More about Mushroom Grow kit B+

Mushrooms, magic mushrooms, magic mushrooms… have been arousing people’s interest for centuries. In recent years, the most important active ingredient in magic mushrooms, psilocybin, has been in the spotlight because of its therapeutic possibilities.
Psilocybe Cubensis is a mushroom that originates from Mexico. Here it plays an important role for the indigenous people during spiritual ceremonies. The shaman is in a state of intoxication in which contact can be made with gods and spirits. The wisdoms can be taken back to the ‘ordinary world’ and passed on.
Since the arrival of the Spaniards in South America, these practices have been recorded and are the first written evidence. Indigenous people (ancestors of the Aztecs and relatives) had probably for thousands of years had been aware of the psychoactive effects of these mushrooms. Numerous (pre-Columbian) works of art have been found, figurines and beautifully made of the most beautiful materials, gold and precious stones, where psilocybe mushrooms are depicted, or figures under the influence of its active substances.
To someone who has never tried any hallucinogen a trip is hard to explain, but here is a list of effects one could experience when on magic mushrooms:

• A change in mood, either euphoria or the opposite (bad trip);
• A dreamy state, loss of attention and concentration, slow thinking, feelings of unreality or depersonalisation;
• Blurred vision, brighter colours, longer afterimages and sharp definition of objects;
• Increased hearing abilities;
• Colourful, kaleidoscopic patterns seen with eyes closed, and sometimes even on objects or surfaces in field of vision;
• Incoordination, difficult and tremulous speech;
• Great empathy, or even an unusual ability to perceive the feelings of people in the environment;
• A few auditory hallucinations;
• An uncontrollable urge to laugh;
• Alternately feeling hot and cold.

Warning:

Magic mushrooms are not toys nor partydrugs, so they should be used consciously. Make sure you get proper information before consumption. Never take more than 15 grams of fresh mushrooms when trying for the first time. Keep out of reach from children and pets. Do not use magic mushrooms when pregnant, in case of physical and/or mental problems, or when taking medication. Always consult a physician in case of doubt. Do not combine with alcohol or drugs.
Caution: The substrate contains gluten. The mushrooms themselves contain traces of this. Not suitable for people with (severe) gluten intolerance.

Note: Start growing as soon as you have received the grow kit. If this is not immediately possible, store the kit at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.

There are different ways to consume magic mushrooms. Do not eat anything a few hours in advance  for an optimal effect. Take a precision scale to determine your dose. Dried mushrooms retain one-tenth of their original weight. Note: drying magic mushrooms is prohibited in the Netherlands. You can also make tea from the dried mushrooms. Boil the water and add the mushrooms in pieces. Let it steep for 20 minutes. You can then sift the water and if desired sweeten it with a little honey.

STEP 1

Take the Fresh Mushrooms box out of the cardboard box, but don’t throw the cardboard box away yet! Remove the lid from the plastic container. Wash it under running water and store it – you will need it for the next flushes.User Instructions Fresh Mushrooms Grow Kit

STEP 2

Lay down the grow bag on a flat surface and slide the grow kit into it. Fold up the bag under the grow kit and make sure the micro perforation is located just above the cake and pointing upwards. By folding the bag under the grow kit you have mainly closed the bag and you don’t have to worry about air circulation anymore.

STEP 3

Place in an area with plenty daylight that maintains 18°C-28°C. DO NOT place in direct sunlight. Although mushrooms will grow within this temperature range, 23°C is the ideal temperature you need to maintain for optimal yields. A grow kit heating mat can help achieve this if you are in a cool area. Mushrooms require indirect sunlight to grow.

Note: A grow kit heating mat can support the growing process, but it won’t make up for a room temperature that’s too low.

STEP 4

When the first pins have appeared you can change the position of the grow bag and place it upright. Again there’s no need to spray. The first mushrooms should become visible after 1-3 weeks.

STEP 5

When the first caps have become clearly visible, the bag must remain slightly opened so that excess moisture can evaporate. Too much moisture can be harmful for the mushrooms.

Fresh Mushrooms Grow Kits are able to produce their first flush quickly. Usually, the first pinheads will start to appear after 1-3 weeks. It usually takes 1 week for mushrooms to fully develop once caps have appeared.

HARVESTING

Cleanliness is essential when it comes to harvesting your Fresh Mushrooms Grow Kit. Be sure to wash hands and forearms thoroughly with disinfecting soap, and wear sterile gloves when it comes to harvest. It is very important that you harvest your mushrooms before the veils under the caps of the mushrooms tear. If you don’t harvest them before this moment, the kit most likely won’t produce any further flushes!

Grab the base of the stalk, and with a gentle motion, twist and pull the mushroom away. It is important to twist and not simply pull, as doing so may damage the mycelium, negatively impacting the next flush. After picking, the stems may turn bluish. This is called ‘bruising’ and it’s nothing to worry about. Actually, it is evidence of the potency of the Flesh of the Gods!

STORING YOUR GROW KIT

As this is a fresh product, it is highly recommended you start growing as soon as you receive your kit. We do not recommend storing your kit unless you have no other choice. A grow kit may remain viable if stored in a fridge at 3-5°C. It may last up to 4 weeks here – but there is no guarantee. Be sure to put the kit in a sealed, clean plastic bag to minimise the risk of contamination.

STEP 6
ADDITIONAL HARVESTS

These kits do not just produce one harvest of mushrooms. It is possible to obtain multiple flushes. To do so, fill the tub with cold tap water after you have finished your first harvest – this is known as cold-shock and reinvigorates the mycelium. Place the lid back on the tub (you have hopefully kept it as we instructed). Now leave the tub for 12 hours to soak. After 12 hours, open a corner of the lid and carefully drain out excess water. Don’t worry if there’s almost no water left. This is a natural product and the amount of excess water may vary per kit.

Now all you need to do is clean and store the lid and continue from step 2 again. You should be well on your way to another harvest of bountiful magic goodness! This process can be repeated multiple times.
