An Introduction to Magic Mushrooms
have been credited in the olden times for out-of-body-experiences. Yes, our ancestors have been using these “shrooms” for religious and therapeutic endeavors. Nowadays, many people who have used and experienced the mind-altering effects of magic mushrooms testify that the fungi have given them one of the most vivid and significant spiritual experiences of their life.
The chemicals psilocybin and psilocin render magic mushrooms their ability for mind-altering experiences. The same chemicals are found in LSD and another psychedelic recreational drug. Magic Mushrooms, however, have several traits that set them apart from chemical substances: They are natural. They are affordable. They are non-addictive. These characteristics, together with the continuously increasing number of magic mushroom users are enough reasons for the climbing demand for the fungi.
Common Reasons for Growing Magic Mushrooms
Although magic mushrooms grow in most states in the U.S and Canada, there are times when the supply cannot sustain the demand, especially because there are certain conditions that have to be met in order for these mushrooms to grow. Sure, there is the option of ordering them from suppliers in other parts of the world, but the long wait can take its toll on the giddy user. Due to this, many users have taken to growing magic mushrooms on their own.
The Fastest Methods of Cultivating Magic Mushrooms
People, who aspire to cultivate magic mushrooms on their own, search for the fastest way to grow the fungi. Magic mushrooms prosper in a fertile and moist environment and those who wish to grow them have to replicate these two primary conditions in order to succeed.
1. Magic mushroom growing kits
For beginners, the best and fastest way to grow shrooms is by using magic mushroom growing kits. These kits are perfect for those who are not yet accustomed to growing the fungi from scratch. The growing kit comes with easy-to-follow instructions and skips all the grueling steps in creating favorable conditions for mushroom growth. Compared to the months of waiting time needed before harvest, most growing kits promise a psychedelic trip within a week!
Interested growers can order them online from Dark Web market dealers. There are communities in the Dark Web market who are more than willing to help the people looking for reliable sources of magic mushrooms and growing kits.
These ready-to-grow kits generally include a grow box with a substrate that already contains a living mycelium, a grow bag with an air filter, and some paperclips. The substrate is a mix of rye, vermiculite, and perlite. The initial development of the spore has already been performed in a laboratory. Basically, the only thing that needs to be done is to place the grow bag somewhere warm and humid for the shrooms to bloom. Also, make sure that the ideal conditions for growing magic mushrooms are met.
The grow kits can be utilized more than once. They can still produce more mushrooms after the first flush until the nutrients they contain deplete. However, the succeeding growths are comparatively lower than the initial. Growing kits typically yield around 300 to 400 grams of fresh magic mushrooms before they completely run out. Not bad!
2. The PF-Tek
The name PF-Tek stands for, Psylocybe Fanaticus Technique. It is the brain-child of, Robert “Psylocybe Fanaticus” McPherson, who revolutionized magic mushroom cultivation by developing a substrate conducive to growing psilocybin mushrooms. Instead of the traditional method of using a grain-based substrate, McPherson introduced the addition of vermiculite to give the mycelium more space to grow while mimicking the natural condition of fungi growth.
The first thing to think about and decide on is the species and strain of the psilocybin mushroom that to cultivate. There are plenty of choices offered by suppliers, but “Cubes,” “B+,” and “Golden Teacher” are the usual suggestions for beginners since they are more adaptable to changing conditions.
The PF-Tek uses spore syringes. These contain the spores that need to be sowed into the substrate. It is paramount to have a reputable and trusted supplier, as there have been reports of substandard spores circulating in the market. Many people who already had the experience of growing their own mushrooms opt to fill their own spore syringes instead of buying them.
There are plenty of methodologies involved in the PF-Tek method, summed up as follows:
- Purchasing the spore syringes
- Gathering the supplies needed
- Making/mixing the substrate
- Filling the jars with the magic mushroom substrate
- Preparing the jars for sterilization
- Sterilizing the substrate
- Inoculating and incubating the substrates
- Creating a fruiting chamber for the magic mushrooms
- Popping or birthing the “cakes”
- Waiting for the flush to grow
- Harvesting the magic mushrooms
The steps within the abovementioned processes are simple enough to understand, but they should be followed very carefully in order to come up with the desired end product.
This technique is relatively longer than using growing kits, but many growers vouch that it is the fastest effective method in cultivating magic mushrooms.
3. Using coffee grounds for substrate
This is a recent development in the cultivation of magic mushrooms. It has been suggested that coffee grounds are ideal for use as a substrate because it eliminates the process of substrate sterilization, which is a long but vital step when growing mushrooms through the PK-Tek Method. The reason for this is the fact that coffee grounds already went through a pasteurization process when they were brewed, so sterilizing them is no longer necessary.
Coffee grounds are also cost-efficient as they are readily available in most kitchens. Convenience aside, coffee grounds provide plenty of the elements and nutrients needed to foster fungi growth.
Plenty of growers who also advocate of the environment support using coffee grounds for the substrate. In their point of view, reusing them instead of throwing them out this will help the environment minimize urban generated waste. In the same regard, growing-kit manufacturing companies have also started using coffee grounds as a substrate.
