Cultivation: How to Grow Big Mex Magic Mushrooms
Growing Psilocybe mexicana follows these stages.
1. Strain Selection
Buy Psilocybe mexicana spores from a reputable supplier so the genetics are right.
2. Substrate Preparation
Nutrient-rich substrates work best:
- Rye grain: a solid nutritional base for mycelium.
- Brown rice flour (BRF): used in the PF Tek method and good for beginners.
- Coco coir and vermiculite: a popular mix that holds moisture well.
Sterilize the substrate in a pressure cooker or autoclave to kill contaminants.
3. Inoculation
Once the substrate has cooled, inoculate it with Psilocybe mexicana spores. Work in a sterile space, ideally a laminar flow hood or still air box.
4. Incubation
Keep the jars or bags somewhere dark and warm, at 75°F to 80°F (24°C to 27°C). Colonization usually takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on conditions and substrate.
5. Fruiting Conditions
After full colonization, move the substrate to a fruiting chamber with:
- Temperature: 70°F to 75°F (21°C to 24°C).
- Humidity: 85% to 95%.
- Light: indirect natural light or low artificial light on a 12-hour light/dark cycle.
- Fresh air exchange: regular ventilation so carbon dioxide doesn’t build up.
Mushrooms usually start forming within one to two weeks in good conditions. Harvest just before the veil under the cap breaks.
6. Harvesting
Remove mature mushrooms gently. Bruising can cost potency.
7. Drying and Storage
Dry Psilocybe mexicana soon after harvest, ideally in a food dehydrator on a low setting. Store it in airtight containers away from light and moisture.
