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 McKennaii 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.

This kit is meant for small-scale home use only.

Customer Reviews
- Easy to grow and decent first flush Review by Eoin
-
I got a good first and second flush. The third one wasnt great though. (Posted on 4/26/2020)Rating - Not extra potent, small yields Review by beloje
-
I'm really sorry, but this was just a total waste of moneyRating
So 4 main things here
-It took them 2-3 weeks for the first mushrooms to show
-Gave only about 2 waves of mushroom which again took forever to grow
-Not potent, they have the same potency as any cubensis so nothing special
-Very small yields, gave about 7g per wave so max a total of 15g per total
Something worth mentioning is that i ordered them in the holiday season before x-mas, so that may have influenced the quality of the product since there is a lot going on in that period
Bought 3 of these XP boxes thinking it will be awesome to try something stronger, took the same dose i usually do and felt nothing different. Tried multiple times in hopes of getting different results because everyday moody mood may also affect how you feel the shrooms. Unfortunately after testing them over a couple of months i can say they are not any special to other cubensis regards potency.
What i liked about them tho it' s their magical looks. Thjey are very mystical, having white dots on their caps just like amanita muscaria and grow very robust with dark brown chocolaty veins on their stems. Reminds me of dwarfs (Posted on 4/20/2020) - Really good service. But disappointed over both growkits. Review by Samuel
-
The first growkit i ordered was bad, i was moldy and lika a week after i set it up it was a gonner. They send me a new one witout any trouble and were very proffesional and polite.Rating
I'm a bitt dissapointed at the yield as i only got like 10-12 grams on first flush. The second flush is now growing with only five mushrooms. Kind of bad ????.
In the past i always got good yields every flush but this were not something i would recommend. Good service minded workers though! (Posted on 3/25/2020) - Nice shrooms Review by hey_jim
-
Great service, fast delivery and the shrooms grew and worked as expected. I recommend covering the sides and the bottom of the box with tin foil, otherwise the shrooms may start growing all over and that can get out of control. (Posted on 12/19/2019)Rating - Light but nice Review by Heckel/Ana
-
Not a high visual cubensis.. Nice body feeling.. But light on the effects on my taste (Posted on 12/17/2019)Rating - Very little effect even with higher doses Review by Ross
-
I have grown a lot, I have taken a lot, but I have to say I did not find these a very good strain, actually quite bad. Thin and physically little visible psilocybin when I bruised them with my fingernails. I took them both raw and dried, so it was not the drying process as I had first suspected. So for me, quite a poor strain and one I won't be buying again.Rating
[mms edit: Hi Ross, you might have been unlucky with this one. Please contact support so we can find a solution. ^IQ] (Posted on 12/14/2019) - Not that good rush or flush Review by Allan

This one didn't gave so many mushrooms and the rush was not that great. (Posted on 11/11/2019)Rating - Great box! Review by Alex
-
I get 5 flushes qith 4 cold shocks. Total get around 60gr dry shrooms. Great product! And my mycel get contaminated after 2nd flush! Really strong and powerful box (Posted on 10/22/2019)Rating - Awesome growkits Review by Lifisgood
- Very good grow kits if you handle them with care. Great quality and if you let them dry you can keep them for months, keep in mind that they will lose strenght so over time the dose has to be a bit more. And service from this site is always perfect! Thank you, love and respect! (Posted on 10/18/2019)
- Mushrooms for cooking ? Review by Mel

I ordered this batch twice, got total of 3 batches. First one was wasted since I wasn't prepared to store them. Second and third batches didn't work at all. 0 effect. Just order something else. (Posted on 10/12/2019)Rating - Good service Review by izi

-
I have already 2 chanche to try,both time i have got 15 g rare mushroom only,and it was taste like nice salad but nothing extra effect.I try to harvest one more time but i feel dissapointed already.Rating
[Hi Digo, that doesn't sound good. Please contact customer support with explanation on your steps and please send in some photos too! *IQ] (Posted on 7/31/2019) - somehow disappointing Review by Geso
-
I have large experience using different grow kits and I must say with this one I got really small flashes. Getting 3 to 5 mushrooms only, thanks god the mushrooms were at least big ones. I repeated the whole process (3 times) with the same success. So at the end I got around 20-25 gr (dried) per kit, which is quite low for what I used to get years ago. I'm starting to think that this is a general problem, because I have trying different ones with more or less similar results.Rating
I still haven't tasted them, I just hope the experience worth the effort / price. (Posted on 7/1/2019) - Gute Sorte Review by Marco
-
Hat gut geflusht. Weiter so! (Posted on 6/27/2019)Rating - Ich bin sehr zufrieden Review by Sven
-
Sehr schnelle Lieferung. Sehr kräftig durchwachsener Kuchen. 1.Flush nach 10 Tagen. Trotz warmen Wetter, tagsüber 28°C, habe ich sehr schöne Pilze geerntet. Ein voller Erfolg. Dankeschön MagicMushroomShop. (Posted on 6/22/2019)Rating - Top quality, not the best yield Review by Fungus Speaks
-
I found the manual to be a bit inconclusive, because it said nothing clear about how often to mist and it was a bit confusing about what's to do with a heat map and what to do without one, so I didn't get the best yield so far (about 18g dried after the second flush). But when the second flush didn't work as expected, I put the cake upwards, and then the little friends started growing big. They're strange fellas, with a huge stem and big (one ended up with 2.5g dried).Rating
Nonetheless, the quality and potency is superb. I found them tasting good, too. I took the whole first flush at once and for the second time in my life I talked with the mushroom spirit. I'll certainly go for it again, hopefully with more experience and a better yield then. (Posted on 6/19/2019) - Nice Kit Review by Nico

Got good decent, very fast growing flushes. Very resistent to bacteria. (Posted on 6/18/2019)Rating - Pretty good Review by Ced
-
I received another one of these because the first ones where probably duds.Rating
Shipping was both times super fast
And thanks to the great support friends and myself had a pretty nice journey after all. Quite good yield, but i am sure i could have done better with more experience.
3. flush was the max
Looking forward to the next try (Posted on 4/16/2019) - this shroom den megalonane Review by Vasilis

I didn't get much of a flush from this kit though it was my very first and I'll do a lot differently next time. What really impressed me was the amazing service received from Magic Mushrooms Shop. Fast at replying to my query and fast shipping. Perfect customer service.Rating
As for the effects, I'm yet to try so can't comment on this aspect. (Posted on 12/22/2018)
