Growkit McKennaii

What is growkit McKennaii?

McKennaii Growkit is ideal for amateur mycologists who want to trace the early developmental stages of this Psilocybe cubensis cultivar. You can purchase this product from our online store Shroom.it. In addition to the substrate itself, the growkit also includes a set of accessories. The condition for its purchase is that you agree that it will not be used for the development of fruiting bodies. In doing so, it is worth remembering that regulations vary from country to country. Some of them allow the cultivation of hallucinogenic mushrooms, but you should always carefully read the current restrictions in your country before doing so.

Origins and history

McKennaii is a very specific variety of Psilocybe cubensis, the origin of which has not been clearly established. Most sources attribute the exact description of these mushrooms to Terence McKenna, who was a well-known American traveler, ethnobotanist, writer, philosopher and lecturer. He is not officially recognized as the discoverer of this variety, but he became famous for his numerous theories on substances that affect consciousness. His area of interest also included metaphysics. McKenna is the author of many books on psychedelic compounds. Among the most interesting items is, for example, "Stoned Ape," a work on theories describing the use of psychedelic mushrooms by Ice Age tribes. According to some reports, spores of the McKennaii variety were just found with Terence after his death. The name of the mushrooms is therefore a kind of tribute to the esteemed researcher.

Psilocybin content

The psychoactive properties of this variety are closely linked to its high psilocybin content. This compound is present only in the fully developed mushroom, so the growkits we offer do not have it. In addition to psilocybin, this variety also contains trace amounts of other substances with hallucinogenic effects. Their potential consumption leads to the induction of very specific sensations in the user. As with the consumption of other varieties of Cuban coot, even a fairly small dose can have a significant effect on sense perception or mood. The mushrooms also affect perceptions of consciousness, space and time. The experience of ingesting this variety is largely a result of interaction with the environment. Various factors, such as the psilocybin content of the dose or the individual psychophysical state of the user, affect the quality, intensity and length of the experience.

Specific properties

There are considerable amounts of psychedelic compounds in mature mushrooms, making it impossible to develop them in Poland. Psylocybin has a very specific effect on the activation of serotonin receptors. The substance is chemically a derivative of tryptamine, and its production is precisely in the process of maturation of Psilocybe cubensis. Fungal reproduction itself takes place with the help of germ cells, or spores. Our online store also offers growkits containing other popular varieties of Psilocybe cubensis, such as Golden Teacher, Mexican, Ecuadorian, Mazatapec, Thai or Malabar. We produce the latter ourselves, while we source the others from reliable suppliers.

What is the McKennaii growkit used for?

Growkit McKennaii is among the most popular kits for collectors who want to do their own research on the biological structure and chemical composition of Psilocybe cubensis. The mycelium present in our products does not contain any illegal alkaloids, but it must be used only as intended and in accordance with current regulations. The proposed variety is very accessible and appreciated by mycologists, due to its extremely interesting parameters and characteristics.
