How to Grow Magic Mushrooms
From spores to harvest, learn cultivation methods that fit your space and experience level. Always check local laws before growing.
This hub collects PsyBear cultivation guides by method and experience level — from first-time sterile technique through monotub and outdoor grows. Cultivation of psilocybin-containing species remains illegal in most of the United States; always verify local law before acquiring spores or equipment. Start with the beginner guide, then explore PF Tek or monotub paths and match genetics from our strain directory.
Beginners Guide
Everything you need to start: equipment, sterilization basics, and your first grow from start to harvest.
Indoor Growing
Control temperature, humidity, and light for year-round cultivation in a closet, tent, or dedicated room.
Outdoor Growing
Grow in beds, mulch, or manure outdoors. Best in mild, humid climates with the right season and substrate.
Spores Guide
Understanding spore syringes, spore prints, and how to inoculate grain or substrate safely and cleanly.
PF Tek Method
The classic beginner-friendly tek using brown rice flour and vermiculite in half-pint jars.
Monotub Method
Larger-scale cultivation in plastic tubs with bulk substrate for higher yields. More setup, more harvest.
