Magic mushrooms, also known as psilocybin mushrooms, are a type of fungus that contains the psychedelic compound psilocybin. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring hallucinogen that has been used for centuries by indigenous cultures for religious and spiritual purposes.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the potential therapeutic benefits of psilocybin. Studies have shown that psilocybin can be effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and addiction.

If you are interested in growing your own magic mushrooms, this guide will provide you with everything you need to know, from choosing the right spores to harvesting and storing your mushrooms.

Choosing the Right Spores

The first step in growing magic mushrooms is to choose the right spores. There are many different strains of magic mushrooms, each with its own unique characteristics. Some strains are more potent than others, and some are better suited for beginners than others.

If you are a beginner, it is recommended to choose a strain that is known for being easy to grow and relatively mild in potency. Some good beginner strains include:

• B+ Cubensis
• Golden Teacher
• Mazatapec

Once you have chosen a strain, you can purchase spores online or from a local spore bank.

Preparing the Substrate

The next step is to prepare the substrate. The substrate is the material that the mushrooms will grow on. There are many different types of substrates that can be used, but the most common is a mixture of vermiculite and manure.

To prepare the substrate, you will need to:

1. Mix equal parts vermiculite and manure in a large container.
2. Add water to the mixture until it is moist but not soggy.
3. Sterilize the substrate by boiling it for 30 minutes or by baking it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 hours.

Inoculating the Substrate

Once the substrate is sterilized, it is time to inoculate it with the spores. To do this, you will need to:

1. Create a sterile environment by wiping down your work area with a bleach solution.
2. Wear gloves and a mask.
3. Open the spore syringe and inject 1-2 cc of spores into the substrate.
4. Seal the container and incubate it at a temperature of 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Incubation

The incubation period is the time it takes for the mycelium to colonize the substrate. This can take anywhere from 10 to 30 days.

During incubation, it is important to keep the substrate moist and at a constant temperature. You should also check the substrate regularly for contamination.

Fruiting

Once the substrate is fully colonized, it is time to induce fruiting. To do this, you will need to:

1. Remove the lid from the container.
2. Mist the substrate with water.
3. Expose the substrate to light for 12 hours per day.

The mushrooms will begin to grow within a few days. They will typically be mature within 1-2 weeks.

Harvesting

Once the mushrooms are mature, they can be harvested. To do this, simply twist them off the substrate.

Once the mushrooms have been harvested, they can be dried and stored for later use.

Storage

Magic mushrooms can be stored for up to 6 months in a cool, dry place. They should be stored in a sealed container to prevent them from losing their potency.

Growing magic mushrooms is a relatively easy and rewarding experience. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can successfully cultivate your own magic mushrooms at home.

Please note that psilocybin is a Schedule I drug in the United States, and it is illegal to possess, use, or distribute. This guide is for informational purposes only, and it should not be taken as legal advice.
