How to Grow Magic Mushrooms with Grow Kits

Grow magic mushroom with grow kits are the easiest way to grow your own psychedelic mushrooms at home. Of course you could buy ready to use psilocybin mushrooms, but it has several advantages when growing them by yourself.

Advantages of picking a magic mushroom grow kit

First of all, magic mushrooms grow kits usually don´t cost more than an average dosage of dried magic mushrooms.

Next thing is that magic mushrooms grow real quickly; you do not have to wait months to get your trip.

But beside the financial aspects, there might be even better reasons to buy grow kits. In most countries psychedelic mushrooms are illegal and so you have to buy them from a street dealer, where you never know what you get.

Or you buy magic mushrooms over the internet from reliable shops, but here the hallucinogenic mushrooms are shipped from countries where they are legal. That means, there is a small risk your mail is opened by customs. But like cannabis seeds remain legal in most countries, while cannabis is illegal, the spores of psilocybin mushrooms also remain legal in most countries. Magic mushroom grow kits do only contain a grow media and spores, so they are also legal like mushrooms spore syringes or spore prints. It’s very easy to grow magic mushroom at home and anyone can do it with great results.

You only have to add water and a small place left in a shelf in your living room.

Grow kits for hallucinogenic mushrooms normally contain

-One plastic box with lid, containing the grow media that already contains the spores of the magic mushrooms.
-One large plastic bag, where the box perfectly fits in and offers enough room for the magic mushrooms to grow.
-One clothespin or paper clip.

That´s it, the only thing you need is a fork and some water with room temperature. When you got your grow kits for your own psilocybin mushrooms, you can follow a simple step by step instruction.

The magic mushroom grow kits arrived at your home

If you do not want to use your magic mushroom grow kits right away, you should place them in the fridge. Here are the temperatures low enough to make the spores of the psychedelic mushrooms stop growing and colonizing the grow media in the grow kits. They can be stored for several weeks that way. When you keep them at room temperature, the spores will continue colonizing the media, but there is not enough water to flush magic mushrooms after colonization. The lid of the plastic grow kits is the next problem, there wouldn´t be any room for them to grow. That would mean your grow kits could be ruined within a couple of weeks. Keep an eye on the grow media, if it has a white fluff covering most of it, it means your hallucinogenic mushrooms want to flush.

Grow Magic mushroom with grow kit - Step by step instructions:

First see if all parts are delivered and ready to be used immediately, box with lid, plastic bag, and paperclip to close the bag, a fork and lukewarm water.

1. Open the box and take away the lid.
2. Take your fork and gently stab a few holes in the grow media of the grow kit . If you make 2 rows with 4 stabs each, you already got enough. They are just needed to ensure the media can properly soak with water.
3. Slowly fill in lukewarm water, the media takes some time to soak it. Fill it until the box is completely full with water.
4. Put the lid back on the water filled grow kit .
5. Let the whole thing stand still for a day.
6. Take away the lid the next day and rinse out the spare water.
7. Let the water completely dripping out of the box, the grow media should have soaked up enough.
8. Fill the plastic bag with 2 or 3 cups of lukewarm water. This ensures a good humidity and will keep the plastic bag wide, so it gives enough room for the magic mushrooms to grow.
9. Place the grow kit in the water of the plastic bag.
10. Close the plastic bag.
11. Take around 1 to 2 cm of the top from the plastic bag and fold it 2 to 3 times, now keep it tight and closed with the paper clip.
12. Put the grow kit in its final spot to grow, do not move it around, growing psilocybin mushrooms don´t like it if they are carried around every 2 or 3 days.
13. Fungi do not need direct light, so it doesn´t matter where you place your magic mushroom grow kit , but best not directly into the sun, as it could be a bit too warm also.
14. Keep temperatures at 22 to 24 °C for an optimal magic mushroom growing
15. Take a look at your grow kit each day, when you see the first psychedelic mushrooms, keep an eye on the box and media. It should be always wet.
16. Do not open the bag, the magic mushrooms need a very high humidity and if opened each day they could dry out or slow down their growing.
17. After a few days your magic mushrooms should be ready to harvest, the best time is before the hat opens. So your magic mushrooms will look a bit like a lollypop.
18. When harvesting you have to pick out each magic mushroom one by one. Just take it a bit above the media and gently turn it. The mushroom will “plop” off the media; do not just pull them out.
19. Fill the grow kit with water again and put the lid on it.
20. This time you only need to let it soak for 2 hours, the media is still wet and don´t need more time.
21. Now replace the water in the plastic bag.
22. Take off the lid from the grow kit and put the box back into the plastic bag.
23. Close the bag and keep it like before, but this time your hallucinogenic mushrooms will show up much faster. The media is fully colonized and so there is no delay.
24. Keep checking the box each day, already at the next day you can see the second flush coming.
25. Keep continuing this cycle until there are no more magic mushrooms growing in the box.
26. When doing everything properly, looking out for perfect growing conditions and with a pinch of luck, you could even receive 3 to 5 flushes with your grow kit .

Drying your magic mushrooms

The grow kit will give you far more than just a single dose per flush, so take what you want to consume with your friends now and put the rest of the magic mushroom on a news paper. Just spread them properly on the newspaper, so that none of the magic mushrooms are touching each other and got room to get rid off the water.

To speed up their drying process, you can also place the paper with the psilocybin mushrooms on a clothes-drying rack. So they got air from all sides and will dry a bit quicker. Turn the magic mushrooms every day, so that they equally dry from all sides.

Do not put them in the oven for quick drying or placing them on or in front of a heating device. The psilocybin mushrooms would loose some of their psilocybin through the heat; psilocybin does not like temperatures above 38 degrees.

Depending of temperature, humidity and air circulation in your room, they are fully dried within 4 to 7 days. Keep in mind that psychedelic mushrooms contain more than 90% water. So when you harvested 400 grams of fresh magic mushroom, you will have around 40 grams after drying.

We hope that this article gives you all the necessary information to grow magic mushrooms using grow kit easily and successfully!

Troubleshooting your magic mushrooms cultivation

If you see that the magic mushrooms look a bit limp and maybe get slightly black borders on the hat, this could mean humidity is too high.

When you see it before there are any black stains and not much happened yet, open the plastic back for 15 minutes, than close it again. Until they are ready for the harvest, there should be no more actions required.

When the hallucinogenic mushrooms already got black stains, harvest them immediately, as they won´t continue growing. Soak the box with water again and repeat everything, maybe open the plastic bag every 3 days for 3 to 4 minutes.

Always wash your hands when working with the grow kits, to avoid contamination of mold and bacteria. They will grow even faster and they prefer the same climate, so any contamination will ruin your grow kit .

Do not open or work with the grow kits in dusty and/or dirty rooms.
