Why go for a kit from Fresh Mushrooms?
Fresh Mushrooms psilocybe grow kits are simple mushroom grow kits. They are especially so easy since they do not require watering until after the first harvest. This means that upon delivery, the grow kit can be taken out of the box and set up without adding water. Once you have the kit in your home, remove it from the packaging and place it in the grow bag provided. Then it's just a matter of waiting a while until you are treated to a rich harvest of good mushrooms.
This is what you can expect from these grow kits
All Fresh Mushrooms growkits have a capacity of 1200cc. After a week you will usually see the first mushrooms emerging. After that, it is important to keep a close eye on the right moment of harvesting. This is just before the cap of the mushroom pops open. And that is usually within three weeks from the moment your mushroom grow kit arrives. The harvest will be substantial: between 500 and 800 grams of fresh mushrooms. After the first harvest, you can get another 'flush' out of your grow kit by adding water.
Which Fresh Mushrooms kit do you choose?
Among the Fresh Mushrooms grow kits, there are several different kinds of mushrooms. One of the strongest mushroom species is the McKennaii, which seems to make you philosophise extra. Not a mushroom strain for beginners, we would say. The same goes for the Golden Teacher, which, by the way, is wonderful to watch grow up. They grow quite large and golden. The Fresh Mushrooms Ecuador growkit is a good choice if you want to grow mushrooms in a cooler environment. After all, these can naturally withstand low temperatures. If you want a happy trip, go for the B+ mushrooms. The Fresh Mushrooms Thai growkit is also recommended for those looking for a bit more cheerfulness.
Tips for the Fresh Mushrooms growkits
When growing magic mushrooms like those from Fresh Mushrooms, there are a number of things you can take into account if you want to generate an optimal harvest. Read our tips from preparation to trips here.
Work sterile
If you want to make sure your mushroom harvest is successful, work in a super clean environment. Wash your hands thoroughly and wear gloves before working with the cultivation kit, keep pets, food and bacterial sources away as much as possible. Why is this important? Mushrooms are very susceptible to contamination by unwanted invisible guests. This is because they grow on a so-called substrate, which the mushrooms feed on. That substrate is very susceptible to infection, partly because mushrooms have to grow in a fairly warm environment. And of course, that substrate is not just a tasty meal for your mushrooms.

The first harvest
Setting up the grow kit is super easy: remove the lid of the grow kit, place it in the grow bag, fold the bag around the kit and wait for the mushrooms to grow. No water is needed for the first harvest. This makes it even easier, especially for beginners, to start that first mushroom growing journey.
After harvest: drying and storing your Fresh Mushrooms
As you read earlier, a Fresh Mushrooms grow kit will give you a hefty portion of mushrooms. Probably more than you can finish in one go. Now, mushrooms are quite perishable; they remain, but only edible for a short time. Fortunately, you can solve this by drying your mushrooms. Properly dried mushrooms can be kept for up to a year. So a sustainable source of psychedelic trips and microdoses! Read here how to dry mushrooms (and truffles) so you can store them longer.
Tripping or microdosing: the right dose of magic mushrooms
Your harvest is done, and your mushrooms are ready to be eaten. Then it's useful to know how much you need to eat to get the desired effect. If you want to trip, you need to pay close attention to the dose. Use a scale to weigh your mushrooms. Use our dosage calculator!
