Do you want to buy magic mushrooms, but worry that growing them yourself is too complicated? Ready-to-eat magic mushrooms are no longer available, but a complete magic mushroom grow kit is the perfect alternative.
Growing your own magic mushrooms might sound like work for a laboratory expert. Fortunately, with the grow kits from Novus Fumus, the hard work has already been done for you. Upon delivery, our kits are fully filled with strong and healthy mycelium (the basis of the mushroom).
You only need to add water and ensure the right temperature. Nature does the rest! Within a few weeks, you can easily harvest your own fresh magic mushrooms. With the right care, you can effortlessly get 2 to 4 harvests (flushes) from a single grow kit.
What is a Magic Mushroom Grow Kit?
A magic mushroom grow kit is a complete, ready-to-use set that contains everything you need to grow magic mushrooms on your own. The grow kit consists of a sealed container with a substrate (nutrient base) that is already fully colonized with white, stringy Psilocybe cubensis mycelium. This mycelium is the living network of the fungus from which the mushrooms grow.
With a grow kit from Novus Fumus, the hardest work is already done for you. You no longer need to sterilize the substrate or inject it with spores yourself. All you have to do is activate the grow kit with lukewarm water and place it inside the included grow bag. As soon as you keep the grow kit at the right temperature (ideally between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius), the mushrooms will grow automatically.
Magic Mushrooms vs. Magic Truffles: What is the Difference?
Magic truffles and magic mushrooms contain the exact same active ingredients, but they differ in their growth pattern and strength. The main biological difference is that magic mushrooms grow above ground, while truffles (sclerotia) develop underground as compact lumps.
Another difference is their final potency. Dried magic mushrooms are generally significantly stronger than magic truffles. This means you need to take less of the magic mushrooms to experience a stronger effect.
Growing Magic Mushrooms Yourself
Because not every grow kit has the same instructions, there is no universal step-by-step plan that applies to every kit. Therefore, always check the specific magic mushroom cultivation instructions that come with your product for the exact steps. Still, a successful cultivation always relies on three essential basic rules: strict hygiene, the correct temperature, and high humidity.
Basic Rules
Regardless of which grow kit you choose, always keep these basic conditions in mind to maximize your yield and prevent contamination:
- Work 100% sterile: Contamination is the number one reason a cultivation fails. Just one unwashed hand can contaminate the entire kit. Always wash your hands thoroughly and clean the outside of the grow kit before touching it.
- The right temperature: Magic mushrooms love a stable, warm environment. Generally, keep the temperature between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius (or up to 28 degrees, depending on the species). However, never place the grow kit in direct sunlight, directly under a lamp, or right on a hot radiator.
- High humidity: The mycelium needs a humid environment to form mushrooms. Make sure condensation is always visible on the inside of the grow bag during cultivation. If necessary, use a spray bottle (on mist setting) to dampen the inside of the bag, but never spray directly onto the kit itself.
- Multiple Flushes: Don't throw away the grow kit after the first harvest! One kit usually provides 2 to 4 flushes (harvest rounds). You often need to submerge the kit in cold water (a 'dunk') to activate the next round.
Harvesting, Drying, and Storing Magic Mushrooms
Correctly harvesting, drying, and storing magic mushrooms is essential to preserve the active ingredients and extend their shelf life.
When to harvest?
The ideal time to harvest is exactly when the veil underneath the cap of the magic mushroom is about to tear, but is still just intact. If you wait too long and the caps open, they will release their spores. These spores cause black, dark brown, or dark purple stains on the magic mushrooms growing underneath. Although this does not spoil the mushrooms, it is better to prevent it. Harvest the mushroom by grabbing the stem at the base and pulling it out of the grow kit as completely as possible with a gentle twisting motion (left and right).
Blue bruising or mold?
It is completely normal for magic mushrooms to show a blue or blue-green discoloration after harvesting. This is a natural reaction process (oxidation) and is absolutely not mold. Real mold (contamination), on the other hand, can be recognized by a clear grey-green, downy layer of fuzz. If in doubt, use your senses: healthy magic mushrooms smell like fresh mushrooms or rye bread and taste slightly bitter with a cardboard-like texture.
How to dry and store magic mushrooms?
Although you can eat magic mushrooms fresh, drying allows you to store them much longer and makes the portions smaller. Start drying immediately after harvesting. Place the intact magic mushrooms spread out on cardboard, a clean plate, or a baking sheet covered with paper towels, ensuring they do not touch each other. Cover the whole setup with a tea towel (for example, like a tent over a glass) and place it in a safe spot out of reach of children and pets. Replace the paper towels daily until the magic mushrooms are completely dry. You can also use a fan, but make sure it is not pointed directly at the magic mushrooms.
Store the dried magic mushrooms for future trip sessions in an airtight resealable bag or glass jar in a cool, dark place. For maximum shelf life, add a silica gel packet and an oxygen absorber to the packaging. This prevents moisture and oxygen from damaging the magic mushrooms, keeping them in perfect condition for months or even years.
The Use and Effect of Magic Mushrooms
Using magic mushrooms offers an intense psychedelic experience that lasts between 5 and 8 hours, depending on the dose. To ensure this experience is as safe and positive as possible, preparation is the absolute first step in the process.
Step 1: Preparation (Set, Setting, and Safety)
The 'setting' (your physical environment and social company) almost completely determines how your trip will go. Only use magic mushrooms in a safe, familiar environment and always ensure a sober trip sitter is present. Follow these rules for a safe preparation:
- Top locations: Choose your own home, a good friend's house, or a quiet, natural environment like the forest or the dunes.
- Bad locations (No-Go): Avoid crowded places such as festivals, concerts, and public streets. You cannot filter sensory triggers here, which increases the chance of an overwhelming experience or panic.
- Tolerance and Safety: Magic mushrooms are not physically addictive because your body builds a natural tolerance immediately after ingestion by blocking serotonin receptors. Always wait several days before taking a new dose, otherwise it will have no effect.
Step 2: How can you best consume magic mushrooms?
The most effective method is simply eating the magic mushrooms raw and chewing them well. Do not eat or drink anything (except water) for at least 3 hours before ingestion, so the active ingredients are fully absorbed and nausea is prevented. If you do not like the bitter, cardboard-like taste, you can use one of these popular alternatives:
- Making magic mushroom tea: Use water between 70-75°C (never boiling water, as this destroys the psilocybin) and let the finely chopped magic mushrooms steep for 20 minutes. Add fresh ginger, licorice, or blue lotus for flavor.
- The Magic Mushroom Burger: Make a regular hamburger and top it with unheated magic mushrooms. Absolutely do not add cheese, as combining cheese with magic mushrooms causes severe nausea.
- Swallow and rinse: Chew the magic mushrooms very briefly, swallow them immediately, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water, and brush your teeth afterward.
Step 3: The timeline of a Magic Mushroom Trip
Once you have consumed the magic mushrooms, the trip follows a predictable rhythm of waves. Hallucinations do not mean seeing gnomes, but show up as breathing objects, patterns, and intense color changes.
- Onset (20 to 60 minutes): The effects start slowly. You might experience weak legs, tingling sensations, dilated pupils, and giggling fits. Never take an extra dose if you don't feel anything after an hour.
- Peak (2 to 4 hours after ingestion): The highest point. This is the moment of the strongest emotions, deep philosophical thoughts, and vivid visual hallucinations.
- Come down: The effects fade away in waves. You will feel a warm glow ('afterglow') and will likely have very vivid dreams. Sometimes, it can feel like you have been on a mental journey for a week during the days that follow.
Microdosing
Besides recreational tripping, many people use magic mushrooms or magic truffles for microdosing. This involves taking a fraction of a normal dose, so you do not experience hallucinations but still benefit from increased focus and creativity. The Mexican, Thai, and B+ strains are perfectly suited for this.
Which Magic Mushroom Grow Kit Should I Buy?
A successful cultivation always starts with choosing the right mushroom strain. Selecting a specific strain (the variety) directly determines the difficulty of growing, the growth speed, the yield, and the final strength of the magic mushrooms.
The difference between Species and Strain
There are hundreds of psychedelic mushroom species worldwide, but in the growing world, we make a clear distinction:
- The species (Psilocybe cubensis): Almost all commercial grow kits contain this species. This mushroom thrives perfectly in a warm climate and is extremely easy to grow in a closed container.
- The strain (the variety): Within the cubensis species, there are countless varieties (strains) with unique characteristics and strengths.
- Exceptions: Other species, such as the Panaeolus cyanescens (also known as Copelandia), require much more growing experience and a stricter climate.
The Best Strains for Beginners
For beginner growers, forgiving strains are the absolute top choice. They handle temperature fluctuations well, deliver a high yield, and guarantee a mild, clear trip. The best options are:
- Golden Teacher: A highly reliable strain that provides a clear and philosophical experience.
- B+: Grows under almost all conditions and is extremely popular and easy for beginners.
- Mexican & Thai: Classic strains that offer a cheerful, energetic trip and are highly resistant to beginner mistakes.
Powerful Strains for Experienced Psychonauts
Advanced users looking for a more intense experience should choose the following powerful strains:
- McKennaii: Delivers a deep, highly visual trip and is significantly more powerful than the beginner strains.
- Copelandia (Panaeolus cyanescens): Extremely potent and powerful, but very demanding in terms of care and climate control.
Why buy a magic mushroom grow kit at Novus Fumus?
Ready-to-use magic mushrooms are no longer legally available, but a complete magic mushroom grow kit from Novus Fumus is the perfect alternative. Growing your own magic mushrooms does not require specialized laboratory knowledge. Upon delivery, each grow kit comes directly with a nutrient medium (substrate) that is already fully colonized with strong, healthy mycelium. This means you don't have to inject any spores or sterilize substrates yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
My grow kit has a blue spot upon arrival, what is this?
Don't worry, this is absolutely not mold or contamination. The mycelium is a living organism. When it gets slightly bumped or pressed during transport, a natural reaction occurs. The blue spot is simply oxidized psilocybin. Your grow kit is completely healthy and uninfected; you can safely start growing immediately.
How many magic mushrooms should I take?
The correct dosage depends on your body weight, the chosen strain, and whether your magic mushrooms are fresh or dried. Because fresh mushrooms contain a lot of moisture, you need significantly more of them in grams compared to dried ones. We highly recommend using an online dosage calculator.
How long does it take for the first magic mushrooms to grow?
After activating the grow kit, it takes about 2 weeks at an optimal temperature of 20 to 25 degrees Celsius before the first small magic mushrooms (pins) become visible. With some strains, this might take a little longer; be patient and ensure the humidity inside the bag remains consistently high.
I see mold or white fuzz on my grow kit, what now?
White, fluffy fuzz at the bottom or around the base of the magic mushroom stems is simply healthy mycelium looking for oxygen; you don't need to worry about this. True contamination can be clearly recognized by a grayish-green, fuzzy mold. If your grow kit turns green, it is contaminated and unfortunately cannot be saved.
How long do magic mushrooms stay in your system?
Psilocybin is broken down and metabolized by the body very quickly. Within a few hours after the trip, the substance has usually completely disappeared from your blood and saliva. Only specific, highly sensitive urine and hair tests can still detect the presence of psychedelic substances after this timeframe.
What is psilohuasca?
Psilohuasca is a combination of psilocybin (from magic mushrooms or magic truffles) and an MAOI (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor, like the Banisteriopsis caapi plant). The MAOI slows down the breakdown of psilocybin in the stomach, resulting in a much longer and extremely intense trip similar to an Ayahuasca experience. This is strictly for very experienced users under professional guidance.
What are magic mushroom drops?
Magic mushroom drops are liquid extracts in which the active substances psilocybin and psilocin are dissolved in a concentrated form. Unlike living grow kits or unprocessed magic truffles, these drops are considered a processed product (an extract) containing psilocybin. Because of this, producing and selling magic mushroom drops is illegal.
How do I get out of a bad trip and what is a trip stopper?
If you unexpectedly find yourself in an unpleasant trip, staying calm and changing your environment (for example, moving to a brighter room or playing different music) is the first step. You can diminish the effects faster by consuming sugar and sweet beverages. A 'Trip Stopper' is a special product you can buy in advance, often consisting of a combination of valerian (to calm down) and dextrose/sugar (to accelerate the breakdown of psilocybin and soften the peak of the trip).
Can I combine magic mushrooms with alcohol or other drugs?
No, combining magic mushrooms with alcohol, cannabis, or other drugs is strongly discouraged for a safe trip. Mixing substances makes the effects unpredictable, significantly increases the risk of a bad trip, and can cause severe nausea. Always consume magic mushrooms on an empty stomach and drink only water or caffeine-free herbal tea with them.
Are magic mushrooms addictive?
No, magic mushrooms are not physically addictive. The human body immediately builds a tolerance to psilocybin after ingestion. This means you build up a tolerance very quickly: if you take magic mushrooms again the next day, you will barely feel anything because your serotonin receptors are blocked. This unique, natural mechanism prevents physical dependence.
What are 'fuzzy feet' (white fuzz at the bottom) and what should I do?
If you see white, fluffy fuzz growing at the base of the mushroom stems, this is referred to in the growing community as 'fuzzy feet'. This is completely harmless mycelium and absolutely not mold or contamination. However, it is a clear signal that there is too much CO2 in the grow bag and the magic mushrooms need more oxygen. You can easily solve this by briefly opening the grow bag more often (for example, twice a day) to let in some extra fresh air.
