FAQs

Q: It's winter and my house is cold. Should I use a heating mat to warm it to 25°C?

A: While a heat mat will warm the kit, placing the mat directly under the kit will give direct heat, which will dry the bottom and be too hot, killing the mycelium.

We have produced an article with practical and economic methods to incubate your mushroom grow kits at home.

Q: Do you supply Golden Teacher kits or Psilocybin kits?

A: As live cultures or mycelium of magic mushrooms contain Psilocybin, we cannot supply these as Psilocybin is a controlled substance in the UK. More about the laws and the safe use of our magic mushroom spores and mushroom grow kits can be found here, in our product safety pages.

Q: Can I buy magic mushrooms in the UK?

A: Not legally, no.  Anything that contains psilocybin will be illegal in the UK. This is why we sell spores of magic mushrooms. They do not contain Psilocybin and are therefore legal in the UK. You can find further information on legality of magic mushrooms and their spores in a Wikipedia page about magic mushroom legality around the world.

Q: What temperature should I incubate my mushroom grow kits?

A: That depends on the species, but we generally suggest 25°C for incubation and 22°C for fruiting. For tips on how to control your temperatures for mushroom grow kits, we have an article with tips.
