First-time growers often have many questions. Don’t let that stop you from getting started growing magic mushrooms! In this article we give you all the answers to the most frequently asked questions about growing mushrooms yourself. <\/p>\n

<\/b>What is the easiest way to grow magic mushrooms?<\/span><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n

The very easiest way to grow mushrooms is with a ready-made grow kit. You only need to add water and air to get a ready harvest within a few weeks. However, the instructions differ for each grow kit. Be sure to follow them carefully to maximize your harvest. <\/p>\n

<\/b>What types of magic mushrooms are there to grow?<\/span><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n

Magic mushrooms generally have the same effect thanks to the active ingredient they all contain, psilocybin. Still, we can tell from user experiences that one mushroom is not the other. Some mushrooms seem to give more visuals, while others make you feel mostly happy or smiley. <\/p>\n

<\/b>What is a substrate?<\/span><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n

When you don’t use a handy grow kit, you use what’s called a substrate as a nutrient medium for your mushrooms. Because mushrooms are actually fungi, growing them is slightly different from planting a seed and waiting. Fungi grow from spores<\/a> <\/span>and need a different soil than a regular houseplant. Good types of substrate are vermiculite<\/a><\/span>, rye grain<\/a>, coconut fiber, wood, straw or sawdust and even coffee grounds. <\/p>\n

<\/b>At what temperatures do magic mushrooms grow best?<\/span><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n

The ideal temperature for growing mushrooms is about 23 degrees (constant). With a thermal mat<\/a> <\/span>you can provide your grow kit with some extra warmth even at colder ambient temperatures. <\/p>\n\t
