Mushroom grow kits

How does a grow kit work?

A mushroom growing kit consists of a container filled with a growing medium that has already fully developed. There’s very little for you to do. Just place the container in the right spot and maintain the proper humidity. The manual explains step by step what you need to do. It’s a fun way to learn more about the life cycle of mushrooms.

Pay close attention to hygiene. Wash your hands before touching the set, and don't open the container more often than necessary. This will prevent mold or bacteria from growing.

Which type will you choose?

Golden Teacher is a well-known classic and is considered easy for beginners. B+ and Mazatapec are also popular. Cambodian, Thai, Colombian, Ecuadorian, and Mexican are named after the region where the variety originates. McKennaii and Hawaiian Copelandia are more suited for enthusiasts. You can read about the characteristics of each strain on its respective product page.

The Right Spot in the House

A grow kit needs a stable temperature. A spot in the living room often works well, as long as the kit isn't in direct sunlight. Avoid drafts and areas near the heater. A table or cabinet at eye level is convenient, because then you can easily monitor the growth.

Moisture is just as important as heat. Many kits come with a plastic bag or a lid with small holes. This keeps the air around the soil moist. Check the kit briefly every day. Do you see green or black spots? If so, something has probably gone wrong. In that case, throw the kit away and don’t open it again indoors.

Legislation and Responsibility

The rules regarding mushroom cultivation vary by country. Fresh and dried magic mushrooms are prohibited in the Netherlands. Therefore, always check the regulations in your area before ordering a cultivation kit. We sell cultivation kits exclusively to adults 18 years of age or older.

Store any grow kits you aren't using yet in a cool place. Be sure to start using them soon, though, because the growing medium won't stay fresh indefinitely.
