We recommend using
How to prepare the room and yourself before you begin
- Close any open windows. Wind or draft may bring micro organisms that can contaminate the Magic Mushroom grow kit.
- When taking out the grow box with the cake from the carton box, put it on a disinfected surface. If this surface would not be clean, micro organisms may attach to the grow box and will flourish inside the Magic Mushroom grow kit, and will contaminate the grow box.
- Make sure you work with clean hands and arms. We recommend using surgical gloves or a good disinfectant when handling the kit. You should use a facemask to avoid breathing into the grow bag and on the cake.
Instructions: Starting the Golden Teacher Magic Mushroom grow kit
- Take the magic mushroom grow kit, plastic bag and paperclip out of the box. Remove the lid of the mushroom grow kit (store the lid properly). Rinse the lid under running water. You will need it again later (step 7).
- Place the mushroom grow kit without lid in the plastic grow bag (opening at the top). Slide the opening of the bag under the bottom with the micro perforation pointing upwards. The opening of the bag is now largely closed. You do not have to worry about air circulation.
- When you see the first small mushrooms ( called pins), you can put the grow bag upright. Do not water! The first magic mushrooms will be visible after about 1 week.
- Place the mushroom grow kit in an area with enough daylight and at a temperature between 18 °C and 28 °C. NEVER place the grow kit in direct sunlight. Although mushrooms will grow at almost any temperature above 15 °C, 23 °C is the ideal temperature for an optimal harvest. Special heat mats are available to ensure this temperature and not have to heat the entire room.
- When the mushrooms are slightly bigger as the pins keep the bag a bit open the entire time so the moisture can evaporate (Phase 2). Too much moisture is not good.
The first mushrooms will be visible after approximately 1 week. Your first harvest will be about a week later. Make sure that you harvest before the first spores begin to fall! Freshmushrooms grow kits produce their first harvest fairly quickly. The first buds are already visible after only 1 week. Low and high temperatures may slightly delay this growth process. It usually takes one to two weeks before the mushrooms are fully developed.
- These kits can produce several mushroom harvests. To do so, fill the kit with clean tap water after the first harvest. This process is known as cold shock. It breathes new life into the mycelium and ensures that enough moisture is present for the mushrooms to grow.
- Place the lid of the grow Kit back on the kit. Let the kit rest for 12 hours. Open a corner of the lid and drain the excess water. From here you can follow the instructions from step 1 again. This process can be repeated several times.
Growing with a heatingmat (use only for this brand)
Place the plastic bag with the Grow Kit in it on the heat mat. Switch the heat mat on. After two days switch the heat mat off and wait until the buds have developed, which usually takes between five and ten days. Then switch the heat mat on again and open the top of the bag a little so the moisture can evaporate.
What to do if the buds haven’t developed after ten days. Take the cake out of the plastic box, put it back in the plastic box on its side and start again with two days with the heat mat.
How to store the grow kit correctly
It is recommended to start the cultivation process right away. If you decide to start growing later, you may store themagic mushroom grow kit inside a Soaking Bag in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) for 4 weeks after the production date.
Temperature
The ideal temperature is 24°C. Do not have the temperature drop under 18°C and not exceed 29°C. To keep the temperature from dropping under the 18°C, you can use a thermo mat to maintain the ideal temperature. A thermo mat is a must-have in the winter or colder regions of the world.
Light
The magic mushroom grow kit only needs light for the mycelium to ‘understand’ it has reached the surface. Only then, mushrooms will grow. A few hours of fluorescent/artificial light or indirect sunlight a day is more than enough. Direct sunlight kills the mycelium, so avoid the sun to shine directly on the grow kit.
Mushrooms
If the conditions are optimal, you can expect the first small mushrooms (the pins) to appear between 7 and 10
days. This also depends on the strain. Some cubensis strains grow slower than others.
Flushes
The mushrooms come up in groups. This can be a small or large group. That depends on the strain. A growth like this is called a flush. Mushrooms are almost never ripe at the same time. You can get more than one flush out of a kit. The first two flushes are the largest. When more flushes come, they will be smaller than the previous one.
Picking
Mushrooms are ripe and should be picked when the veil between the hat and the stem has just torn. Don’t wait much longer. Use surgical gloves or disinfect your hands, wrists and arms. Pick the mushrooms that are ripe and let the others continue to grow. The cake has no top layer such as vermiculite. This makes is much easier to pick the mushrooms than with the standard grow kits. The mushrooms can easily be pulled out of the cake by holding them between thumb and index finger. They mushrooms let go almost immediately. When most of the larger mushrooms have been picked, also pick the smaller ones and the pins as well.
Mushrooms that grow from the sides
Mushrooms grow where the light reaches and where there is little penetrating resistance. Because the cake has light shining on the sides, the mushrooms might also grow there. It is hard to counter this and can be allowed. Some growers wrap the sides of the grow box in aluminum foil to keep the sides dark, but this doesn’t always work well.
When mushrooms grow there, they can be picked just before you soak the kit:
Clean hands! Take the grow box out of the bag and place it upside down on your other hand. Wiggle the plastic box so that the cake will fall out, onto your hand. The plastic box can be placed on a disinfectant surface. Now you have this hand free to pick the mushrooms from the sides of the cake. When all mushrooms are picked, you can place the cake back as it was, in the plastic box and continue to the soaking process.
The end
When no more mushrooms grow out of a grow kit after the second flush for at least three weeks, or when the Magic Mushroom grow kit turns green, red, grey or yellow; the grow kit can be disposed of. The change in color is a sign that the grow kit is contaminated with another fungus or a bacteria. No more mushrooms will grow out of the Psilocybe cubensis Magic mushroom grow kit and the grow kit should be thrown away in the garbage outside.
Spores
When you are too late picking the mushrooms, they will drop their spores. The cake and the mushrooms will turn black/purple (some other cubensis strains red/brown) because of the spores. This is not really a problem; it just doesn’t look very pretty. When mushrooms release their spores, they also start to degrade and the active ingredients are breaking down. Mushrooms will lose some of their potency.

Selection and variety of products reveal knowledge. I have some experience in lab equipment and that is what it is used in lot of them.
I cannot say for other fresh kits, but I harvested my first ever yield yesterday and it is as advertised and seen in pictures. I followed instructions to the letter and managed to provide optimal conditions as indicated in the instructions and I am still amazed at the height, thickness, weight and number of beautiful and thick grow surface.
Fast shipment with discreet packaging and very smart at it too. Heating mat is for my lizards and spiders, right? :P
Will get more from them soon and will write review of the potency and effect but in all honesty, I expect continuation of the good experience.
Cheers and thanks!! (Posted on 6/14/2018) - worst customer service ever Review by Connor

[ MMS Edit; Hi Connor, as mentioned before in our personal messages with you: If a customer follows the right instructions and the kit doesn't grow or gets contaminated before the first flush. We usually send replacements. Just like we did for one of your kits that clearly showed contamination at arrival.
But if a kit shows growth, gives a first flush and has potential, then we don't rush to send replacements. That's normal, because the product is still functioning.
In your case (growth on the sides), there was still potential for a good next flush if you tilted the kit. We deal with that a lot. And we've seen great flushes with tilted kits. Nature can be funny that way.
Cultivation of kits requires a little research from the customer as well.
We try to provide as much information on the website as we can but just like the Apple Terms.. almost no one is willing to read a dictionairy of information, voluntarily. We understand.
In your case it is unfortunate that 1 (or maybe 2.. we are not sure about this since you didn't to send any updates on the B+ kit as we requested back then) out of 25 kits were faulty. We believe we handled your case correctly by sending replacement, which we haven't heard any complaints about from you, personally.
We do hope you still had a magical time cultivating the other kits and hope to see you back at our shop. <3 Leia ]

Bissher hatte ich nur die alten großen Pakete bestellt und angebaut. Daher war ich Anfangs eher Misstrauisch, da dass Paket plötzlich so klein war. Jedoch bin ich schlussendlich mit Allem zufrieden was die neuen Pakete zubieten haben.
Das neue Granulat oder besser gesagt, der neue Nährboden ist definitiv besser als der Alte. Die Pilze wachsen richtig schnell, viel und wenn man sich an alle Vorschriften hält, kann man wie ich ein Paket auch 7 Mal ernten.
Ich habe sogar versucht ein kleines Stück Myzhel mit Nährboden in normale Planzenerde zu geben und plötzlich wuchsen auch dort Pilze.
Somit bin ich bis hier hin komplett zufrieden!
Der Pilztrip ist sehr klar und ist meines Erachtens eher Geschmackssache. Wir haben sie in verschiedenen Varianten und Mengen probiert und nun hab ich ein Pilzbild im Kopf was ich gerne weiter gebe. Wir haben sie im Hellen, wie im Dunkeln, Frisch wie Trocken, in großer wie kleiner Gruppe, Innen wie Draussen, Stadt wie Land, 1-4 Gramm pro Testperson durchgetestet.
Die Pilze zeichnen sich durch ihre Gefühlsstärke aus. Manchmal fühlt man sich sogar in ein Tier oder Planze hinein, was echt interessant sein kann. Der Körper und das Gehirn reagieren sehr stark auf alle Veränderungen und man fühlt teilweise das Empfinden fremder Menschen. Leider ist das für mich gerade der negativste und eigentlich auch einzige Grund für eine 3 Benotung. Man schaut lieber alleine.
Es ist egal ob gearde jemand dabei ist oder nicht, man schaut auch gerne einfach so weiter und unterhalten muss nicht sein. Kann auch schön sein, wenn man eher alleine seine Reise antreten will, aber ich finde es nicht so schön wir es Unterhaltungspilze wie Amazonia oder B+ sind.
Auch sind die Geruchs und -Gehörsinne extrem geschärft. An einen komplett leisen Ort in der Natur, kann man die kleinsten Lebewesen hören, wie sie versteckt durch das Unterholz verschwinden.
Die Geschmacksnerven sind eher unterdrückt, sodass Speisen irgendwie Alle gleich schmecken.
Die Optik wird auch eher ein wenig schwach ausgedrückt da es einfach zu viel zu sehen gibt, was das Blickfeld extrem erweitert. Zu Hause jedoch wo das Blickfeld eingeschränkt auf die Wohnung ist, kann selbst eine weiße Wand seine Freuden haben, oder das Laminat macht sich auf und davon.
Zusammengefasst sind es gute und nette Anfängerpilze für eher gesprächsarme Reisen die trotzdem viel zu bieten haben. Gerne zu Empfehlen für Anfänger und auch Erfahrene Pilzonauten mit Mut für mehr Gramm. (Posted on 5/12/2018) - Firs timer Review by Pegazus

Clips could be bigger (thicker), as it is possible to damage the growing bag with rash moving of the sharp edged clips. But then again, get your ass up and get them yoursef.
Will order it again! (Posted on 3/15/2018)
