McKennaii Growkit is a special set that allows for observation and research of this famous variety of Psilocybe cubensis - Cuban psilocybe. These mushrooms belong to the group of so-called hallucinogens, which results from their psychedelic properties. The content of psilocybin and other specific compounds makes them illegal in Poland. However, the mycelium present in the growkit does not contain any prohibited substances, which means it can be purchased for hobby purposes.
What is McKennaii growkit?
McKennaii growkit is an ideal solution for mycology enthusiasts who want to observe the early developmental stages of this Psilocybe cubensis strain. You can purchase this product in our online store Shroom.it. Besides the substrate itself, the growkit also includes a set of accessories. The condition for its purchase is agreeing that it will not be used for developing fruiting bodies. It's worth remembering that regulations differ in various countries. Some allow the cultivation of hallucinogenic mushrooms, but before undertaking such actions, one should always carefully familiarize themselves with the current restrictions in a given country.
Origin and history
McKennaii is a very specific strain of Psilocybe cubensis, whose origin has not been unequivocally established. Most sources attribute the detailed description of these mushrooms to Terence McKenna, a well-known American traveler, ethnobotanist, writer, philosopher, and lecturer. He is not officially recognized as the discoverer of this strain, but he became famous for numerous theories about consciousness-altering substances. His interests also included metaphysics. McKenna is the author of many books on psychedelic compounds. One of the most interesting positions is "Stoned Ape", a work on theories describing the use of psychedelic mushrooms by tribes from the Ice Age period. According to some reports, after Terence's death, McKennaii strain spores were found with him. The name of the mushrooms is therefore a tribute to the esteemed researcher.
Psilocybin content
The psychoactive properties of this strain are closely related to its high psilocybin content. This compound is present only in fully developed mushrooms, which is why our growkits do not contain it. Besides psilocybin, this strain also contains trace amounts of other hallucinogenic substances. Their potential consumption leads to very specific experiences for the user. Just as with the consumption of other strains of Psilocybe cubensis, even a relatively small dose can have a significant impact on sensory perception or mood. These mushrooms also affect the perception of consciousness, space, and time. Experiences related to taking this strain largely result from interactions with the environment. Various factors influence the quality, intensity, and duration of sensations, such as the psilocybin content in the dose or the individual's psychophysical state.
Specific properties
Mature mushrooms contain large amounts of psychedelic compounds, which is why in Poland their development cannot be allowed. Psilocybin has a very specific effect on the activation of serotonin receptors. This substance is chemically a tryptamine derivative, and its production occurs during the maturation process of Psilocybe cubensis. The reproduction of mushrooms itself takes place with the participation of reproductive cells, i.e., spores. Our online store also offers growkits containing other popular strains of Psilocybe cubensis, such as Golden Teacher, Mexican, Ecuadorian, Mazatapec, Thai, or Malabar. We produce the latter ourselves, while we source the others from trusted suppliers.
