[edit] The kit
The Myco-Farm provides a substrate, vermiculite, perlite and a humidity "tent". All the user has to provide is a syringe containing the spores of a species mushroom to be grown.
[edit] Controversy
Officially Myco-Farm is a "complete system for growing gourmet mushrooms at home". Due to the nature of the kit, some users use spores to grow illegal psychoactive mushrooms (commonly known as magic mushrooms). It is sometimes even sold with the spore of illegal mushrooms in the United Kingdom. This in itself is legal as the spores do not contain psilocybin, the active compound. The creator and owner of Myco-Farm discourages use of his creation for these purposes in countries in which cultivation of psychoactive mushrooms is illegal.
[edit] Availability
Although the kit is generally only available from small retailers and on the internet, the kit is used by mushroom and magic mushroom enthusiasts across Europe and some parts of America.
