The ten grow kits our customers order most
- Golden Teacher: the classic all-rounder with golden caps and stable, forgiving growth, and our standard advice for a first grow.
- McKennaii: named after Terence McKenna, vigorous and dense with a strong reputation; rated moderate rather than easy.
- Amazonian: known for large fruiting bodies and a strong reputation, while still rated easy to grow.
- B+: one of the most forgiving strains we sell, coping well with less-than-perfect indoor conditions.
- Penis Envy: thick, dense mushrooms with a very strong reputation; slow, advanced and usually 2–3 smaller flushes.
- Cambodian: a fast-colonising strain from Cambodia with predictable growth cycles.
- PES Hawaii: a long-standing classic with golden-brown caps and steady indoor flushes.
- Mexicana: slender stems and light golden caps; a cubensis strain, not the separate species Psilocybe mexicana.
- Jedi Mind Fuck: dense clusters, thick stems and a strong reputation, sold as Large 1200 cc only.
- Mazatapec: a traditional strain named after the Mazatec region of Oaxaca, with slender, classic-looking fruits.
How this ranking works
The order is based on units sold in our own shop, nothing else. It reflects what growers come back for: reliable fruiting, a well-known strain and, for some, a strong reputation. It does not mean number one is stronger or gives bigger harvests than number ten. Some of the most-ordered strains, like McKennaii and Penis Envy, ask more of the grower, so check the difficulty column before you choose.

Frequently asked questions
Which magic mushroom grow kit is best for beginners?
Golden Teacher or B+. Both are rated easy on our difficulty scale, forgive small mistakes with temperature or air exchange, and are available in Medium 750 cc, Large 1200 cc and Extra Large 2100 cc. Golden Teacher is also the kit our customers order most.
Which magic mushroom grow kit is the strongest?
Of the top 10, Penis Envy has the strongest reputation and is commonly reported as very strong. McKennaii, Amazonian and Jedi Mind Fuck are commonly reported as strong. These are reputations, not guarantees: strength varies between mushrooms, flushes and growing conditions.
Is the most popular grow kit also the best one for me?
Not necessarily. Golden Teacher sells most because it is reliable and suits first-time growers, but an experienced grower may prefer McKennaii or Penis Envy. Choose on difficulty first, then on strain character.
Which top 10 kits come in all three sizes?
Eight of the ten: Golden Teacher, McKennaii, Amazonian, B+, Cambodian, PES Hawaii, Mexicana and Mazatapec come in Medium 750 cc, Large 1200 cc and Extra Large 2100 cc. Penis Envy and Jedi Mind Fuck are sold as Large 1200 cc only.
Do all top 10 kits grow the same way?
Yes. Every kit follows the same routine from the grow kit manual: a cold soak in the fridge, 150 ml of water in the filter bag and a steady 23–25 °C. The difference is how forgiving the strain is; Penis Envy is slower and usually gives 2–3 smaller flushes.
