Blog – Avalon Magic Plants
Browse all our articles about truffles, grow kits, microdosing, kratom, cacti and everything else you want to know about smartshop products. Written by our team with over 15 years of hands-on experience.
Popular Topics
Our blog covers a wide range of subjects, from practical guides to in-depth background stories. Whether it's growing your own mushrooms, preparing ayahuasca or choosing the right kratom strain, we share what we've learned from years of daily experience. Every article is written and reviewed by team members who work with these products every day.
Magic Truffles and Mushrooms
Truffles and mushrooms are the products Avalon Magic Plants is known for. In our blog articles you'll learn how to use a grow kit, when to harvest and what the differences are between Psilocybe species. We also cover microdosing with truffles: what works, what doesn't, and what to keep in mind when you start.
Herbs, Cacti and Plant-Based Products
Alongside truffles, we regularly write about mescaline cacti like San Pedro and Peyote, Salvia divinorum, kanna and ayahuasca. Many of these plants have centuries of traditional use behind them. We cover the background, the active compounds and practical use so you're well-informed before trying anything.
Kratom and Natural Energizers
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a product that raises a lot of questions. In our articles we explain the difference between red vein, green vein and white vein strains, discuss water-soluble kratom (KRAID) and give honest information about effects and dosage. We also cover energizers and how they work.
