Growbox Philosopher's stone

The mushroom psilocybe Mexicana A is a special mushroom that can produce truffles.This strain grows in the subtropical regions of Mexico, and has been found in Guatemala as well.

Usage

Put the kit in a place of total darkness. This is very important, because the mycelium can’t stand daylight! Ideal would be a constant temperature between 22 and 24 degrees C. It is possible to grow the truffles in a lower temperature, but this slows down the process of growing. A temperature that is higher than 24 degrees C is not recommended, because they might die and/or suffer from contamination. So never place the kit directly on the heating radiator.

Possible places to put the kit are: near the central heating system, on top of the refrigerator or near the ceiling in room that is heated on room temperature. Make sure the kit is in the dark, for instance in a closed carton box.

Harvest information:
The estimated harvest for a kit is 75 – 120 grams.

After a minimum of 16 weeks the philosophers stones can be harvested. The longer you wait, the larger the harvest will be. It definitely pays off to wait a bit longer before you harvest! Once the kit has been opened it has to be harvested completely to make sure there is no contamination. Never open the kit before you will actually harvest, no matter how tempting it might be!

Wash truffles after harvesting:
You can easily rub the truffles clean in a little bit of water (with a little brush for instance) and get rid of the final seeds of grass in a strainer. Then dry them of with a clean cloth and let them evaporate for a little while.

How to keep the truffles fresh:
After cleaning and evaporating, keep them in the refrigerator, for instance in a plastic box with some holes in the lid.

“This is an excellent product. I purchased 2 jars, (which were pre-inoculated on May 5th) and yielded approximately 156 grams of stones. I harvested on September 7th, so I imagine with a little more patience, the harvest would have been even larger. I was also quite impressed with the size of the stones; my largest came in at about 10 grams!! It is definitely in your best interest to purchase the kits, instead of buying fresh. (I have purchased both and haven’t been let down with either.) You pay right around half of the price and everything’s better when you grow it yourself! :P Oh, and for those of you who may think it’s too difficult/too much of a hassle, I’ve never grown mushrooms in my life, everything is already done for you. You just need a dark, temperature controlled place and a little patience. ”
