Before you start the process of growing your very own psychedelic mushroom, it is critical that you maintain cleanliness at all times. It is important that you wash your hands first before touching your supplies. Use an antibacterial soap and warm water when washing your hands. Then you need to rub it with alcohol (isopropyl). Make sure that all the materials and the supplies that you need are within your reach. Aside from making sure that everything is clean, it is also important that you keep things organized. Organizing your supplies is necessary in order for you to work efficiently.
Steps in Growing Psychedelic Mushroom
- You need to prepare your substrate first. Use your jar and place the brown rice flour and vermiculite. There are also other psychedelic mushroom growers out there who are using cow dung or coffee ground instead of brown rice flour. In every 150 mil vermiculite, make sure that you add 50 ml of brown rice flour. Then add water. You need to make sure that you do not put in too much water. Stir the mixture well and make sure that you drained the excess water.
- You will then get an aluminum foil and put it in the middle of the jar. Make sure that you poke 4 holes into the very edge of each lid. Use hammer and nail when poking for holes. You will then fold the edges of the aluminum foil and make sure that you press them together.
- Time to sterilize your substrate. Since we will not be using a pressure cooker, what you need is a big pot with a lid. Using this method is as effective as using a pressure cooker, except that you boil the jars that contain your substrate into the big pot. Make sure that you cover the pot and turn the heat on up to an hour and a half. Bear in mind that evaporation can happen and so you need to add some water from time to time. Let it cool for 6 hours but it is recommended that you let it cool overnight.
- After the pot has cooled down, you are now ready to sterilize your spore syringe. Use an alcohol lamp and then make sure that you shake the spore syringe to avoid any spore clumps. Pierce the foil using the needle and then push the plunger and inject the spores. Repeat the steps to all jars.
- Then it is time for you to incubate the substrate. Make sure that you keep your substrate in an area where there is less moisture. It should be dark and warm. Be observant and check your jars or containers from time to time. Check if there are any shrooms popping out after 3 to 5 days. When the hats have fully opened, then it is time for you to harvest the psychedelic mushrooms.
