  • 1x Growbag – The bag has filters across the bag.
  • 2x paperclip – For closing the grow bag.

You need

  • Misting Bottle  – Misting is needed for the humidity level
  • Potable water – For misting and soaking
  • Clean environment – Work clean to give other fungi and bacteria (micro organisms) no chance to contaminate.

We recommend using

How to prepare the room and yourself before you begin

  • Close any open windows. Wind or draft may bring micro organisms that can contaminate the Magic Mushroom grow kit.
  • When taking out the grow box with the cake from the carton box, put it on a disinfected surface. If this surface would not be clean, micro organisms may attach to the grow box and will flourish inside the Magic Mushroom grow kit, and will contaminate the grow box.
  • Make sure you work with clean hands and arms. We recommend using surgical gloves or a good disinfectant when handling the kit. You should use a facemask to avoid breathing into the grow bag and on the cake.

Instructions: Starting the McKennaii Magic Mushroom grow kit

    1. Take the magic mushroom grow kit, plastic bag and paperclip out of the box. Remove the lid of the mushroom grow kit (store the lid properly). Rinse the lid under running water. You will need it again later (step 7).
    2. Place the mushroom grow kit without lid in the plastic grow bag (opening at the top). Slide the opening of the bag under the bottom with the micro perforation pointing upwards. The opening of the bag is now largely closed. You do not have to worry about air circulation.
    3. When you see the first small mushrooms ( called pins), you can put the grow bag upright. Do not water! The first magic mushrooms will be visible after about 1 week.
    4. Place the mushroom grow kit in an area with enough daylight and at a temperature between 18 °C and 28 °C. NEVER place the grow kit in direct sunlight. Although mushrooms will grow at almost any temperature above 15 °C, 23 °C is the ideal temperature for an optimal harvest. Special heat mats are available to ensure this temperature and not have to heat the entire room.
    5. When the mushrooms are slightly bigger as the pins keep the bag a bit open the entire time so the moisture can evaporate (Phase 2). Too much moisture is not good.

The first mushrooms will be visible after approximately 1 week. Your first harvest will be about a week later. Make sure that you harvest before the first spores begin to fall! Freshmushrooms grow kits produce their first harvest fairly quickly. The first buds are already visible after only 1 week. Low and high temperatures may slightly delay this growth process. It usually takes one to two weeks before the mushrooms are fully developed.

  1. These kits can produce several mushroom harvests. To do so, fill the kit with clean tap water after the first harvest. This process is known as cold shock. It breathes new life into the mycelium and ensures that enough moisture is present for the mushrooms to grow.
  2. Place the lid of the grow Kit back on the kit. Let the kit rest for 12 hours. Open a corner of the lid and drain the excess water. From here you can follow the instructions from step 1 again. This process can be repeated several times.

Growing with a heatingmat (use only for this brand)

Place the plastic bag with the Grow Kit in it on the heat mat. Switch the heat mat on. After two days switch the heat mat off and wait until the buds have developed, which usually takes between five and ten days. Then switch the heat mat on again and open the top of the bag a little so the moisture can evaporate.

What to do if the buds haven’t developed after ten days. Take the cake out of the plastic box, put it back in the plastic box on its side and start again with two days with the heat mat.

How to store the grow kit correctly

It is recommended to start the cultivation process right away. If you decide to start growing later, you may store themagic mushroom grow kit inside a Soaking Bag in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) for 4 weeks after the production date.

Temperature

The ideal temperature is 24°C. Do not have the temperature drop under 18°C and not exceed 29°C. To keep the temperature from dropping under the 18°C, you can use a thermo mat to maintain the ideal temperature. A thermo mat is a must-have in the winter or colder regions of the world.

Light

The magic mushroom grow kit only needs light for the mycelium to ‘understand’ it has reached the surface. Only then, mushrooms will grow. A few hours of fluorescent/artificial light or indirect sunlight a day is more than enough. Direct sunlight kills the mycelium, so avoid the sun to shine directly on the grow kit.

Mushrooms

If the conditions are optimal, you can expect the first small mushrooms (the pins) to appear between 7 and 10
days. This also depends on the strain. Some cubensis strains grow slower than others.

Flushes

The mushrooms come up in groups. This can be a small or large group. That depends on the strain. A growth like this is called a flush. Mushrooms are almost never ripe at the same time. You can get more than one flush out of a kit. The first two flushes are the largest. When more flushes come, they will be smaller than the previous one.

Picking

Mushrooms are ripe and should be picked when the veil between the hat and the stem has just torn. Don’t wait much longer. Use surgical gloves or disinfect your hands, wrists and arms. Pick the mushrooms that are ripe and let the others continue to grow. The cake has no top layer such as vermiculite. This makes is much easier to pick the mushrooms than with the standard grow kits. The mushrooms can easily be pulled out of the cake by holding them between thumb and index finger. They mushrooms let go almost immediately. When most of the larger mushrooms have been picked, also pick the smaller ones and the pins as well.

Mushrooms that grow from the sides

Mushrooms grow where the light reaches and where there is little penetrating resistance. Because the cake has light shining on the sides, the mushrooms might also grow there. It is hard to counter this and can be allowed. Some growers wrap the sides of the grow box in aluminum foil to keep the sides dark, but this doesn’t always work well.

When mushrooms grow there, they can be picked just before you soak the kit:

Clean hands! Take the grow box out of the bag and place it upside down on your other hand. Wiggle the plastic box so that the cake will fall out, onto your hand. The plastic box can be placed on a disinfectant surface. Now you have this hand free to pick the mushrooms from the sides of the cake. When all mushrooms are picked, you can place the cake back as it was, in the plastic box and continue to the soaking process.

The end

When no more mushrooms grow out of a grow kit after the second flush for at least three weeks, or when the Magic Mushroom grow kit turns green, red, grey or yellow; the grow kit can be disposed of.  The change in color is a sign that the grow kit is contaminated with another fungus or a bacteria. No more mushrooms will grow out of the Psilocybe cubensis Magic mushroom grow kit and the grow kit should be thrown away in the garbage outside.

Spores

When you are too late picking the mushrooms, they will drop their spores. The cake and the mushrooms will turn black/purple (some other cubensis strains red/brown) because of the spores. This is not really a problem; it just doesn’t look very pretty. When mushrooms release their spores, they also start to degrade and the active ingredients are breaking down. Mushrooms will lose some of their potency.

Philosophical strain Review by Marek
Fast delivery, easy to grow, large harvest, mild taste and strong mind stimulating effects. Reliable product. (Posted on 3/24/2021)
Satisfaction Review by Psychonaut

As always reliable and fast delivery abroad, I am extremely satisfied with the assortments. The store employees could still communicate via email when I ask them something about the goods, and that would be top. (Posted on 2/15/2021)
It will open your eyes Review by Ladislav
Great service, very fast order processing, and delivery to the Czech Republic in about a week. After my experience, I am extremely satisfied with McKenai mushrooms, so I don't want to reach for others.
The state of these mushrooms is very intense in terms of philosophy, perception of the spirit of nature, and research at higher levels of consciousness.
Along with consuming the broth from the seeds of Harmaly Multifacial, you will enter a world of a completely different level! (Posted on 1/12/2021)
Pretty good first impression Review by Aron
Rating
First time growing, the first and second flush was a pretty good amount but after that it got fewer and fewer. Alltogether yielded about 300g which became 30g dried up. For a good trip it took 1-1,8 for us (normal and above average man). So it was absolutely worthwile. (Posted on 11/24/2020)
Very good Review by Tudor

I ordered 2 Mckennai and they were both easy to grow. The final product was very good quality and potency. Quantiy was also good! I really recommend this strain, and it's definetly my favorite one until now :) (Posted on 11/18/2020)
Easy, low maintenance kit - strong trip Review by Harls
Rating
This kit was very simple to grow. Really hardly any effort required; however, with constant temperature control, the yield was still not great, about 200 grams total in 4 flushes. Also, they grew all over the sides of the container making harvest rather difficult. (Posted on 11/4/2020)
Great mushroom type and great kit Review by Tim

So far so good. Review by Zingaro

Fast shipping. Received grow kit three days after I paid. Followed instructions on preparing the kit and 12 days later first sprouts appeared. My room temperature remained a steady 26-27C. Hope to harvest soon. Will report back when that happens. (Posted on 9/12/2020)
Worst investment ever Review by Ines
Rating
I bought this kit and it came with mold and grown mushrooms. Once I’ve collected those mushrooms it never grew anything again. And the collected mushrooms had ZERO effect!!
Sad to say I’ll never order from magic mushroom shop again!!

MMS CUSTOMER SUPPORT EDIT: These are nature products so the result may turn out different than expected. Luckily we have a Customer Support Team, available to help out. I see that a colleague has sent you a new kit already and offered a fitting solution. (Posted on 7/30/2020)

Very good mushrooms Review by Nick

Very fast growing and big harvest. On my experience best psylocibe cubensis strain. (Posted on 5/31/2020)
Wonderful ! Review by Joseph
Rating
I’ve been buying from MMS for a few years now. The service is great. This time round I had a box that didn’t yield many mushrooms, I had a discussion with one of the guys and he sent me a new box which is in its 3rd cycle and has so far produced 2 big flushes. I take the mushrooms a few times a year for a mental “reset”, they really work wonders. This strain is strong and can take you to another realm if you so wish to go. Don’t hesitate!

Good effect but low yield Review by Chris
Rating
After my first grow kit (amazonians) got contaminated on the first flush I ordered the McKennaii and tried again. Every flush took about a week (from start to harvest) so that was surpisingly fast. The mushrooms look great and the effect was very good, these are great mushrooms except they are not very strong. I ate 3g dried and it felt like 2g of other stronger mushrooms, which would not be that bad but after I got 113g fresh from the first flush, the 2nd flush only gave me about 50g and the third flush was one lonely mushroom... Maybe I just got unlucky, I'll try the Mondo GKs next in hope that there will be a higher yield... (Posted on 5/15/2020)
Excellent Review by Adam
Rating
Starting about 10 days after the kit arrived, it starts sprouting like mad. Probably around 40 shrooms, different sizes. 1 large one is enough for a (mild) trip, so I've got a jar in the freezer with a dried supply that will last me for months. Had good times clubbing, and taking them at festivals. They brighten up the day, add a bit of energy and humour. (Posted on 5/12/2020)
Contaminated out of nothing Review by alexandros

Got three kits. One of them was mckennai. Did exactly same things for three but this kit contaminated. Shop never replied back for making up. (Posted on 5/8/2020)
Not good Review by alexandros
Rating
Waste of money .took three kits and I did exactly the same for three. One of them was Mckennai. Its was contaminated out of nowhere.Only this kit. So I can't say that it's a mistake from my side since the other two were fine by doing exactly the same. (Posted on 5/8/2020)
Four flushes with decreasing yields and potency Review by GMan
Rating
Again this might be down to the way I'm doing it but the yield was decreasing with every flush. First I got 15, then 8, then 4 then just 3 shrooms. At least this kit seems robust enough to survive the environment I'm growing in. Very quick to fruit. Saw pins on the 3rd day. Fruiting time goes down with each flush. Can see pins on second day and fully grown shrooms on 4th day from the second flush onwards (Posted on 5/8/2020)

Not extra potent, small yields Review by beloje
Rating
I'm really sorry, but this was just a total waste of money

So 4 main things here
-It took them 2-3 weeks for the first mushrooms to show
-Gave only about 2 waves of mushroom which again took forever to grow
-Not potent, they have the same potency as any cubensis so nothing special
-Very small yields, gave about 7g per wave so max a total of 15g per total

Something worth mentioning is that i ordered them in the holiday season before x-mas, so that may have influenced the quality of the product since there is a lot going on in that period

Bought 3 of these XP boxes thinking it will be awesome to try something stronger, took the same dose i usually do and felt nothing different. Tried multiple times in hopes of getting different results because everyday moody mood may also affect how you feel the shrooms. Unfortunately after testing them over a couple of months i can say they are not any special to other cubensis regards potency.

What i liked about them tho it' s their magical looks. Thjey are very mystical, having white dots on their caps just like amanita muscaria and grow very robust with dark brown chocolaty veins on their stems. Reminds me of dwarfs (Posted on 4/20/2020)
