Check list of necessary items for mushroom growing
What do you need to buy for magic mushroom growing at home

Shopping list for the start of magic mushroom growing at home

The main stages in magic mushroom life cycle

Mushroom Cultivation process consists of 2 main stages:

Colonization period (first 2-6 weeks)

It is vegetative phase when mushroom mycelium is formed. This mycelium grab the nutrients from grain substrate in jars or bags.

Incubator for colonization period for psilocybin mushrooms
Incubator for psilocybin mushrooms colonization period


For this phase we need to prepare liquid spore syringe, spawn substrate, bags or jars for spawn substrate, make substrate sterilization, substrate inoculation, make mushroom cakes and cover them with casing layer, make an incubator (optional) and control the necessary microclimate conditions for this period:

  • dark place, no light at all
  • temperature 70-81°F or +21..+27°C
  • low humidity (30-55%)
Fruiting period (the next 6-8 weeks after colonization period)

It is a phase of pinhead and primordia formation, mushrooms fruit bodies growth, harvesting and flushing (mushrooms produce 3-5 flushes)

Growbox or fruiting chamber for magic mushrooms growing
Fruiting chamber (aka growbox) for psilocybin mushrooms fruiting period


For this phase, we need to:

  • prepare any kind of fruiting chamber (Growbox, MonoTub, Bottle Tek etc.)
  • reduce temperature to 70-74°F or +21..+23°C
  • maintain high humidity (90-95%)
  • provide fresh air exchange (FAE)
  • light

At first, it will be enough to prepare all stuff for the first stage — colonization period. If you succeed in it, then proceed for the second phase.

Newbie cultivators often don't know about the separation of these two stages of mushroom cultivation and confused the climate conditions.

Where do you start your magic mushroom cultivation? Alternatives and costs

❇️ Option 1 — GrowKit

Ready to use grow kit for beginners with basic stuff you need for the start can be found online (Amazon $149.98). Anyway you need to buy some stuff for convenient and sterile work.

To be honest, such kits are "so-so" quality, but good enough for the very first attempt.

For long term hobby better to make everything by your own. It's really worth it!

❇️ Option 2 — Do it yourself

It's super easy, fun and exciting process! You can setup your incubator (which is optional) and fruiting chamber (GrowBox or MonoTub) by your own. You even can use a bucket or big plastic bottle as fruiting chamber.

You don't need to buy everything at once. You just need time, passion and patience.

Our total costs were about $130 for the whole process described in this guide

Your very first growing can be organised cheaper. You can spend around 100$ for EVERYTHING you need. I'll show you how you can save money for the first time. My costs were 130$ for the whole growing process described in this guide, including equipment for simple Incubator, GrowBox and additional tools. This price doesn't include pressure cooker or autoclave, laminar flow hood and other expensive stuff for mycology.

As a result, it turned into 1883 grams of wet mushrooms (details about yield by strains and by flushes in Growing Stats section) and about a hundred spore prints. But the most important were emotions gained from 10 weeks of an exciting GROWING trip!

Let's move step by step and make a list of basic necessary stuff to start you own mushroom cultivation.

List of required items for colonization period

For the first stage of growing process you need to prepare:

Mushroom genetic material

Spore print in zip bag, or spore syringe, or liquid culture in syringe. This is the most important and indispensable participant of mushroom growing process.

Psilocybe cubensis spore print
Psilocybin mushroom spore print (Psilocybe Cubensis)
Whole grain

You need unhulled good quality grain suitable for food for people and animals. You can use organic grain or grain for sprouting for making grain substrate for inoculation.

To prepare grain substrate you need about 2lbs (1kg) of DRY grain per 4-5 jars (16 oz) or 2-3 jars (32 oz)

For grain substrate you can use: wheat berry, oats, barley, rye, wild bird seeds, popcorn, corn, brown rice, millet, sorghum. I suggest to start with wheat, oats, brown rice or millet.

🌾 Whole wheat berries.

Wheat for substrate for psilocybin mushrooms growing
Whole wheat for preparing spawn substrate for psilocybin mushrooms growing

🌾 Whole oat with husk.

Heater for incubator

To maintain the temperature in the incubator +25°...+27°C or 77-81°F for the first 2 weeks helps to speed up mycelium growth. However it's not mandatory and depends on the season of the year and temperature conditions in your home. So, during the hot season you can proceed without it, but during the cold season you'll need additional heating to speed up mycelium colonization.

As a heater for incubation box you can use shoe dryer.

Why is sterility so important for mushroom cultivation?

In the process of psilocybin mushrooms cultivation we are simulating natural conditions. In these conditions there is a fierce competition and fight for the nutrient substrate between psilocybe spores, bacteria, molds and viruses.

It is very easy for psilocybin mushrooms to lose this battle. But we can help them win!

How? By maintaining sterility at all stages of growing process.

Main sources of contamination with bacteria, molds and viruses are:

🔴 Grower himself (hands, hair, breath, snot, saliva).

Solution: gloves, face mask, medical cap and medical gown (or PE raincoat).

🔴 Workspace (microorganisms on surfaces and flying in the air).

Solution: disinfect the space, avoid draughts and ventilation during mycological manipulations, treat all surfaces with alcohol, use a glovebox or still air box (SAB).

🔴 Instruments and tools.

Solution: treatment with alcohol or sterilization.

🔴 Spore print.

Solution: use sterile spore print or antibiotic application.

🔴 Substrate.

Solution: use antibiotic or hydrogen peroxide for spawn substrate preparation and thorough substrate sterilization.

How to prepare work space for mycological manipulations?

Let us remind you that in this guide we use only the simplest and most accessible methods to organize growing psilocybin mushrooms at home. Our process was carried out without laboratory equipment, glove box and SAB which are desirable but not necessary. Still, let's say a few words about the ideal conditions for growing psilocybin mushrooms. Such conditions minimize the probability of mold spores, bacteria and viruses entering the substrate during liquid spore syringe preparation, during inoculation, casing process and during spore prints preparation.

Still, let's say a few words about the ideal conditions for growing psilocybin mushrooms. Such conditions minimize the probability of undesirable spores penetration, which leads to substrate contamination.

Laminar flow cabinet or Glove box

Glove box or laminar flow cabinet — a vacuum box, which is used in laboratories to ensure the sterility of the laboratory procedures carried out. The main disadvantages are its high cost, as well as a number of inconveniences arising from working with thin and fragile instruments while wearing thick gloves.

An alternative option is a DIY sealed glovebox made from a plastic container with a germicidal lamp and gloves. This is a simple and cheap option.

Still air box (SAB)

One more alternative simple option is still air box (SAB) for all mycological manipulation. It's easy to make. SAB is not sealed, it does not eliminate the possibility of contaminants, but it helps greatly reduce the risks of contamination by bacteria and spores flying in the air or live on surfaces.

Moreover, you can use such box as SAB, then use it as a growbox or make a monotub. So, no need to buy additional stuff.

What if there is no glovebox and SAB?

If you don't have such devices and don't want to bother with them for your very first growing experience, then take care about preparation the cleanest space at home, which isn't occupied by molds. Ideal for manipulation is a bedroom and a table thoroughly wiped with alcohol over the entire surface. Kitchen and bathroom are not recommended for mycological manipulations. Such places give more opportunities for further contamination.

Now you need to do the following:

  1. Clean your room before mycological manipulations.
  2. Turn off any ventilation or air conditioning, close windows and eliminate drafts.
  3. Wipe a table with alcohol (70%).
  4. Prepare your grower outfit: medical cap, face mask, gloves, and a PE raincoat or medical gown.

Prepared space, place, table and growers outfit for mycological manipulations


It's sad and funny that after a while this look became normal on the streets of all cities and countries. Suddenly, covid-19 turned everyone into growers :)

We don't know about the corona virus, but in the case of growing psilocybin mushrooms, this outfit is must have! No doubts, from your hair, from your face, from your clothes, through snot and saliva can fall a lot of "uninvited guests", which won't let the magic mushrooms come into the world.

Keep in mind! You should use your grower outfit at ALL stages of the growing! Just change gloves, if necessary. You can neglect anything, but not a sterility!

❗️❗️❗️The first and the most important rule of growing mushrooms is a STERILITY❗️❗️❗️

For now, we have everything prepared according to the lists above. Bags for our growing trip are packed! It's time to begin exciting journey that will last for the next 10 weeks
