What is a grow kit?
A grow kit — often written as growkit — is a ready-made cultivation set designed for growing mushrooms or plants in controlled, home conditions. Inside the kit is a prepared substrate (also called a fruiting block), which has already been fully colonised by mycelium. At this stage the block has not yet been exposed to fruiting conditions such as fresh air, humidity cycles or light, which is why no mushrooms are growing yet.
The grow kits available in our store contain high-quality substrate colonised by the selected species of mycelium. This allows for simple, beginner-friendly cultivation without the need for advanced equipment, laboratory work or sterile inoculation techniques.
Is a grow kit legal?
The substrate contained in a growkit is legal in Poland as long as no fruiting bodies have developed. Mycelium alone does not contain psilocybin or psilocin, therefore possession of a growkit is not prohibited. This makes the growkit itself a legal product.
However, once mushrooms begin to grow, the situation changes. Mature fruiting bodies contain psilocybin, which is illegal in Poland and in most EU countries. Some regions — such as the Netherlands, Czech Republic or Portugal — have partially decriminalised personal possession of small amounts, but the general rule remains the same: growing and possessing psilocybin mushrooms is restricted.
Where are psilocybin mushrooms legal?
Psilocybin mushrooms are fully legal only in a few places worldwide. In countries such as the Bahamas or Jamaica, cultivation, possession and consumption are permitted. In several European countries — including the Czech Republic, Portugal and the Netherlands — psilocybin mushrooms are not legal, but personal use in private spaces is largely decriminalised.
Recently, more and more cities and states in the US have begun to relax laws around psychedelics. In select areas, the use of psilocybin is allowed for medical or therapeutic purposes, though typically only under professional supervision. These regulations change rapidly, which is why staying up to date is crucial.
Before travelling with the intention of participating in a psychedelic ceremony or purchasing mushrooms abroad, always check the current legislation of your destination. Official regulations can be reviewed, for example, on this list . Laws worldwide are continuously evolving in response to renewed scientific interest in psilocybin and its potential therapeutic effects.
We do not encourage the cultivation or consumption of psychoactive substances. This article is purely educational and reflects the author's private opinion.
The content on the psychodelicroom.pl website is educational, based on research, and expresses many opinions that should be treated with caution. We advise against using any substances that affect consciousness, as all such substances can both heal and be harmful. In particular, we advise against cultivating mushrooms from growkits in countries where it is illegal — including Poland — because it involves criminal liability. We recommend disposing of growkits purchased from us within 72 hours of receiving them.
