Growing your own psilocybin mushrooms at home might sound like a wild idea, but it’s more achievable than ever! Our psilocybin at-home cultivation kits are designed to take the guesswork out of mushroom cultivation while encouraging a deeper connection to the natural process of growing your own medicine.
This beginner’s guide to psilocybin cultivation will help kick-start your mushroom-growing journey – you’ll find it’s a gratifying (and surprisingly simple) process.
Why Grow Your Own Psilocybin Mushrooms?
At-home cultivation isn’t just convenient; it’s an empowering way to grow your own psilocybin. By growing psilocybin mushrooms at home, you can build a deeper relationship with the medicine, allowing for a more personal understanding of its effects and benefits. The practice of cultivating a mushroom grow box also supports a sustainable and mindful lifestyle, encouraging a connection with nature and experiencing the natural process of growth.
A Thought Box from Grow Your Own Thoughts is a ready-made grow box allowing you to grow your own Golden Teacher or other psilocybin mushroom. This is a more affordable alternative to pre-grown products, making this approach not only rewarding but also cost-effective.

Step-by-Step: How to Grow Your Own Mushrooms
1. Unbox and Set Up Your Grow Kit
Open your ready-to-grow kit and get familiar with the components. The kit includes everything—from your premium propagator including colonized grain and substrate to your spray bottle and step by step instructions —making setup straightforward and beginner-friendly.
2. Choose a Clean, Consistent Environment
Place your grow kit in a clean, dark space with steady room temperature (around 70– 80°F). Bathrooms, closets, or tucked-away kitchen shelves are recommended.
3. Watch for Pins
Within about 10-14 days, you’ll notice tiny mushroom “pins” begin to emerge. This is the first sign your mushrooms are fruiting. It’s exciting stuff! Bring your Thought Box into the light, twist open the air vent on top (leaving the white filter patch in place), and spritz about 6-8 sprays of water inside the box once per day.
4. Let Them Grow
Allow your mushrooms to grow until the caps begin to flatten or open slightly and the veil begins to separate. It’s usually another 5–7 days after pinning. Keep up with daily misting and avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
5. Harvest with Care
When the mushrooms are ready, gently twist the mushrooms at the base and pull them out of the substrate, shaking off excess grain. Handle them with clean hands and care. (This is your hand grown medicine, after all.)
6. Dry Thoroughly
After harvesting, dry your mushrooms completely for long-term storage. Once dry, there are plenty of ways to use your mushrooms. You can grind them into a powder and use microdoses of the powder, adding them to a tea, a bite of peanut butter or applesauce, or even eating it directly.
