What is a mushroom grow kit?

A mushroom grow kit is a complete package that allows you to grow your own Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms can grow. The set usually includes:

• A plastic container with a growing medium that is fully grown with mycelium (the “root network” of the mushroom).

• A breathable grow bag which ensures the right microclimate.

Growing with a mushroom grow kit takes just a few simple steps:

1. Unpack and prepare
