Magic Mushrooms

Magic mushrooms have become better known as "shrooms" or "magic shrooms." These hallucinogenic mushrooms contain the active substances psilocybin, psilocin, and a few others. While these substances are similar to DMT, a naturally occurring hallucinogenic compound in the body, magic mushrooms are probably more familiar to most people in most parts of the world.

Types of Magic Mushrooms

There are hundreds of types of magic mushrooms that contain psilocybin. Some are definitely not suitable for consumption, but others certainly are. Below is a brief overview of the best magic mushroom varieties.

Psilocybe cubensis | The go-to variety when you think of magic mushrooms. There are now countless easy-to-cultivate strains available as grow kits. It's no surprise that most mushroom cultivation kits we sell are also related to the original cubensis that R. Gordon Wasson brought back from Mexico in 1956. The Life magazine article that followed was the starting point for the global use of magic mushrooms.
Psilocybe semilanceata | The pointed liberty cap can be found in temperate grasslands all over the world. It is very likely that the Vikings used this variety to communicate with their ancestors and a pantheon of gods during their colonization of half of Europe.
Panaeolus cyanescens | Also known as "copelandia," "Hawaiians," or "blue meanies." This variety is gaining popularity as cultivation methods have become easier due to increasing knowledge. It contains more active substances per gram than the average cubensis but is a bit trickier to cultivate. This makes it a fun challenge for both the grower and the person consuming the magic mushrooms.
Psilocybe azurescens | A true outdoor mushroom that prefers hardwood. Discovered relatively recently by Paul Stamets, the mushroom expert who taught himself everything in the field. Azurescens is still the most potent magic mushroom to this day.

Are Magic Mushrooms Legal?

You can't buy (ready-made) magic mushrooms in stores anymore, but you can grow them with a magic mushroom cultivation kit, provided it is legal in the country where you do so (such as in the Netherlands). Magic mushrooms are natural, which is one reason why they are more popular than synthetic psychedelics like LSD or 2C-B, which are also illegal.

All ready-made magic mushrooms have been illegal for recreational use in the Netherlands since 2008. This left two alternatives: magic truffles (Psilocybe sclerotia), which are underground growths of magic mushrooms containing the same psychoactive substances psilocin and psilocybin. This legal alternative to magic mushrooms provides the same psychedelic effects. The other alternative is to grow magic mushrooms yourself, and that's exactly what this category is intended for.

Growing magic mushrooms is quite simple. On this page, you can choose from various magic mushroom cultivation kits. Check the product information for the specifications of each type of magic mushroom. Once you've received the kit at home, you can start. Inside the box, you'll find a container with 'cake' inside, which is what we call the substrate containing the mushroom mycelium (roots) and where the mushrooms grow from. In addition to the cake, you'll get a special cultivation bag and paperclips to seal it. That's all you need for growing magic mushrooms. Each product page provides more information and sometimes downloadable documentation to guide you step by step in growing magic mushrooms.

Basic Rules for Growing Magic Mushrooms

Growing magic mushrooms with a magic mushroom grow kit is not difficult, but you need to know what you're doing. There are a few basic rules that you should always follow to avoid failure in growing magic mushrooms. Here are some basic rules to give you an idea of how a magic mushroom grow kit works (the indicated temperature and humidity apply to the most common cubensis magic mushrooms and not to copelandia, liberty caps, or azurescens magic mushrooms):

Work Extremely Clean | A magic mushroom grow kit is extremely sensitive to infections. Therefore, it is very important to work as cleanly as possible when handling the kit. Wash and disinfect your hands or, for best results, use gloves. Even breathing on a magic mushroom cultivation kit can be harmful, as your breath can contaminate the kit and cause it to mold (in the wrong way).
Temperature | A magic mushroom cultivation kit needs to be kept warm. If you're growing magic mushrooms, make sure the kit is in a room where the temperature is between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F). The ideal temperature is 23.5°C (74.3°F), which is where your magic mushrooms will feel the most comfortable.
Humid Environment | Magic mushrooms are cultivated only in a humid environment. That's why you place them in a sealed bag with a layer of water. Such a bag is neatly included with our magic mushroom cultivation kits. Ideally, you want condensation to be present inside the bag throughout the entire growth period, as the mushrooms love it.
Fresh Air / Evaporation | Just like us, magic mushrooms breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. By opening the bag every day and giving it a little shake, you not only refresh the air but also facilitate the evaporation of water droplets on the cultivation kit. This is the number one trigger that makes the magic mushrooms emerge!

These are just the basic rules. For a more detailed guide, refer to the information provided with each grow kit.

Types of Magic Mushrooms: Which Strain is Right for You?

We have a growing number of magic mushroom strains. To give you an idea of the differences between the strains of the cubensis variety, we have listed some characteristics for you.

B+ | Is ease of cultivation important to you? Then choose this one! Especially if you're trying to grow magic mushrooms for the first time, B+ is a good choice.
Thai, Ecuador, Mexican, Colombian, Cambodian, etc. | Each country has its own cultivation environment, traditions, and shamans. We love offering you a selection from as many regions as possible to let you experience the differences for yourself. In terms of yield, ease of cultivation, and strength, they are all quite comparable, but they each have their own unique appearance. Try experimenting and see which one suits you best.
Golden Teacher Magic Mushroom Grow Kit | With a Golden Teacher magic mushroom grow kit, you're taking a step up. This variety is relatively strong compared to others. The philosophical magic mushrooms provide strong visual effects and fantastic spiritual experiences. The cap of these magic mushrooms can grow up to 8 centimeters wide. However, make sure there's enough evaporation.
McKennaii Magic Mushroom Grow Kit | The strongest cubensis in our range. They bear the name of Terrence McKenna, who put magic mushrooms on the map worldwide. Want to experience a powerful trip? Go for McKennaii magic mushrooms. They will literally take you on a journey. Experience unprecedented visual effects, gain new insights into yourself, and go completely out of this world with these potent magic mushrooms. But, as with all magic mushrooms, dosage, set, and setting are more important for the trip than the specific magic mushroom variety.

Which Magic Mushroom is the Strongest?

The question "which magic mushroom is the strongest" comes up frequently. That would be the Psilocybe azurescens. However, it only grows well outdoors and is complex to cultivate on your own. What might be more convenient for you is the strongest magic mushroom that you can still cultivate indoors. Allow us to introduce you to Panaeolus cyanescens. Our strongest magic mushroom grow kit!

Panaeolus cyanescens grow kit "Hawaiians" | Has the question "which magic mushroom is the strongest" been on your mind for a while? Look no further! This is our strongest magic mushroom that grows indoors in a complete all-in-one grow kit. These magic mushrooms are also known by the names Hawaiian, Blue Meanies, and Copelandia, paying tribute to a well-known biologist of the past. These magic mushrooms are 4 to 5 times stronger than the aforementioned ones, but they require more attention and actions from the grower. Therefore, carefully read the instructions on the Hawaiians product page. They, for example, need a top layer of soil that comes with the kit, different watering, and a slightly shorter growth period. They look completely different, but yes, these magic mushrooms come from a different family. Our strongest magic mushroom grow kit asks a bit more of you, but you'll get a lot in return.

The Effects of Magic Mushrooms

The advantage of dried magic mushrooms is that you need less to experience the same effect. For cubensis magic mushrooms, there's about a tenfold difference. Therefore, you can often reach a higher level with magic mushrooms by consuming less. Take between 1 and 5 grams of dried magic mushrooms for the desired effect. 5 grams is very intense—definitely do not exceed this dose with any type of magic mushroom.

Buying Magic Mushrooms? Opt for a Magic Mushroom Grow Kit!

Unfortunately, buying ready-made magic mushrooms is not possible. You will have to use a magic mushroom grow kit on this page. But don't worry. Depending on the variety, you'll have your own potent magic mushrooms of high quality within about 40 days. So, there's no need to buy ripe magic mushrooms.
