More about Mushroom Grow kit Mexican

The psilocybe cubensis is currently a very popular mushroom. They are easy to grow and you can expect a great harvest without any problems. In English she is often called ‘magic mushroom’. Mexico contains the largest variety of mushrooms containing the active ingredients psilocybin and psilocin, namely 76. Most of the mushrooms can be found in Mexico. Psilocybe means bald head and comes from the Greek ‘psilos’ (bald) and kube (head). This is probably due to the appearance of the mushroom.

In Non Nak Tha (Thailand) bones of cattle animals (zebu) have been found. The bones at this archaeological site (15,000 B.C.) come from animals that were used by humans. It can be deduced from this that man has already come into contact with magic mushrooms in that time. Psilocybe cubensis grows in this area on manure soil. For Terrence McKenna this was proof that the coexistence of humans and (cattle) animals meant that people in that time already had interaction with these mushrooms.

WARNING
Mushrooms are not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use if you are younger than 18 years. Do not drive motorized vehicles. See a doctor when taking medication. Not recommended for people with depression. Do not combine with alcohol or other 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.

Cultivation of Psilocybe cubensis Mexican

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.
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 Mexican

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.
