- Are magic truffles legal?
- Magic truffles (sclerotia) are legal in the Netherlands and some other EU countries. Shipping restrictions differ per country — our system will block orders to destinations where they are illegal.
- How long do grow kits take?
- First flush typically appears 2-3 weeks after inoculation if you follow the instructions (humidity, temperature, light). A single kit usually produces 2-4 flushes.
- How long do fresh magic truffles stay potent?
- Sealed in the original vacuum pack and refrigerated at 2-4 °C, fresh truffles keep their potency for about 8 weeks from dispatch. Once opened, use within 48 hours or dry them on a ceramic plate at room temperature for long-term storage.
- When will my grow kit produce first mushrooms?
- Cold-shock the kit at 2-4 °C for 12 hours, then place in indirect light at 22 °C. First pins usually appear in 7-14 days and the first full flush in 18-25 days. A single kit typically delivers 2-3 flushes over 4-8 weeks.
- Do I need a microscope to use spore prints?
- The spore prints we sell are intended for microscopy and legal species identification. A 400-1000× light microscope is enough to study spore morphology, color, size and germination patterns. Storage instructions come with every pack.
