Hi im considering growing magic mushrooms, i live with my parents so im not sure, does anyone here grow them or know any good guides?

Here is a good place to start (http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_mmgg.shtml). Mushroom cultivation is quite an easy thing to do.

It is easy, but your worst enemy is contamination. Something that is not easy to avoid if you are growing behind your parents back.

Where is the best place to buy spores? or grow kits from? (i live in the uk)

If you don't have a head shop in your local area you could travel to any city to find one and get a kit there or you can order online or do mailorder. You'll have to be careful due to the ban on mushie selling but you should be able to get a grow kit without hassle. Email these folk and you should be able to get a kit (http://www.allsalvia.co.uk/mushroom.htm)

What??!? No links to the shroomery??!?

The number one online resource for anything and everything shroomy.

For your first grow , I reccomend taking a look at the PF Tek -- very simple procedure.

My friend seems to think that you ca just find some cow shit and shoot spores into it and that's all there is to growing magic mushrooms. I tell him that you can't do that because you risk contamination and you need a sterile media to grow them in. I'm pretty much talking out of my ass though. I'm right aren't I?

Theoretical idea-

Would the best way to grow mushrooms to be keeping them in an enclosed temperature/humidity controled case? Like a big storage container with a light?

In bio I learned that the mushrooms only send up repoductive pieces(what you see above the ground) under ideal atmospheric conditions such as temp and humidity, so could you theoretically keep conditions perfect and have constant shrooms?

I think you should ask BLTC and check out their archived threads.

The home growing thread.

if u live in the uk u can by pre inoculated cakes u know? go to the shroomery
