrooms. The flesh is relatively firm but becomes more brittle as it dries.
Composition
Psilocybe tampanensis is primarily known for its psilocybin and psilocin content, which induce hallucinogenic effects. The presence of tryptophan derivatives, beta-carbolines, ergosterol, and nutritional components further characterize its composition. These compounds collectively contribute to the unique psychoactive properties and physiological effects associated with Psilocybe tampanensis.
Psilocybin Content
Psilocybe tampanensis, like other psychedelic mushrooms, contains unique compounds that contribute to its psychoactive effects.
Psilocybin
Chemical Structure: 4-phosphoryloxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine
Role: Primary psychoactive compound. Psilocybin is metabolized in the body to psilocin, which then acts on serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor, leading to altered perceptions, mood, and consciousness.
Baeocystin
4-phosphoryloxy-N-methyltryptamine
Role: A minor analog of psilocybin, also psychoactive. Its effects are not as well-studied but it is believed to contribute to the overall psychoactive experience.
Norbaeocystin
4-phosphoryloxytryptamine
Role: Another minor compound with potential psychoactive properties. Its effects are less understood compared to psilocybin and psilocin.
Other Alkaloids
Apart from psilocybin and psilocin, Psilocybe tampanensis may contain other compounds such as ergothioneine (an antioxidant), various amino acids, and polysaccharides.
Function: These compounds contribute to the overall health and physiological functions of the mushroom.
Ergosterol
A sterol present in fungal cell membranes, similar to cholesterol in animals. Ergosterol is a precursor to vitamin D2 when exposed to UV light.
Polysaccharides
Contribute to the structural integrity of fungal cell walls. Some polysaccharides from fungi have immunomodulating properties.
MAOIs
Monoamine oxidase inhibits an enzyme that breaks down neurotransmitters like serotonin. This interaction can potentiate the effects of psilocybin and psilocin.
Beta-Carbolines
Harmane, norharmane
These compounds act as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), potentially enhancing and prolonging the effects of psilocybin and psilocin by inhibiting their breakdown in the body.
Proteins
Like all mushrooms, Psilocybe tampanensis contains essential nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins (especially B vitamins like riboflavin and niacin), and minerals (potassium, phosphorus, magnesium).
Function: These nutrients support fungal growth and metabolic processes.
Proteins
Mushrooms typically contain a moderate amount of protein, including essential amino acids.
Vitamins
B-vitamins (B2, B3, B5, B7), Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol)
Role: Essential for various metabolic processes. Vitamin D2 is particularly noteworthy as it is converted from ergosterol upon exposure to sunlight.
Minerals
Potassium, phosphorus, selenium, copper
Role: Essential for numerous biological functions, including enzyme activity, bone health, and antioxidant defense.
Tryptophan Derivatives
Mushrooms in the Psilocybe genus often contain tryptophan derivatives and other indole compounds.
Function: These compounds are precursors to psilocybin and psilocin synthesis within the mushroom.
