Mushroom Grow kit Ecuador
Mushroom Grow kit Ecuador, Originating from the Andes in Ecuador, at 1000 meters altitude. The Psilocybe cubensis Ecuador is very popular among growers, as it usually produces large, firm mushrooms. It is easy to grow and produces a large yield, highly recommended for beginners! The Ecuador is often chosen by mycologists and biologists for study.
The active substance in magic mushrooms is a plant alkaloid called psilocybin. Psilocybin is a tryptamine that is chemically similar to the human neurotransmitter DMT (dimethyltryptamine). DMT is one of the strongest visionary psychedelics, which occurs abundantly in nature (trees, grasses etc.) and is easily broken down by the body’s MAO enzymes, leaving no toxic byproducts behind.
More about Mushroom Grow kit Ecuador
There are about 180 species of mushrooms on earth that contain the psychedelic substance psilocybin or psilocin. These mushrooms have been used as an important part of the culture since time immemorial. Various statues and paintings have been found where the mushroom is depicted, often with human features. In the Sahara many such works of art have been found, as well as in Central and South America. Temples built in honour of mushroom gods have been found here. The dates date back to 1000 to 500 BC.
In the 16th century, the Spanish priest Bernardino de Sahagún recorded what happened during such a mushroom ceremony of the Aztecs:
‘…First they ate small, dark mushrooms, which they called nanacatl and made them drunk and made them hallucinate and lustful. Before sunset they ate these mushrooms with honey. When they felt the effects, they began to dance, some were singing, some were crying… When the drunken feeling of the mushroom disappeared, they spoke to each other about the visions they had had’.
Thus, this mysterious, magical mushroom also became known in the western world, and aroused the interest of academics. Research and expeditions began, with for the first time a Westerner taking part in a ceremony.
Gordon Wasson published an article in Life Magazine in 1957 recording this experience. As a result, everyone suddenly knew of the existence of these hitherto unknown customs.
In the 1960s, the psychedelic wave was also used for scientific research. Albert Hoffman has isolated the active ingredients psilocybin and psilocin from the psilocybe mushroom. Still only the veils of the magical effect of these mushrooms are lifted a little.
Current research on psychedelics
Currentely, several studies are dedicated to the effects of psychedelics, including psilocybin-containing mushrooms. Simple cognitive tests are used to evaluate the effect on the brain. The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) is an organisation that does a lot of work in this interesting field.
Tripping on magic mushrooms
A mushroom trip takes an average of 6 hours. The effects will occur the quickest if you haven’t eaten for a couple of hours in advance, this is also recommended to avoid possible stomach cramps. You probably won’t experience feelings of hunger during the trip, but it can be very nice to taste different flavours. Sugar can also help to give you energy. (Organic) fruit is the best choice and also tastes best during a mushroom trip because it is natural.
Provide plenty of water, headaches the next day can occur if you get dehydrated during the trip.
The effects of a trip are largely determined by your mood. It is important that you are comfortable and open to what is coming at you. Breathing deeply and not resisting helps enormously to make the trip run organically.
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.
Usage
After harvesting your kit, you can keep the fresh mushrooms in the fridge for about a week. Since you will probably have more than enough for several trips, you can only keep the mushrooms for a long time by drying them. Note: this is forbidden in the Netherlands! You can consume magic mushrooms in different ways. The easiest way is to weigh your dose and eat it. The taste is not so great, so making a tea is a good alternative to improve the taste by adding herbs and a little honey.
Start cultivating magic mushrooms
Growing with a Fresh Mushrooms Grow Kit is as easy as can be. Thanks to a completely colonised substrate, these kits are extremely low maintenance. There is no need to soak or spray them to get them going for the first flush. All you need is the right growing conditions and some patience!
Important:
These kits are 100% ready to grow.
DO NOT submerge them for a soak.
DO NOT spray the kits – you can just leave them in the bag without opening it.
DO NOT use aluminium foil when growing mushrooms; it is not necessary for these kits.
DO NOT breath into the bag.
ALWAYS wash hands before working with a grow kit.

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. Mushroom Grow kit Ecuador

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.
