Pajaritos Magic Truffles – 15 grams
Psilocybe Pajaritos is a cultivated variety derived from Psilocybe mexicana. Due to a longer growing period, the sclerotia grow larger and more compact than in the parent species, resulting in a slightly higher psilocybin concentration per gram. This strain falls into the mild to moderate category, clearly a step above Mexicana but less intense than Atlantis or Tampanensis at an equal dose.
The active compound psilocybin is converted into psilocin after ingestion, which acts as a partial agonist on the serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. Users describe the Pajaritos experience as cheerful and warm in character, with mild visual effects and a pleasant mood. The strain is well-suited for use in a social or outdoor setting, provided it is in a safe and familiar environment.
Dosage
Taking it on an empty stomach produces the strongest and most predictable effect. The correct amount depends on your body weight, whether the truffles are fresh or dried, and how intense you want the experience to be. Use the calculator below to determine your personal starting dose:
The first effects are noticeable after 20 to 45 minutes. The total duration averages between 3 and 5 hours. If you brew the entire 15 grams in two infusions, as some users do, the combined effect may be stronger than expected. Take this into account beforehand.
Usage
The most direct method is to eat the truffles whole or in small pieces on an empty stomach. If you’re prone to nausea, it’s better to make tea: finely chop the sclerotia, pour water at a maximum of 70°C over it, and let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain out the solids and drink the tea slowly. A second steep of the same material yields a milder dose with the remaining alkaloids.
Combining with alcohol or other psychoactive substances is strongly discouraged.
Storage
Store the truffles unopened in the refrigerator at 2–4°C until the expiration date. Consume as soon as possible after opening. A slight blue discoloration due to damage is normal and indicates oxidation of psilocybin, not spoilage.
Harm reduction
Only use Pajaritos truffles if you are feeling well, both mentally and physically. Avoid use if you have a history (personal or familial) of psychosis, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder. Do not combine with SSRIs, lithium, or MAO inhibitors. Ensure you are in a familiar environment and preferably have a sober person present.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Pajaritos and regular Mexicana?
Pajaritos is a longer-growing variety of the same Psilocybe mexicana base species. Due to the longer growing period, the sclerotia are larger and contain slightly more psilocybin per gram. In practice, the difference is subtle but noticeable: Pajaritos provides a slightly more intense experience than Mexicana at the same dosage. For a complete overview of all varieties, visit the magic truffles category page.
Is Pajaritos suitable as a first truffle experience?
Yes, Pajaritos is an accessible strain for people trying truffles for the first time, especially at a low starting dose. The effects are gentler and less overwhelming than those of potent strains like Hollandia or Space Invaders. The calculator above helps you determine the correct starting dose based on body weight.
How intense is Pajaritos tea compared to eating the truffle directly?
Tea made from the full 15 grams in two brews can be quite potent, even with a milder strain like Pajaritos. The psilocybin dissolves well in hot water, and absorption is sometimes faster than when eaten directly. Start with one infusion and assess after an hour whether a second serving is desired.
Can I use Pajaritos for microdosing?
Yes. A microdose is typically between 0.5 and 1.5 grams of fresh truffles, well below the threshold for noticeable psychedelic effects. Due to its mild potency, Pajaritos is a practical choice for microdosing. For more information on microdosing protocols, please refer to our knowledge base.
