Recommended starting point
€ 44,85
The Beginner Protocol follows the Fadiman Protocol, the most widely used method to get familiar with microdosing in a structured way. Not too much, not too fast, but a system that is proven to work.
One day on, two days off. Repeated over the course of two months. Those rest days are there for a reason – your body and mind need time to feel and integrate the effects. This is how you experience microdosing at its best.

Product information
Get started
- Use scissors to cut one microdose from the strip.
- Take your dose with or right after breakfast. DO NOT CHEW, but swallow whole with a glass of water. This will enhance the slow-release effect.
- Enjoy the newly unlocked power of your mind.
Protocols
It would be best to consume the microdose according to a specific schedule stating how often and when you take it. This is called a protocol.
So far, six different microdosing protocols have been identified. We will describe three of them below.
The Beginners Protocol – or the Fadiman Protocol – is a good start for people who are microdosing for the first time. This protocol is based on a 3-day cycle for the next two months.
As you can see in the schedule below: On the first day, you microdose, followed by two days without microdosing; on the third day, you microdose again. Follow this routine for two months.
Try this microdosing protocol to determine if it is right for you and experience what microdosing can do for you. After two months, take a break for 2 to 4 weeks to let your system reset.
It’s important to find your dosage ’sweet spot’ since there is no set rule for microdosing. Your microdose ‘sweet spot’ refers to the dosage amount that gives you optimal benefits. As long as you haven’t found your ‘sweet spot’ yet, it’s better to avoid driving or operate vehicles and other equipment. Discover the sweet spot in microdosing in our blog.
The Advanced protocol is an excellent one for people who have had microdosed before and want to increase the benefits of microdosing.
As you can see in the diagram below, this protocol is based on a 2-day cycle for the next two months. The first day you microdose, the next day, you don’t; then, the third day, you microdose again; the next day, you don’t. Follow this routine for two months.
Try this microdosing protocol to determine if it is right for you and experience what microdosing can do for you. After two months, take a break for 2 to 4 weeks to let your system reset.
The Expert protocol is for those familiar with microdosing, who know how the body and mind react and aim for optimal results.
As you can see in the diagram above: microdose for four days straight, then rest for three days and start again for the next two months.
What is microdosing?
Microdosing means taking a very small amount of a psychoactive substance on a regular basis. The dose is typically around 5-10% of a full psychedelic dose. At this level, you don’t experience a trip or visual effects – it remains below the threshold of perception.
What people often do describe is a subtle shift in how their day unfolds: more clarity, less mental noise, or an increased sense of focus. The effects are usually gradual and understated. That’s why microdosing is almost always practiced within a structured protocol, alternating dosing days with rest days.
What do people experience when microdosing?
Experiences with microdosing vary from person to person. It is not something that works the same for everyone.
Users commonly report:
- Increased focus and concentration
- Greater mental calm
- A stronger sense of creativity
- More energy or motivation
- A more positive mood
At the same time, it’s important to note that microdosing is not a quick fix. It works best as part of a broader routine that includes quality sleep, movement, and a mindful lifestyle.
Is microdosing addictive?
Psilocybin is not known to be addictive, and there is no evidence that microdosing leads to physical dependence. That said, it’s important to approach microdosing with intention and structure. Most protocols include rest days and periodic breaks to prevent habituation and to better observe how it affects you personally.
Why follow a protocol?
Microdosing doesn’t work like coffee, where you feel an immediate effect. It’s about rhythm — a consistent cycle of dosing followed by rest days. This gives both body and mind the space to process and integrate the experience.
Fungki’s Beginner Protocol follows a 3-day cycle:
- Day 1 – microdose
Day 2 – rest
Day 3 – rest
This rhythm is repeated over several weeks.
Subtle.
Structured.
Measurable.
Disclaimer
The effects of microdosing are subjective and may vary from person to person. Fungki does not make medical claims. If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional before starting.
The Microdose truffles used by Fungki® are the result of a years-long breeding process of sclerotia, which is the plural of sclerotium.
A sclerotium is a compact mass of hardened fungal mycelium. The exterior of the sclerotium sometimes has a membranous layer that prevents dehydration. When the environment is favourable, fruiting bodies such as mushrooms can develop.
Sclerotium is rich in fat and polysaccharides. Fungki® Microdosing contains the substances psilocybin and psilocin, as well as other nutrients, in addition to fats and polysaccharides, in low doses. They are grown for the optimum size, perfectly suitable for microdosing. The sclerotium is rich in fat and polysaccharides. In addition to fats and polysaccharides, Fungki Microdosing also contains the substances psilocybin and psilocin and other nutrients in a low dose. They have been bred to the optimum size that is perfect for microdosing.

FAQ
Answers to your questions
We are proud to say that our truffles are cultivated in the Netherlands! Our carefully chosen growers focus on creating the highest quality and most consistent production of truffles, putting product quality and safety first. Our growers cooperate with scientific research institutes and use advanced techniques to improve the growth and quality of the truffles.
If the truffles are still in their original, sealed packaging, you can keep them for up to two months. However, once they are removed from the packaging, it is important to store them properly to preserve their quality and shelf life. This means storing them in a dry and cold place, keeping them safe to consume for about two weeks.
We recommend starting microdosing in the morning. Take your dose with a glass of water and swallow without chewing, preferably on an empty stomach.
We cannot and will not comment on the legal status of products in another country, as it is impossible for us to keep up with the constantly changing laws and regulations in every country. We do not in any way guarantee that the information and products on our website are available, applicable or legal outside the Netherlands. Please read our Shipping Policy for more details.
