Buy Microdosing Truffles — Best Smartshops in the Netherlands
Psilocybin truffles are legal in the Netherlands. Here's where to buy them safely — from trusted smartshops with verified scores.
Where to buy microdosing truffles in the Netherlands
The Netherlands is unique in the world: psilocybin truffles are legally sold in licensed smartshops and online stores. You don't need a prescription, a membership, or any special permission — truffles are sold over the counter, just like herbal supplements. This is possible because of a legal technicality: when mushrooms were banned in 2008, truffles (the underground sclerotia) were not explicitly included in the prohibition.
There are two main purchasing channels: physical smartshops and online shops. Physical smartshops offer immediate purchase, the ability to see and ask about products, and no shipping wait. Online shops often have a larger selection, competitive prices, and can ship within the Netherlands (check each shop's shipping policy before ordering internationally).
When buying for microdosing specifically, look for: (1) shops that stock tampanensis or mexicana strains, (2) shops that sell pre-packaged microdosing strips, (3) shops with knowledgeable staff who can answer questions about protocols and dosage. The scores on our directory factor in product quality, staff knowledge, and customer trust.
Product types available
Fresh Truffles
€12–22 / 15gThe most popular form. Fresh psilocybin truffles (sclerotia) sold vacuum-sealed. Shelf life: 2 months refrigerated. Common strains: tampanensis, mexicana, atlantis, hollandia. For microdosing, buy tampanensis or mexicana — they're the most consistent and mildest.
Pre-cut Microdosing Strips
€15–25 / 6 dosesReady-to-use strips where each piece is already measured at approximately 1g. Sold in packs of 6 doses. Perfect for beginners who don't have a precision scale. Slightly more expensive per dose but eliminates measurement error. Available at most Dutch smartshops.
Microdosing Capsules
€20–35 / 30 capsDried and powdered truffles (or mushrooms) encapsulated in gelatin or vegan capsules. Precise dosing, no taste, discreet. Typically 0.1–0.3g dried truffle per capsule (equivalent to ~0.5–1.5g fresh). Some products include lion's mane, niacin, or adaptogens (Stamets Stack format). Note: dried products have a different potency ratio — always check the dosage on the label.
Microdosing Kits
€35–65 / kitComplete starter kits typically include: fresh truffles (15–30g), a precision scale, a journal template, and an instructions booklet. Some kits also include lion's mane capsules and a grinder. Ideal for first-time microdosers. Several Dutch smartshops offer these as starter packages — compare what each kit includes before buying.

Tips for buying safely
Always buy from a licensed smartshop with a physical address. The Netherlands has strict licensing requirements for shops selling psilocybin products — a legitimate shop will be able to tell you exactly what strain you're buying, the recommended dosage, and any safety considerations. Avoid buying from unlicensed online vendors or informal sources.
Check the packaging date. Fresh truffles have a shelf life of about 2 months refrigerated. Ask when the batch was packaged, and avoid products older than 6 weeks. If buying online, check that the shop ships with appropriate cold packaging and offers a freshness guarantee.
For your first purchase, buy a single 15g pack of tampanensis truffles — enough for about 15 microdoses. Don't buy in bulk until you've established your correct dose. After your first cycle, you can calculate how much you'll need for a full 8-week Fadiman Protocol and purchase accordingly.
