Fresh magic truffles are sold legally in the Netherlands. The UK government's own travel advice for the Netherlands says so: the truffle (sclerotium) form "is not covered under Dutch law (Opium Act) and is still sold in regulated 'smart shops'" (FCDO travel advice). In the UK the same truffles are a Class A drug, and carrying them across the border is an import offence with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Every tier on this page therefore shares one rule. What you order is for your stay in the Netherlands, it is delivered to a Dutch address, and it is eaten or thrown away before you leave.

How the tiers are built

The tiers group Avalon Magic Plants' truffles by the strength the shop gives each variety on its own product pages. Avalon calls Mexicana A "mild to medium", puts Atlantis "in the middle range", calls Hollandia and Dragon "strong" and places Valhalla "a step above those". These are the shop's descriptions. The one published laboratory study of fresh truffles found psilocybin levels that differed almost threefold between samples (Pellegrini et al. 2013), so read the tiers as an order of strength and start low within each one.

The full comparison goes through every variety, and the choice guide explains how people move from one tier to the next.

First time or been here before

The switch above the cards changes two things: the amount Avalon suggests on each product page, and which tier is marked. For a first time the plan points to Gentle. For someone who has had truffles before it points to Moderate. A strong truffle straight after one mild session is a big step, and the shop's own advice for its strong varieties starts at half a pack.

Before you order

  • Delivery goes to an address in the Netherlands. Avalon sends Dutch orders with PostNL, usually within one working day, and does not ship anything to the UK (ordering for your stay).
  • Truffles go in the fridge as soon as they arrive.
  • Plan to finish the pack, or bin what is left, before the day you travel (why nothing comes home).
  • Read the safety page before the day itself, and the Dutch law page if you want to know why truffles are legal there at all.

Questions UK visitors ask

Short answers. Each one links to the page with the sources.

Can I take leftover truffles home to the UK?

No. Truffles contain psilocybin and count as a Class A drug in the UK, fresh or dried. Carrying them through any UK border is an import offence with a maximum of life imprisonment.

Going home: the law
Why are truffles legal in the Netherlands when magic mushrooms are not?

Since 1 December 2008 the Dutch Opium Act lists psilocybin mushrooms. Truffles are sclerotia, an underground part of the fungus, and were left off that list. The Supreme Court took the same position in April 2026.

Dutch law explained
Which Avalon truffle is the mildest?

Mexicana A. Avalon calls it mild to medium and ideal for a first time. Pajaritos and Tampanensis come just above it, Atlantis sits in the middle.

The full comparison
How much of a pack is a first-time amount?

For Atlantis the shop says 5 to 8 g. For its strong truffles it advises half a pack, 7.5 g, for anyone new to them. Wait at least an hour before deciding anything else.

The choice guide
Can Avalon deliver to my hotel?

The shop says it cannot guarantee deliveries to hotels or hostels, especially fresh truffles. A rented flat or another address where the parcel can be handed to you is more reliable.

Ordering for your stay
Can I order to my address in the UK?

No. Avalon does not ship to the UK, and ordering truffles from any seller to a UK address is an import of a Class A drug.

Post and parcels
What should I not mix with truffles?

Alcohol, cannabis and other drugs, and medication such as lithium, MAO inhibitors and SSRIs. If you take anything on prescription, ask your doctor or pharmacist before your trip.

Safety for visitors
Is a grow kit an option for a visit?

No. Avalon's truffle kit needs at least four weeks at room temperature, and growing one in the UK is production of a Class A drug. Kits are for people who live in the Netherlands.
