Which grow kit to choose?

1094 Views

Which grow kit to choose? This is a question often asked by people who are just starting to get interested in mycology. A kit of this type contains a special substrate overgrown with mycelium of a specific variety of psychedelic mushrooms. A grow kit can be legally purchased and possessed for observational, research, and collector's purposes, and the choice of a specific kit is determined by various factors.

 

Which growkit to choose for beginners?

Which growkit should you choose to easily and safely start your adventure with mycelium observation? You can find many such kits in our online store Shroom.it, where products are specially prepared and stored in appropriate refrigerated conditions. These growkits contain mycelium of the Psilocybe cubensis species, also known as the Cuban psilocybe. Each of the available varieties has slightly different properties, providing mycologists with a wealth of interesting information. In addition to the mycelium, each kit also includes a set of accessories useful during the observation stage. The mycelium itself is in the form of colonized substrate based on grain seeds.

Choosing the right variety

Growkits available in our online store differ in various parameters that are worth considering when choosing a specific product. Each kit has a slightly different packaging color and different symbols or graphics that refer to specific varieties of the Psilocybe cubensis species. In our assortment, you will find growkits such as Malabar, Golden Teacher, McKennaii, Mazatapec, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Thai, or Mexican. One of the most characteristic features of all these mushrooms is their hallucinogenic properties, which result from the content of psychoactive substances - psilocybin and psilocin. It's worth remembering that possession of fruiting bodies is not legal in Poland. However, the growkit contains only mycelium, which is free from psychedelic substances and can be kept by collectors or researchers. In our company, we personally handle the production of the popular Malabar variety, which involves multiple stages and is carried out with full quality control, selection of appropriate genes, and a comprehensive approach to the entire developmental process. Other growkits are imported but also feature high quality.

Specific properties

One of the most popular varieties of Psilocybe cubensis is Golden Teacher. These mushrooms are often chosen by both beginner observers and experienced mycological researchers. Microscopic observation of this variety's mycelium can be very interesting due to its characteristic physical features. For beginners, we also recommend the Malabar growkit, which owes its name to its natural place of origin - the Malabar Coast. The McKenaii mycelium kit can also be a good choice. The Mazatapec growkit is another optimal proposition for beginners. This variety originates from areas inhabited by ancient Mayans and Aztecs, who used these mushrooms in various rituals.
