100% mycelium mini grow kit

Why choose a 600cc mini grow kit?

The 600cc mini grow kits are the smartest choice when starting mushroom cultivation or trying multiple strains. At €22.90 per kit, you can discover which strain suits you best without major investment. These kits contain a substrate fully colonized with 100% mycelium, the underground network of fungal threads from which mushrooms grow. No fillers, no grain mixtures, just pure mycelium ready to fruit.

What does 100% mycelium mean?

Mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus, a network of microscopically thin threads (hyphae) that absorbs nutrients from the substrate. Conventional grow kits mix grain spawn with substrate, requiring the mycelium to spread first. Our FreshMushrooms kits come fully colonized, eliminating colonization time and minimizing contamination risk. Since 2009, we work exclusively with certified producers who have perfected this process.

Available strains for beginners and experienced growers

Each Psilocybe cubensis strain has unique characteristics. For beginners, we recommend Golden Teacher, a strain popular since the 1980s for its fast colonization, resistance to growing errors, and predictable effects. The B+ is equally beginner-friendly, known for large yields and adaptability to varying conditions. Mexican and Ecuadorian are classic strains with mild to moderate potency.

Experienced growers often choose McKennaii or Thai, strains with more intense effects. Note that potency varies per flush, as published research by Bigwood and Beug demonstrated. Caps typically contain higher psilocybin concentrations, while psilocin appears mainly in later flushes.

What's in the kit?

Each mini grow kit contains a 600cc container with fully colonized substrate, a filter bag for humidity with microperforation, and a paperclip for sealing. No additional materials needed. Set up the kit immediately upon arrival as these kits are fresh and cannot be stored.

Growing process step by step

Wash your hands thoroughly and preferably work with gloves and face mask. Remove the lid, rinse it and keep it. Place the kit without lid in the provided bag with microperforation facing up. Slide the opening under the bottom and close with the paperclip. Place the kit in a bright spot without direct sunlight at 20-25°C. After five to ten days the first pinheads appear. Once you see small mushrooms, place the bag upright. Do not spray, the kit regulates itself.

Harvesting and multiple flushes

Harvest when the veils under the caps just begin to tear but before spores drop. This is the moment of maximum potency. After the first harvest, you can reactivate the kit by filling it with clean tap water (cold shock), letting it rest for twelve hours and draining excess water. This process can be repeated three to five times for multiple flushes.

Mini versus medium and XL kits

The 600cc mini kits yield an average of 100-150 grams of fresh mushrooms over multiple flushes. Medium kits (1200cc) yield approximately double, XL kits (2100cc) even more. Mini kits are ideal for testing strains or personal use with limited space. Want larger yields? Check out our medium and XL grow kits.

Legislation and safe use

In the Netherlands, growing mushrooms for personal use is legal, but selling fresh mushrooms has been prohibited since December 2008. Sclerotia (truffles) fall outside this law. Within the EU, legislation varies by country, always check local rules. Our products are intended for adults only. Never combine with alcohol, medication, or if you have psychological conditions.
