Grow you own magic truffles.

- Either a spore syringe, a spore print or living mycelium from your strain of choice (Psilocybe mexicana
and Psilocybe tampanensis are both great strains that form truffles)
- Rye grass seeds without fungicidal. 300ml
- A jar with air filter
- A pressure cooker.
- Coffee/water mix (50/50) 150ml
- Gypsum.3ml

The Process:

1. The first thing you need to do is create your growing substrate. To make the growing substrate yourself,
you need to mix 300ml of rye grass seeds with 75ml of Coffee, 75ml Water and 3ml of gyspum.

2. Put the mix in a jar and Allow coffee/water to soak into seed for 2 hours then shake it.

3. Next you need to sterilize the substrate. To

do this place it in a pressure cooker.
4. Cook the jar and contents for 1 hour in a
pressure cooker. This will thoroughly
sterilize it.
5. Once the substrate has cooled down, you
can inoculate it with your syringe, spore
print or mycelium on agar. working in a glove
box is recommended to avoid contamination
in this step. Work fast and clean.
6. Shake the inoculated substrate to spread the spores or mycelium all over the substrate.
7. The mixture now needs to be kept warm in a dark place. The ideal temperature is between 21-25
degrees Celsius – so use an incubator or an insulated heating mat if your room temperature is lower.
8. The initial colonization process will take 2-4 weeks. Over this time, shake the mixture up every now
and again.

9. Once the colonization period has passed, and the substrate is fully colonized, all the hard work is done;
all you need now is patience. Leave your jar of colonized substrate in your dark warm environment,
and cease shaking it. This will allow the rapid development of hard, walnut looking lumps – your
truffles. These truffles can continue to grow for 3-4 months, increasing in size the longer you leave
them. How long you leave them will depend on how patient you are.
