The purpose of GrowKit.com is to provide information and guidance on the use of these products.

What are the best conditions for the GrowKit?
In nature, Magic Mushrooms thrive in warm, humid climates with consistent rainfall and plenty of fresh air. To achieve the best results, we recommend mimicking these conditions as closely as possible:
- Place the GrowKit in a location without direct sunlight.
- Maintain a steady temperature between 20–24 °C, even at night.
- Ensure there is always condensation inside the bag (mist daily if necessary).
- Open the bag several times a day to allow fresh air exchange (avoid breathing into the bag).
Is a heating mat necessary?
A heating mat can provide extra warmth, but it may also cause the temperature to rise too high, which is harmful for mushroom growth. The best results are achieved at room temperature between 20–24 °C. If you still choose to use a heating mat, do not place the GrowKit directly on it—always keep a buffer (such as a thick towel) in between.
My GrowKit has no mushrooms after 3–4 weeks. Is something wrong?
Most GrowKits will produce mushrooms within 3–4 weeks, but sometimes the process takes a little longer. Patience is important, just like in nature, some mushrooms develop faster than others. Be sure to check that your GrowKit has the correct growing conditions before assuming something is wrong.
What does it mean if my GrowKit develops green, grey, or black spots?
Green, grey, or black discoloration indicates contamination by unwanted molds. Unfortunately, a contaminated GrowKit cannot be salvaged. The most common causes of contamination include:
- Handling the kit without properly washing hands and arms.
- Setting up the GrowKit in an unclean environment.
- Breathing directly into the grow bag.
- Using dirty or contaminated water for misting.
Why has my GrowKit turned red/brown and developed a sour smell?
If your GrowKit turns red or brown and begins to smell sour, it is most likely contaminated with bacteria. Sadly, a bacterial infection means the GrowKit cannot be used. This type of contamination is usually the result of improper use or incorrect storage conditions. The most common causes of contamination include:
- Handling the kit without properly washing hands and arms.
- Setting up the GrowKit in an unclean environment.
- Breathing directly into the grow bag.
- Using dirty or contaminated water for misting.
Why has my GrowKit turned blue?
Magic Mushrooms contain the psychoactive substances psilocybin and psilocin. When the mycelium or mushrooms are bruised or stressed, they often develop a blue coloration. This is normal and usually caused by handling or fluctuations in moisture levels (too much or too little water).
